on the opera

and its players

inviolet/sacrosanct are omniscience vs. omnipotence, and their story is about preventing a suicide that already happened in one timeline, but it's also about a cycle of rabbits chasing rabbits and preventing a mutual ending, preventing a dual suicide (at different temporal points in the dimensions), inviolet is a time-traveler, or

chronoroi (a "chronoroi" practitioner is a "temporal curse" practitioner, (chronology (time) + noroi (curse); "kuronoroi" (katakana) = homonym for "black curse"; kanji is time + curse) 「時呪い（クロノロイ）」))

yue xianming/qian zhouyu have opposing desires, yue xianming wants to fall in love "for once and for all / is this a love letter or a suicide note" and to fall in love not just with 'anyone' or ' in general' but with qian zhouyu who showed him a seed of kindness when there was only annihilation.

qian zhouyu wants to surpass yue xianming, but qian zhouyu is only a genius when yue xianming is a god, and in the face of that impossibility, qian zhouyu wishes to destroy / subdue xianming, but he can't help but love xianming, too. and hate himself for it. and hate himself for it. yue xianming is the time-traveler, the chronoroi practitioner, and as a god, is the "omnipotent/omniscient" combination, and at some points, she shatters zhouyu's memory. zhouyu is about mortality and mortal rage and violent jealousy. but love, too. and love, too.

miryoku/hotaru shiba are new ones, so i am still discovering them, but miryoku is about play and manipulation, about running the run, about running gambits. she is an umisuzume, which protects the operant/operatic time in her world, miryoku is the chronoroi practioner here.

hotaru shiba is just a sleepy fox girl, she is an oracle and a harpist, she has the power to predict time. where inviolet's temporal abilities give them "omniscience," hotaru shiba has "omniscience" in her prediction engine through "playing the red strings of fate," in music, but miryoku, even if she is predicted, she can reset the time due to her chronoroi powers, and therefore she is the "omnipotent" figure.
