i've been rewatching parts of banquet and realizing the question kuwadorian beatrice most desperately wanted answered (and the question no one could even begin to answer without having to admit out loud how badly they have failed her) was "who am i?"

and that it is exactly that same question that beatrice poses to battler at the end of alliance as her final test for him before giving up. battler may forget his sin, but can he at the very least tell beatrice who she is? can he do this one thing that kinzo could not?

#and battler answers the question (too late)#just like genji and the others told sayo who she really was (too late)#and kinzo understood the gravity of his own sin (far far too late)#'who am i' not just a literal question of identity but a question of substance #what is the stuff that makes me up? who is the person you see me as? what created me? what made me like this?#another case of beatrice placing battler in kinzo's position #as if to test him. as if to say. prove to me that his blood can be overcome #prove to me that a product of him has a hope of being anything better.#wsec.txt #seagullposting #augh. beatrice.#c: bluebird #c: ahaha.wav #c: one yet many
