Sorry, double post again. 8) I'll try not to triple post.... but the thoughts are coming fast now. These are all consequences if the story and Yasu if Yasu truly has a problem with self identity.

Why can't Yasu leave the island? Which of her personas can leave the island? Well, Kanon can and Shannon can. But Beatrice cannot leave the island, since her myth is closely tied to it. The other two can leave for awhile but to leave permanently to go after Battler or George means to rip away Beatrice.

To us normal people it feels like we're just going to give up pretending. But to someone with no self identity it's like sawing off a limb.

Which she DOES, when she decides in EP6. (Or Tooya imagines this for her.) Imagine the pain of doing this for her if it was real.


More... this is just an interesting thought experiment:

Imagine you living your life. You wake up, you get some toast, you go walk the dog. Now imagine how Yasu lives it. Just WHO wakes up? Then who eats the toast? Who walks the dog? You can't live your life as a non-entity doing these things, it makes no sense to your brain. So you start making up the who, because there cannot logically be a no-one who did all those things.

Etc., etc... Anyways.. I'll shut up now. 8)
