#molly's little soul shard is blessed by fate and I love that for him

[dent-de-leon]

Thinking forever about how Lucien was fate-touched--a bright glint to his soul that was eventually lost. But then there's a part, a piece, a shard of a soul that becomes whole. And maybe fate isn't drawn to him like Lucien, but the fact that he exists at all is nothing short of a miracle. It's fitting, that Molly's resurrection succeeds on not just chance or destiny, but with the blessing of a Divine Intervention.

Molly being resurrected again in spite of the cruel hand fate dealt him, "opening his eyes for the first time in the longest time"--defying fate itself, the injustice of a universe that would have left him cold and Empty.

His enduring soul surprises even a goddess, the start of something new for which there is no other precedence. "Isn't that the strangest thing? There is nothing after thrice in the sequence, it just ends there. But that doesn't seem right, does it? Or fair. Well. I think we shall just have to make it up."

Molly's soul, reborn again. Growing like a little sprout, lovingly tended to like a flower in the Blooming Grove. "Fourth time's the charm." A bit of luck, a turn of fortune after suffering for so long. And as for what the future holds, the life that awaits Molly as King, the Moonweaver performs a final tarot reading. And draws Yasha's card of all things. Because for Molly's soul, this once Empty life filled with so much joy, at his core there will always be Love.

Honestly the absolutely surreal 2% Divine Intervention miracle of Molly's resurrection is even more narratively fitting with the context that Lucien/Molly is Fate-Touched--
