So, remember how Neil Druckmann said the first TLOU was a game about love? Well, if we’re to apply that to the show:
1) Episode 1: Father-daughter love (from a blood-related angle)
2) Episode 2: Best friends/partners love (potentially romantic but also works from a platonic perspective)
3) Episode 3: Romantic love from beginning to end
4) Episode 4: Father-daughter love (from an adopted angle)
5) Episode 5: Brotherly/sibling love
6) Episode 6: How we show love to the people close to us, even if it causes conflict (Joel tries to leave Ellie to protect her, Ellie refuses to leave Joel because she feels safe with him)
7) Episode 7: Romantic love that is tragically cut short / friendship that grows into something more
8) Episode 8: How love can be twisted into something horrible (manipulation, sadism, abuse, etc)
9) Episode 9: The lengths we’ll go to protect our loved ones

I think we are so hung up on the toxicity of Nexus and Dark Sun, we are totally missing the sick twist toxic potential Stockholm symptoms between Dark Sun and Sun duo.
Either if we ship them or not.
Because if Sun follows Dark Sun path, or just goes with Dark Sun instead of Nexus, things can be for real so much worse.
Why am I saying that?
Because One of Sun's strongest characteristics is his loyalty, and his caring deeply for his family. He is willing to die with them and You can even just hit and bully Sun everyday and he will still forgive you.
And also, he doesn't care much about himself, and he sets his expectations very low, like... If you don't cross that limit, (his family), then you can do whatever with him.
So...
Let says something happens and Sun joined Dark Sun.
(Maybe the time when he killed Moon, maybe the time when Nexus just freshly got yeet out of space. Maybe... Just maybe... He hurt someone in his family)
My point is that, what if Dark Sun comes to Sun in his lowest point of his life.
He couldn't take it, couldn't handle it anymore... He might harm Nexus badly which makes him think Nexus was dead.
I think Sun would follow and obey Dark Sun unconditionally without asking any questions. Because he was so ashamed of himself that he never dared to crawl back at his home, to say sorry for the people he hurt, especially if the consequences are forever.
He will hold on to the only person who still stays there with him, and will do anything, desperately to get Dark Sun's approval and love, just like how he tried to behave to Moon with Killcode doesn't hate him anymore.
Dark Sun does not even need to use machines to brainwash Sun. He just needs some light manipulation day and there, to remind Sun that Moons are evil and no one can help him except himself, except Dark Sun.
I bet Dark Sun will kinda want a naive version of himself to stay with him, I mean, to teach Sun to be strong and all.
To save himself.
Or he just simply wants a Sun for himself, a naive and a little idiot person to push his ego...
Anyway...
And the more time they stay together, the more times Dark Sun lets or forces Sun to destroy a variant of Moons, there will be a piece of Sun gone, until nothing in there anymore.
Sun will be just like Servant Sun, completely follow Dark Sun, or just simple like his pet but this time, it is his choice and his own doom doing. And not by any re-programmed or star power.
;.; I just love when people get screwed by his own decision
