i figured for a while that "pruning" wasn't actually death, otherwise they would've just said so.
good rebound after episode 3.
i am confused though -- so like they're on lamentis literally seconds away from dying. they start to hold hands, which i guess begins a nexus branch and explains how the tva found them.
what i dont understand is this -- if they were going to die in seconds, what exactly could they have done in such a short period of time to create a nexus event big enough for the tva to find them? and if the answer is something like "they would have escaped the impending doom" then they would have done so prior to being in a spot where they were literal seconds away from death
basically -- there is nothing they could have done to create a branch from the timeline in the seconds before their deaths. that's literally why sylvie was hiding in apocalypses -- because the apocalypse would erase the entire branch no matter what she did.
unless them making out somehow causes them to fuse and become some immortal super god allowing them to survive? otherwise i must have missed something
i was under the impression that it was because they were in essence the same person touching each other. Im not certain the romantic aspect has much to do with it.
Just that they are the same being interacting with each other likely causes some pretty devastating effects to the timeline.
