Is everyday

Firstly, it seems like he's taking the whole "I'll keep you by my side by marrying you this life" way too far. Shuri's just holding in appearance and POSSIBLY background for Ludovika, and the thing is with the way she's been dealt with her responsibility that's way too heavy for her shoulders is shackling her down way more than just

Sponsoring her as a student/noble lady to be married into a better house trope. He's literally taking her to be married to him as a better house and knowing how much time he has left is leaving her with the responsibility of heading it without having Jeremy bear it.

I think it's not only the "take care of my children" part it's also the selfish part because
1. He's not thinking straight with his condition currently (hallucinations and not enough sleep gg j should also b sleeping lmao)
2. The more he sees Ludovika, the closer he is to death (imo my own theory because it's more likely to be you see your biggest regrets in life before you die but his death is slow so he sees her more and more)

This one I feel is giving us the snippet of how he's not "irredeemable because he wifed Shuri as an image of his old flame and was abusive to her" but could actually be the image of Vika (still don't know how she died wtf) causing him to want a "do over" for his passiveness. (Also did he marry his wife loving her OR just doing it out of duty just like the current Empress??? Nani??? And didn't Vika get married to the kEmperor and then Johannes had his own wife?)
