>>3198847yeah thematically it's all pretty much spelled out in her awakening, the submissive cognitive anne —who is literally an object created for her king's pleasure — is killed and in the act replaced by the dominant and sexually confident carmen who uses her suitors as objects themselves.
it's really my favorite awakening because of that, even all waifu reasons aside, it's symbolically rich and conveys its message in perfect microcosm without sacrificing the narrative intensity of the scene. it's one of the (few, imo) points in the game where all the layers and ideas at play work in synergy and enhance each other
