I love with the fact Lauriam lived during Fairy Tale era (chi era), Marluxia’s existence could possibly be a walking irony.

His plan to weaponize Sora? He was weaponized child himself back then, all right, risking his life to collect Lux like every other children in that time.

His plan to manipulate Sora’s memories? He had experiences in that too, with his involvement in Dream Eaters creation and all… Although back then well-intentioned to make everyone feels less negative about the war.

His plan of betrayal for the Organization? What if he just had a hunch, because everything goes straight downhill because they believed/obeyed the MoM too much to take different actions despite he is cryptid as hell? That he saw that in Xemnas? That voicing opinion won’t help anything ? That he had to take actions alone?

What if he knows Sora harbored Ven’s heart all along because Roxas looks like Ven instead of Sora? And plans to forcibly rips it our from Sora to wake Ven up-which what Xehanort did to Ven that caused him into that state?

What if Strelitzia actually was his sister? And he hates to see Namine because she reminds him to the sister he failed to protect?

He chastises Sora for willingly “be bound by chain of memories made of lies”. What if, he was the one bound by chain of memories all along? By memories of the ages where child soldiers are the norm, where infant immortality is inversed? Of memories where Heartless could be people you know personally? But he had to remember,no matter how much it hurts him, no matter how he wished to forget, because people are bound to repeat things they didn’t remember. But no one will trust him even if he says the truth about how Keyblade War wrecked the world- fairy tale is a fairy tale, after all. Also, Sora’s memories was mostly pleasant, and Marluxia is baffled he is okay with it taken from him. Marluxia’s own past was far from pleasant and so he envies Sora who had nice, peaceful background but is baffled Sora is willing to throw all those sweet memories away?

His whole flower and death motifs. He lived during the era where children dies, dissappears, and turned into monsters are common before they reach adulthood. What if he adapted his whole motifs because he saw how ephemeral and fragile people’s lives are, falling down one by one like petals in fall? and his grim reaper motifs, he adapted it because he thinks he grants mercy kill to other children who wished to stay human at least for their last seconds, yet now he is the one not human?

Dandelions are supposed to be seeds of hope and light. And now look what he had become, an embodiment of hellish, dark, deathly interpretation of flowers.

I trust you Nomura, you better make the flower boy as miserable and angsty as possible that he lived during fairy tale era.
