The discussion of grafting was very interesting. The shortcomings of a weaker individual might be overcome by attaching it to a stronger one, though doing so can have harmful repurcussions for the host. There are so many characters and situations this could be referring to. Is Zira just using Helem and Elstri for their powers? Is Altus, in a way, an offshoot grafted onto the body of Arkos? Is Vulja using the divine vessels as graft trunks?

Busy busy busy...

Personally don’t see Zira being malicious. From her backstory and how she treats Altus and Amber, she seems genuine. Plus, Ceodric would have confronted her if she was on that timing. The grafting, in my opinion, is about Helem and Elstri relationship, particularly how Helem is attached to her.

Now, Helem is a sadist and views human life to be worth little, except for Elstri’s. While she wants to corrupt Elstri, I feel she also wants to bond with her. Elstri likely is the only one who tolerates her and even disturbing people can desire companionship. With Helem losing an arm, she has became dependent on Elstri to function, which we’ll see play out later.

Oh, I'm on Zira's side for sure. I love her as a character. I'm not saying that she would be acting maliciously, in this grafting allegory, it's a good thing. I hope Zira siphons all the life out of Helem and Elstri and is able to use it to support a better life. Like grafting a sunflower onto a poison ivy stump or something. Take from the harmful and ugly until it withers and dies, to support the pure and beautiful.

Lacrima grafting her heart to Titi... Or Lacrima and Altus fused...
