>>12991424if it was a three stage mon you could get away with Quarks -> atom -> molecule, but this isn't the case
it is a two stage mon. taking the simplest kind of particle as a first stage is a must. if it was atom -> molecule, it would feel like a midstage evolving into a final form rather than a first form evolving into a final form
look at the way most two stages are. a cute first stage, followed by a more drastic final stage
