Narcissus rejected everyone due to being arrogant about his beauty, and was enamored/feel in love with his reflection at looked at it until he died.

Nartranssus desired love and would take basically anyone, but they felt they were too ugly to love. They avoided their reflection at all cost as they only saw the face of a disgusting monster.

But a god comes along and finds them, sobbing. The god with divine knowledge, knows that the "monster" was just a mask that was forced upon Nartranssus at birth. The god helps them remove the mask, it's agonizingly slow, but the god reassures them that the result is worth it. Eventually the mask comes off, and after some hesitation, Nartranssus sees their true face. And after truly seeing themselves for the first time, they finally know why people like looking at themselves in the mirror.

Narcissus never ascended to become Nartransssus. Narcissus died incomplete.
