Don't go to reddit either! I play zzz and the announcement post with his name appeared in my TL, so give it a few days or mute the subreddits for a few days ♥️

HAHAHA I get what you mean, I wasn't a Zayne girlie... until I read those chapters, now I'm in DEEP as you can see!

Btw, about Sylus, I didn't add it because I was already rambling enough... but he's actually a Monsters himself as well and it's SO interesting 👀

I knowwwww it's GREAT! I swear I was reading the chapters with my jaw laying on the floor, I absolutely love it! The bad part is that now I'm hyped for the next update, and who knows when that'll be hahahaha
May 21, 2025 at 7:09 AM
And now THIS is the real ending of he thread!

Once again, I hope you enjoyed the theory!

If anyone wants to comment, I would love to read what they have to say, so do not hesitate to leave your comment!

I personally believe that the solution to all of this is for Zayne to fight his fate / the concept of fate and reject having to choose one of two things, therefore allowing the possibility of finding a future in which he can be together with MC.
May 21, 2025 at 12:49 AM
He goes into a crisis "fusing" with Dawnbreaker and becoming more like him, and chooses to leave MC because now he believes that part of his fate is having to kill monsters, which would include her, but he doesn't want to hurt her.
May 21, 2025 at 12:48 AM
During his discussion with Benedict in the climax, he realizes that his conviction to stop the experiment is also a conviction to kill people, Alterum, and "Monsters" like MC.
May 21, 2025 at 12:48 AM
Zayne chooses to destroy the technology and stop the Fountain experiment because he believes that its outcome cannot be controlled, and since it can be a Monster (Alterum/Wanderer/destructive change).
May 21, 2025 at 12:47 AM
TLDR:
In Zayne's two chapters, there is a parallel being made about what is a monster - something with a great destructive power that can kill people, a description that can be applied to the new Ever technology, Wanderers/Alterum and MC herself - and what to do with them.

I hope you enjoyed my ramblings!

After all, who knows? I haven't checked every book in that library. I haven't looked inside the box.
May 21, 2025 at 12:44 AM
And Zayne might be a killer, but also a doctor, a husband, an inmortal in a tower and a man who plants a field of flowers and watches them grow.
May 21, 2025 at 12:44 AM
And maybe, in a book tuckled somewhere, in a library that holds unending possibilities, all of them as similar and as different as snowflakes on a field, there is a world in which MC is a monster, but she's also a girl, a hunter, an avid plushie collector and so much more.

By choosing to decide your own fate, you remove the possibility of a set way, and suddenly everything is possible, there are more than one or two options, there is no need to remove the box, or to see what lies inside of it.
May 21, 2025 at 12:42 AM
Because, at the end of the day, this whole discussion has more than just two options, two outcomes - live or die? Humanity or monster? Creation or destruction? Action or inaction? Development or stagnation? Degradation or preservation? Fate or free will? Zayne or Dawnbreaker?
May 21, 2025 at 12:41 AM
Karin chooses to die because she is not willing to roll the dice, she does not wish to open the box and see what is inside. By trying to fight against a potential future, she also eliminates the option to fight against one's fate. But why?
May 21, 2025 at 12:41 AM
Karin's choice is a simplification of the whole discussion, the Schrodinger's box I mentioned before: do you stop the experiment and kill her, eliminating the chance of her becoming a Wanderer and the technology to maybe do the same to more people? Or do you cast the dice and see where it goes?
May 21, 2025 at 12:40 AM
Rmmbr when I mentioned how we get asked whether to kill Karin? If we click not to MC says that she doesn't want to decide someone else's fate. And while I think they could have put that point across better, I think it brings out the final piece of the puzzle: the ability to determinate your own fate
May 21, 2025 at 12:38 AM
AND OKAY THIS IS VERY SAD WHAT CAN WE DO TO SOLVE IT

I DON'T KNOW OKAY I'M NOT IN THE WRITING TEAM

BUT I HAVE A THEORY
May 21, 2025 at 12:37 AM
And now Zayne is starting to become just like him.
May 21, 2025 at 12:36 AM
Dawnbreaker knows. That's why he tried to kill her when they were twelve, that's why he also hurt her again when the black ice took over Zayne after his discussion with Benedict, that's why he was so adamant on insisting that she was a stranger and tried to part ways with her
May 21, 2025 at 12:36 AM
Because, MC has the Origium Core. MC is a planet that collapses on itself, the Little Bomb, cosmic destruction, she can provide unending energy to power Humanity and make it grow and also completely wipe it off. In Zayne's workvirew, MC's also a Monster. And possibly the biggest one of they all.
May 21, 2025 at 12:35 AM
But why did Dawnbreaker hurt her then? Why is Zayne so afraid that he'll do so in the future?
