however i only really ship them from a pure fantasy standpoint. which is part of why i find people reducing all the fantasy elements of the story to battler or sayo's fantasies pretty frustrating because it's an important distinction to me in their relationship that beatrice is the one that reaches battler (and adds a lot to the kinzo->battler parallels)
sayo deified him into something he's not over the six years between their "promise". she described her own pain and anguish as a test from God and Battler, which is... well, really fucked up. my beautiful princess with the disorders. and anyway on a mystery level sayo/jessica >>>>>>
