Messiah Complex

Did anyone else think it was more than coincidental that the girl died in the end in order to resolve all, or at least most, of the problems in the story?

I'm not sure if it's really relevant or if it's just my imagination getting the best of me.

    Yeah, I mean, she was an avatar after all.

    Although, she didn't really solve that many problems herself, it was the whole Gen 3 Ai a.k.a Brahma that did it. So, attributing responsibility to any one person goes against the whole All is One mantra espoused by the aeai.

    I don't think it's coincidental at all, though I'm not exactly sure why she had to die at the end of the story.

    I don't think it's coincidental, either. It happens in a lot of other stories, too. The hero has to die in order to save everyone else.

    I wonder if the gods abandoned her, like Lull seems to think. She certainly was left out in the cold there at the end.
