Machines do not lose their worth when a newer model appears.
Their worth (life) ends when humans can no longer bear that purity.
well thank you.

So I've been rereading parts of Tsukihime and looking at some of the Melty Blood dialogues, and I was wondering if anyone could give me an explanation/analysis of Roa to understand a bit more his philosophy and psychology (from the og vn, not the remake). Especially his definition of "eternity", which at first seemed to be "the cycle of life and death", the natural course of life (his will to live on). He became obsessed with it when he adopted a very nihilistic vision of the world, a world without value because of the eventual death of everything. In order to give meaning to life, you have to live forever, otherwise it will be nullified by death. That's why "eternity" is the only thing worth striving for, because everything else is meaningless. He understood that leaving the cycle of life and death wouldn't make him eternal, and he decided that if he couldn't cheat the cycle... he'd just have to become the cycle. However, he ended up falling in love with Arcueid because she was the very "eternity" he was looking for, something that was unaware of itself and its fate. I feel that this version of Arcueid was something akin to a natural phenomenon, something inhuman, without the power to give "meaning" to her existence and actions. Which would make "eternity" = earth? In the sense that it is the cycle AND does not feel the need to give meaning to itself. The meaningless cycle of life and death. And that's what Roa wanted to become, a pure being without a sense of self, existing for no reason...? But that's contradictory, if he acted to give meaning to the meaningless, why become something that can only exist without meaning? He also says that there's no point in eternity if he's not being observed by someone to confirm his existence, but to be observed by someone is to gain "meaning".
Yeah, I'm just lost and I think I may have misinterpreted some things? Please enlighten me.

His Eternity was mostly tied to humanity. He didn't care to keep living if/after the human race expired. Which is why Nrvnqsr said his eternity was imperfect, and Roa was fine with that. He was also fine with letting go of his ego but meeting Arcueid made him want to keep existing as he was, it had nothing to do with having meaning or not. Arcueid was just the very definition of eternity to a degree that was simply unattainable for a human being, which is why Roa states she surpassed everything he ever wanted to achieve.

For the priest, the golden princess was the one and only main heroine.
Everyone else was unworthy of his respect, no matter how strong they were.
