@SuperSnekFriend @synapsid @Awoo @mikuphile @Elliptica @WashedOutGundamPilot The giant dino hand that smashed the mobile city they were based in was like a giant reset-button smash for the plot.

I let it go because I was playing Fallout NV at the time and was feeling very "let it ride", but I hated what they did with Hiro and Zero Two. The literal soul mates loophole is nonsense because their experience together is what made them in love in the first place. Reincarnating and meeting again, without those memories, doesn't give the new relationship the significance that the original had.

Ship of Theseus spiritual continuation argument does not apply to love, not if they lost their memories.
