The Syndrome of a Broken Heart
In general, when the main character in a series dies, it is often the end.
For example, in “Frozen”, at the end of the story, the older sister steals the love interest, leaving the two girls heartbroken, and the male protagonist has no choice but to be with an animal (the fate of those who refuse to die often tends to be quite pitiful).
However, considering that this is a novel and there have been precedents before, as mentioned in “Rework,” “Fixing one bug often introduces a new one.”
Helplessly, we assume that the little wizard can be resurrected.
But the blow to the little wizard is so great that he surpasses the level of resurrection time and lingers in the altar, unwilling to come out. So, he decides to create an extra story.
When we read some books that describe history, we often come across a term: historical limitations.
This also applies to individual independence.
For example, six months or a year later, as long as we continue to move forward mentally, we often look back and realize our own limitations. What now comes so easily to us was once a chaotic mess.
As someone who has been through it, we often try to convince others:
There is no reality that cannot be overcome.
If you lose the goddess, find a new one.
I have experienced greater setbacks than you, and yet I managed to get through them. It’s just that your ability to deal with stress is too weak.
As the person involved, instead of beating them up for their advice (after all, they mean well), the pain in our hearts is not significantly alleviated.
In fact, when we ourselves are the ones experiencing it, we often cannot escape this cycle either.
Humans have the ability to forget pain, as demonstrated most clearly by the pain of childbirth. After a mother goes through the pain, she may think about having another child a year or two later.
So, when enough time has passed, we naturally forget the initial pain, and a breakup is no longer a big deal.
At this point, when we see others going through a breakup, we often have the same feeling - it’s just a breakup, what’s the big deal? And we tend to go to the “persuasion” phase.
When writing, we should pay attention to ups and downs. Skillful authors internalize this into the plot, setting, and atmosphere seamlessly, while less skilled authors often use a dry transitional phrase:
But
Most of the time, we don’t know why we are in pain and can only use “breakup” as a general summary.
So, why is it that some people can immediately switch to chasing after other girls (beasts! Well, jealous…), while others take it as a sign of devoted love?
We know that due to the existence of the subconscious, what we are conscious of is often just the tip of the iceberg.
The pain of a breakup is not simply about losing a person.
It often includes the loss of your romantic ideals, the shattering of future dreams, and even the collapse of personal beliefs.
Deep down, you also know that she is not as perfect as you imagine. But when you are immersed in fantasies, you subjectively overlook these flaws.
Just like a colorful soap bubble in the sunlight, it is infinitely beautiful, but once it bursts, everything disappears.
Within a short period of time, all the beautiful aspects of life are taken away (or at least you believe they are all taken away).
This kind of thing, which could completely overturn your worldview, naturally causes pain.
You feel like the oxygen has been taken away from your life, leaving you empty inside.
You force yourself to appear happy in front of others, only mentioning it to close friends.
If you are unfortunate enough to be self-aware, and you realize that you are bothering others, you often become silent after speaking a few words.
When you are back to being alone, emptiness floods in from all directions, with no means of escape.
Congratulations, at this moment, you have encountered the ultimate human and even universal question: loneliness.
From an economic perspective, we know that everything we invested in the goddess belongs to sunk costs.
The scientific approach at this point is to be as strong as steel and cut losses in a timely manner - meaning, there must be a breach to allow rebirth! Strictly control the expansion of opportunity costs.
However, in reality, there are often only a few stock market gurus.
This is because human emotions often precede logic.
We should recognize that most of human emotions come from the ancient animal brain, which has short pathways and quick responses, belonging to the core level with higher authority.
On the other hand, the thinking process in the neocortex has longer pathways and slower responses, belonging to the application layer with the lowest authority.
If the amygdala hijacks and locks it up, such as by twisting its belt, it will lead to the application layer lacking sufficient authority and being rejected.
At this point, emotions completely control the person.
So, we can understand why the little wizard is unwilling to resurrect
