I totally agree! It leaves my heart aching when I know OG Ruby will always be dead, and has no opportunity for true redemption(?) And happiness. Especially now knowing she was so desperate to reverse all her mistakes and save her loved one's lives with her own I also feel for our FL because she most likely won't return to her own timeline to find growth and happiness in her OG body!! If only it had a modern arc at the end
Oh my god I always think this but especially here!! The amount of abuse and suffering OG Ruby also went through only to end in a horrible death at the hands of someone she could have loved ;-; Obviously I want our Ruby to live happily with Iske, but I wish OG Ruby could have lived a peaceful life and healed..
There’s a theory that Og Ruby and current Ruby are the same, it’s like Penelope’s situation from villains are destined to die if you know. In the novel og Ruby looks at our Ruby and says “You are me” and then our Ruby wakes up suddenly. Author left this to our imagination and interpretation. I believe these two are the soul.
I've always found it obvious that OG Ruby and our Ruby are the same soul. She really messed up in the 1st life so she had to suffer in her 2nd (losing her sister like Iz lost his & having a miserable life while never feeling as if she belonged) now her 3rd life is still a shitty start but the knowledge she retained is the true blessing here. So I've never once thought that there were 2 different Rubies. It just doesn't make sense. Now, if her second life was peachy, then that'd be different. Then I could see she's a new Ruby. Even if the creator told me they're two different people then I'd have to argue that she changed her mind towards the end because all Ruby's becomes meaningless if they are two different souls. (=・ω・=)
Yea exactly! Them being the same soul makes so much sense and it just shows that Izek loved the same soul in every timeline, and also explains Ruby having no holy power because the one from the first time ran out of it while stealing the holy grail and then made a wish to turn back time and to save her loved ones, they’re the same soul idc
I love our Ruby obviously, but I can't help but to feel bad for the OG Ruby or generally in these stories, I feel very bad for the OG characters before they get possessed by someone else (Usually that's why I prefer reincarnation instead of Isekaid).
Especially because OG Ruby seemed to be in love with Iske and vise versa as well. Im not saying that our Ruby took Iske from OG Ruby but in some way I always ask myself if things didn't turn the way they did (or in another life) OG Ruby was allowed to have a happy life with the man she loved instead of forever disappearing, giving everything she has to someone else. If you get what I mean( ´Α｀)
