During the drama airing i might talk hardly on XL on this thread .. so before the drama starts this evening I'd like to analysis on this crystal ball, last poison product ..
. I was reading and searching for details.. I can confirm..its SOS message from Xiao Yao towards XL as Peng Peng said before long time ago.
So here is abstract from Koala ver.. chapter 31.
This analysis is from many events that occured before and after it was made.
Xiao Yao had claimed this will be her last gift to XL.
We can take the beautiful mermaid as Xiao Yao . She was in her clam shell.
Here is the tease, in chapter 26, XL told XY that the merman carried clam shell to get mating with a mermaid. That was what is considered.. because XY did not know when she slept in the clam 37 years.. what it is meant for. But during that time, XL was coming to heal her once a month. She again slept in clam shell in chapter 26 to heal heartbreak too.
If we come to see in reality, XL never woo XY..he just put XY there for healing both times. And that trip in chapter 26 must had made XY at peace. So she wanted to experience it again. Its no surprising it will be in her mind when crafting. It actually tell her current mental status too. As if she was in her clam shell and touching her heart with 1 hand and another 1 was as calling out to the merman. If in a normal love story I would have interpret as the merman could be her lover. But in here in reality it never is there in Lost you forever. But both XL and XY were connected to water now and also by bug. The bug in XY heart had connection with XL one..in which he was able to save her last time. The look of it is that of the mermaid waiting or calling for merman just as XY might be calling for XL. But the merman had the look of cold and seemed like in another world.
Now if Xiao Yao had any blushing or heartbeat (without have shocking) ..feeling sweet...as she was to Jing...or if we see all her lovesickness occur during absent of XL.. (her reaction to XL death is not lovesickness but regret grief&desvasting) ...I would have taken it something romantic message.
What its look like may not be what it is (the mer couple is fantasy like). Because XY and XL were never really a couple.. the message is hidden under it.. XY is being alone in her clam shell, she is indeed needing cure of her heart . she was calling to the merman (whom she consider her own species) is looked as he's in another world.
I have tried so many romantic analysis on this one. But when found with many factors and what is happening..it doesnt make sense. Because XY only think of XL when she feels down mostly and when she got married thought he could be well off too. Because without him she could be happy with Jing, ..without Jing she could not be happy . Without XL, XY can be happy with Jing.
And that fairytale like crystal is never romantic as many Yaojing love scene or heartbeat...because it is actually a help calling message that XL had fulfilled for her in the end.
