(I make up characters with the ulterior motive of having them hug)
Sorry for the long wait @·@ I had like 3 super busy weeks, which I complained about in my nobel prize winning piece of poetry: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10010563/
I'm glad to be drawing again 'u' it makes me feel good and making this comic feels like a meditation

I love this story so much! It pushes so many of my storytelling, worldbuilding and character development buttons!
Tbh I wonder if maybe quasi-past life (idk but I'm going with them being kinda like reincarnations of past beings and that's because of the dreams) Ka did something so horrible (or was manipulated to do it if I go by her dream, maybe with promised ambitions? she seems very ambitious after all. ), maybe to Moi specifically ( the place he saw with the pillar of light kinda resembled an altar to me, with him resting at the zenith), or those close to him (if I go by he hating loneliness I can guess that maybe he lost everyone he had, possibly to past Ka), and that's why his past-self would resurface with killing rage if he could see her eyes.
Also I just can't bring myself to trust higher powers like the elestians in this. They do have an objective/s, I wonder what it/they are, but I guess my opinion of them will be based in how is death handled in this story, bcos I'm pretty sure they are above death technologically, and even souls (which I will assume exist here an are the "broken" part of poseans, also I'm going with the phrase "the eyes are the window of the soul" which is how Moi soul would recognize Ka's one in any shape as long as he saw her eyes).
Also I'm gonna guess and say that even though mind and soul are connected they aren't exactly the same being, or at least not in the case of poseans since this would be their mind first time living but their soul's second one. Maybe the elestians want to heal their souls through a new mind free of the problems their first mind went through, like the mind carrying the soul can affect the soul more than the soul can the mind and so a new mind can heal soul scars a past one left.
This would also show how bad wherever Moi went through was to the point that his soul scars could over rule his new mind, and also explain what the elestians meant when they said "his mind choose not to see" as if that's the only way his mind could find of protecting itself of the soul scars, and also if I'm right about the new minds being a way to heal the soul that would also explain why Ka and Moi where brought together, to fester an affection that would heal their souls. I'm theorizing hat maybe Moi will become able to see when this bond becomes stronger that the hatred/scars of his soul.
knowing all this (and by knowing I mean assuming I'm right, which I'm probably not xD) I can make a sketch of the barebones of a narrative; Moi and Ka obviously knew each other in their past life (duh), when the Elestians said "keep her away from guilt, boats and water depths" that's because those are her biggest soul scars, and connecting it to her and Moi's nightmares I gonna guess that the cube connected with a rope to the dying tree and the dead fish and Moi being underwater in his dream might mean that she was the one that killed Moi by making him sink with a weight (probably manipulated to do so) and that's where her guilt comes from. And the light pillar making Moi company in his underwater dream was because of how alone he might have felt when he died. Also maybe Moi was a slave or something akin to that if I take in account that the elestians said "give him freedom and keep him away from pain" and that also goes with him being the tree roped to the cube.
BUT all of this is just my theories which probably have a lot of holes in them!
I love theorizing like this while reading stories like these, sorry for the wall of text! XD Take this as a testament of how much I'm liking your story, only stories I like this much can make my mind run like this!
thanks a lot for the very thoughtful comment! i love seeing what readers speculate ^^ I guess we'll see what happens!
