I fear it's for the angst and plot T^T them not having babies is tragic but seeing Tei crash out over Shu dying would also be good to see

Idc I’m gonna say it, I think it’s also a WASTE that this won’t be mpreg. The author said on X that BotWK is connected historically to Smyrna and Capri (takes place thousands of years before SaC I believe) but that this world doesn’t have mpreg. I just think that with Tei’s obvious desire (twice now he’s lamented over not being able to carry Shuraka’s child) to carry a baby and to help Shuraka spread his seed — which will literally KILL HIM if he doesn’t btw — leaves us, the audience, disappointed. If the story was just about them, why should Tei care so much? Or include that bit about Shuraka’s seed poisoning him? For the angst? Idk… I’m obviously not the author and we can’t pretend to know what they’re thinking, but if they’ve done mpreg before why not now?! I think out of all of their stories Shuraka might actually be the most obsessed with his partner. Adding a baby would only make it better imo
