Talk:Beth

this is the same thing that I "posted" about Alicia under her discussion tab:

My (HK's) theory (speculation):

After reading chapter 103, and learning that the Destroyer's (the Awakened new being of what was once the half merged bodies of Rafaela+Luciela) "Infection" ability, actually breaks any mental "block/wedge/limiter" (see how Dietrich explains this when the Abyss Feeders/Eaters get infected by the hellcats' small prjoectiles) on the host, I'm theorizing (speculating) that when Beth got impaled and infected by the huge projectile from the Destroyer, it broke whatever type of mental control the Organization had on Alicia+Beth, and thus we see them now able to have their own personalities, free-will, or "souls" back and they finally show emotions, their love for each other as sisters.

After reading chapter 103, we learn that the Infection (probably) doesn't (seem to) actually change its host into an Awakened (or to say it in another way, doesn't take over their mind). So, Infected Beth was probably not being controlled by the Destroyer, and instead had her own mind in control of herself, and might have even chose to use the Infection to create that Infected Awakened form of hers (like Dauf used the Infection to regenerate himself and then to make new hellcat arms), possibly because she sensed that either Alicia needed help against Riful+Dauf, or she sensed Priscilla approaching.

However, as we know, Cynthia and Yuma were nearby, and Infected Awakened Beth attacked them. So, maybe my theory is wrong due to this.

Also, we learn (I don't know the source off of the top of my head. I'll get it here later) that Alicia+Beth are actually both sharing the burden of using the Soul Link to keep control of or to protect each other from the yoma inside them taking them (their minds) over (Awakening them "permenantly". Actual-completed Awakening may be reversible...but we haven't seen it yet). They are not taking turns, at least according to Riful anyways.

I feel that this theory of mine nicely explains:

the change from no emotions to emotions and their behavioral change (like why Alicia kept on attacking Riful, then attacked the AFs/AEs, and finally then left Riful unharmed and went to go aid/save her sister Beth from Priscilla). Such a selfless act, could not be the action of selfish Awakeneds whom just care about their own survival (except for Riful+Dauf due to their love for each other, and near the end of Isley's life, his caring about Raki+Priscilla), nor could it be the action of "robotic soul-less emotion-less slave weapons" of the Organization.
