Because between Namikka, Krile's parents, and Cahciua, there weren't enough cheap cry moments in there I guess.

But that's why I brought up the Omicron. They reshaped their entire civilization to house actual souls inside robotic shells. Otis was an example of an Endless that worked without the soul sucking issue, but he was one example that while I think it's unlikely, could've been a fluke. But even assuming there's some inherent difference between storing souls vs storing memories(it's all just aether so...lol I doubt it), just give the Omicron some data about the Endless and Alexandria's tech and I'm sure they could work out a solution in a day or so.
The fact we didn't even consider consulting the Omicrons for Living Memory or asking Alisae to rustle up a porxie help with the paralyzed kid proved to me Hiroi has an actual disdain for what was previously written. I would've grumbled but let it pass if both the Omicrons or Alisae were like "Sorry we can't help because (insert bullshit reason here)." Instead it was completely glossed over and either Hiroi doesn't understand the lore of the game he's been on for around a decade, or he actively is trying to ignore what happened before so he can make this about his Mary Sue furry character. Both situations are bad and prove he needs to be let go.
