The Ye siblings and proxy have the most misunderstood relationship in the game because of this screenshot
People get really upset that YSG loves the proxy more than others and people jump the gun and seem to think she has no care for her brother at all which is simply not true and such extreme hyperbole. She has a legitimate reason to like proxy. Even if you don’t like the dynamic she does have a reason.
Her brother loves her but didn’t respect her choices, autonomy and didn’t accept she was grown. She needed time and had to pull away. She accepted her fate as the bearer of the sword and wanted to be somone who could sacrifice herself for the greater good. You might think that shinyuan is right for not accepting that but you have to remember that if she didn’t use the sword then who will. He would, he says it himself “the sword should’ve chose me instead” she made her choice to risk her life for the safety of others (literally no different from characters like Harumasa or Zhu yuan)
Shinyuan went undercover in enemy lines behind the summits back and killed Sarah. He got possessed by the creator and YSG used the sword to save him from it. Then next patch he was trying to find a way to separate the user while YSG spent the first part looking for him. They spend their lives sacrificing themselves over eachother but the cycle needed to end. They both need to move on with their paths. Personally I love my sister but I wouldn’t want to live my entire life with her, I’d rather live with my spouse but I’m still grateful for what’s she has done for me.
“She’s annoying waifubait” “She’s a fraud” whatever but you can’t convince me that she does not love her brother. And using this frame out of context won’t either this is her alter form which is an expression of her emotional desires speaking out of desperation. Or maybe it’s a love confession that her love for the proxy is romantic and not platonic?
