I am not arguing that it is not a tragedy, but a tragedy does not have to involve genocide. Genocide is what the Ancients tried to do with the new life post Zodiark.

Part of that has to do with the rejoinings that the Ascians caused, as seen by the traces of the sundering that was recorded on the First.

I don't remember Emet-Selch confirming actual memory wipes for the Ancients. Does that have anything to do with Elidibus's memory as well?
By your logic the new life wouldn’t have been genocide though, because the souls of that new life would have still been inside Zodiark just like the ancient souls were…
