I Don’t Think Till Is Dead, At Least Not Narratively.

I don’t think Till is dead, at least not narratively.

He is very much dead in canon imo. Even if he could theoretically survive the shots from Blink Gone, Wiege made a point in Mizi’s grief and her crying is a big indicator he’s probably not breathing anymore. I do see some people trying to rationalize why he’s not dead yet using real world sciences, but honestly it’s a reach. It unrealistic to expect works of art to portray real world science 100% accurately (as in we artists does do our research, but can’t research to the extent of such fans reverse engineering and selecting very niche things to prove something).

However, Till’s story has not reached any sort of climax or have a satisfactory ending yet. So far, Sua’s, Ivan’s and Hyuna’s stories can be tied up in a neat little bow, but Till’s is still lacking. So far there are 3 main points/stories we know about him, being his backstory (MamaTill (i forgot her name) and her love for him being a catalyst for his love of humanity/other things seeing as he’s the only other member of Alnst’s cast to have actual human blood family), his admiration for Mizi (being his inspiration for many things) and his complicated relationship with Ivan. I think it’s pretty clear their relationship is not unrequited and Till does consider him and Ivan somewhat close, but I interpret their relationship as being not very communicative and that leads to the tragedy of Ivan’s story. That being said, I don’t believe we’ve quite have a clear perspective of Till’s side on their relationship. Cure is very focused on Ivan’s perspective of things, and while Blink Gone does show some imagery of Ivan, it is more of his reaction to Ivan’s death rather than his relationship to Ivan and to Ivan himself. (I’m not gonna analyze their relationship and Cure and Black Sorrow many others have made threads about that)

How is Vivimeng going to continue his story? I have no idea. But my best guess is that Till is probably going to be given a solo song and/or an MV like the Mizisua one.

I find it fascinating how half of the cast needs the death of their respective duo/ship to be pushed to the next point of their stories lmao. In the same vein it’ll probably be a while before Luka’s or Mizi’s stories end. Mizi is now on her ‘discovering the corruption the world carries’ story after being protected for so long and Luka has his ‘Live with love’ story, either being a redemption arc or his story will end soon with his love, Hyuna.
