[Luna IV Spoil] Rerir's End Feels Appropriate
After everything he's done, Rerir does not deserve to be happy or to have some cookie cutter peaceful conclusion. BUT, I do have a deep pity for both him and Thlondis and where they both ended up.
Regardless of the corrupting effect of the Abyss, and how he was effectively manipulated down the path he was on (by it AND Irmin), Rerir was still conscious to and cognizant of everything he was doing. Him show genuine regret and remorse — after the fog of the Abyss was lifted — was perfect, but all the Abyss did was draw out and amplify his worst qualities. It was still his decision to walk down the paths he did.
Ultimately, he did not deserve to be redeemed and (thankfully) he wasn't. She's been dead for centuries and, now, she finally knows everything; there was never any chance of the two returning to a normal life, no matter what the power of the Abyss made him think.
He will forever spend his time knowing that Thlondis is so very close by, but that they will never meet again. In addition, he has to sit with the knowledge that it was all for nothing, not because they will never be reunited (and he will never hear her answer) but because he was fighting so hard for something impossible.
Thlondis being both gone and right there (literally within reach but unreachable) and the pair knowing that their actions and lies are the backbone of what will forever keep them apart — even with the pair's lies finally revealed — is a deeply and appropriately poetic end.

I jest, but I still think he might have a role in the future of some kind.
Cuz there's still veds prophecy left, along with the reason why tholindis' memories were found in rerir, his relationship with rhine, and also him knowing why tholindis did what she did, also her not answering his proposal.
>! He is apparently the second weekly boss so idk how that fits after this !<
It spoils the fact that we even see rerir. A lot of people did not expect to even see him
It does not spoil that we see him. It does not spoil what happenes tk him. It does not spoil what state he is in at any stage. The only thing it "spoils" is that we get to find out how he ended up WHICH, if you were at all engaged for any of the previous Archon Quests, you would already be expecting (since Columbina went through the same Moon Gate he did).
Nothing in the title is a spoiler.
[Rerir appears out of the moon portal]
"BTW he's juiced on my moon powers and is literally unkillable. Have fun kthx bai"
I wouldn't say I want Rerir free, but god damn it'd be a mercy to just kill him and Tholindis.
You know that he comes back into the narrative because you've played the quest, how does someone who hasn't read that from the title?
I have not spoiled anything in my title, as you have absolutely no clue what I am talking about until you either,
A) Do the quest
Or,
B) Open the post
