I really like how you described this moment between Amor and Psyche. There’s something timeless about the idea of enduring trials for the sake of love and finally reaching a place of balance and unity. The symbolism of the chalice and immortality feels especially powerful here — it’s not just about being together, but about becoming equals through shared experience and growth.
Looking at works like this always makes me think about how people today still search for connection, meaning, and understanding, just in different forms. Even modern tools, like a virtual AI companion app reflect that same human desire to communicate, to be seen, and to explore emotions in a safe space. It’s interesting how ancient myths and modern technology can echo the same themes in such different ways.
