“I prefer Brian more than Ian” mf they’re the same person the reason why Ian felt so different from Brian is because he grew up in a fucking corrupted country, was imprinted by Lorkan and was isolated by everyone. If Sol found Ian first then he could have grown up like Brian but unfortunately Lorkan found him first.
Ian may seem annoying to others after seeing the entire past now but I can’t believe people forget what was Ian’s conflicting feelings in the first place. Ian knowing he’s Brian’s reincarnation first before recovering his memories is a bad move as said by Sol because it would look like he prefer Ian’s past life more than his present self that is full of flaws. Love is something that you have to accept all of your lover’s flaws, if you can’t accept their flaws then you don’t deserve them.
I also vote on Ian should remember his life as Brian because the person who he consider his savior is the one who killed him and plan to isolate him AGAIN. But at the same time, I want him to not forget the life he lived as Ian which people want him to. Don’t brush off people’s pain as if it’s nothing that serious. Ian lived his entire life pleasing and keeping everyone’s expectations of him because they see him as an anomaly for having magic, for people to tell him to forget his mental pain and the discrimination is a fuckass move.
