Ayin's "get fucked" is slightly different from everyone else. Both in the in the sense of being a top-tier simp and begging for that Carmussy and "I'm gonna subject my love to unspecified amount of mental torture to fulfill her goal". Architects has an interesting way to show they *can* build different.

If someone distorts through simple lectic discourse, they won't be worthy of an E.G.O. anyway. Carmen just separates the wheat from the chaff. Seed or husk, what are you? 10000 years of being a bucket would do that to someone.

tbh Distortion or E.G.O, that's the same to Carmen anyway, all that matters is that humans reconnect to their deep selves. She just prioritises Distortions because they're easier to make and manipulate.

Still can't believe Carmen got namedropped this early in the game, and is the only time her name was mentioned when someone was on the verge of distorting/manifesting EGO. Limbus-onlys must be confused on who she is

[@Stonepeb]

I feel like that’ll be mentioned after very near in the future because Dante’s clock also moved closer to 12AM at the end of Canto IV Theoretically, it’s possible for Carmen to affect the Sinners too, I wonder if Ishmael will be affected because she seems to be both Ishmael and captain Ahab, and captain Ahab has a very strong desire to kill the whale Similarity to how the mirror Yi Sang took the role of Yeonism along with with Gubo also being the wife Ishmael could also share a similar hatred for the Whale like captain Ahab, she’s also shown to be quite mentally unstable and questioning the morality and pain of the Abnormalities in her reports Her chapter would be sick ngl

[@NIHIL_EGO]

​@@user-sd6py4sr8tDistorcion is when you give up and accept the situation that you are in and not following your ideals. EGO is when you fully understand and controls the ideals that you hold and become incorruptive.

Doesn't she want it either way? Always wondered why the Carmen takes an L became prominent, prolly cause it would be funnier to think of it like that I guess.

[@StraisinLCB]

I'm not fully certain about her motivations, but we do know that she exclusively tries to talk people into distorting as the voice

[@lalulica]

If I recall correctly, she whispers to them so that they embrace their true selves, ego and distortion are essentially both embracing yourself true self what differs is distortion is the car is driving you while ego is your driving the car. At least that's how I interpreted it.

Spoiler In Dawn Office Sinclair's Uptie. It's clear that Carmen only wants Distortions. In her eyes, Distortions are the fully realized humanity, tossing away all their restrains and embracing their true self. All I'm saying is that Ayin = EGO (the will to forge on using your own will and manifest into a weapon), Carmen = Distortions (Succumbing to the pressures, and just accepting who you really are deep down without any regards to anyone)

[@averageviewer8511]

In hindsight, Ahab might've done so because she only ever cared for herself and only heard her own voice, so she might've just straight up ignored Carmen.
