Two souls permanently becoming one...

[Unbound]

That would still mean that each individual would have to destruct in order to create the new personality. No, it's not zero-sum, but I never implied that either. That the new personality resembles both does not discount the destruction of the individuals to create that personality. I still see no way in which this would not come from a desire to destruct the self or to achieve power at the cost of both selves.

I just don't see the love in this concept, I suppose, I don't understand why two would destruct themselves to make a chimaera. That is a desire for there to be only self and no other-self it seems to me.

Also, note when I say destruct, I simply mean total deconstruction.
