whether he actually lacks toes is up for debate
assuming this timeline/faction setup actually pans out the way I want it to in a plausible manner this man is about 75% responsible for why Nova is the way he is
and that's not a compliment we're talking the source of a good chunk of his negative qualities here
nothing like offloading your unresolved/unrealized trauma by proxy onto an 8+ year old because you resent/covet that innocence and also genuinely firmly believe in the principle of (harmful) tough love and toxic masculinity (gender neutral) being a highly beneficial and necessary part of life as a result of said trauma because it clearly worked out for you (it did not)
this particular strain of BSing may or may not have to do with the fact that there was no mention of Cyana in Cyanthia's backstory despite it mentioning Cayn and allegedly being most in line with the Cyanity/Color Burst lore
there's probably a perfectly reasonable explanation for this buti may or may not have made the possibly controversial decision to straight up fridge somebody anyway
and yes that's considered different than just killing them off and being done with it
it's basically the "dead wife/sister/fem friend due to the main's inability to help" trope things like crime shows use as a shorthand for when they wanna make the male main character big sad and vengeful without actually coming up with anything new
sister-like fem friend in this case
but it should maybe be fine here as they're in no way mains and that wasn't the sole or first thing that did him in as traumatized, just the most outstanding incident (having to fight for your life with your groupies in an endless sea of nothing but mist and monsters until you can actually secure definitive shelter (aka NC :D) as an adolescent is in no way a cakewalk either)
