[MEMORY # 39 (TRIVIAL NEUTRAL)]
* THOSE FUCKING SOUL GUNDAMS.
Won from Game 92: Feasts for Anansi.
In the final dungeon of Symphonia the party runs into three robot sub-bosses -- the Fugitive (fear, selfishness, cowardice); Judged (sins and the ability/inability to face them) and Neglected (internal bitterness and self-loathing). They are all representations of the pain in Mithos's heart! They have to kill these bosses in order to make taking on Mithos easier, because Mithos's very final boss form is . . . a fourth magic demon robot that is a combination of the first three. Yes.
This memory doesn't cover those confrontations, but rather his creation of the robots and the circumstances around it, probably a couple of thousand years prior to any of Lloyd's party even being born. That was probably a period of Mithos's life where he was starting to come out of the emotionlessness that accompanies the lifeless being state, and didn't want to because it was easier to keep not feeling feelings, particularly when the vast majority were super negative. His solution was to delay the return of emotions by literally booting the worst of them out of himself and crafting the robots so he didn't just have a back room full of emotions gunk somewhere.
(They still came back after, but that is another memory.)
+ SOME PEOPLE WRITE EMO POETRY, I MAKE EMO SOUL ROBOTS
+ In hindsight, that was kind of stupid; did he seriously have nothing better to do with his powers . . . ssssideeye . . .
+ The whole embarrassment aspect aside, this is an extremely unpleasant memory with some alarming implications about how he casually chucked out bits of his soul! It is also full of blatant self-directed hatred as well as hatred of others, which are things he tries super hard to shift away from in Aather. His general sentiment towards it is going to be 'llllet's move on now' and it will probably put him in a mood for a while after.
