How can Salem be considered whole when the entire plot now revolves around her separation from death? You aren't even half a person without that. Is it just a touch of irony?

The most fundemental concept of alchemy and witchcraft is that things have to get worse before they get better; to fall apart before it can come together again in a new way.

Grape juice is a very pleasant and sweet drink, but it's not nearly so lucerative and special as wine. But in order to turn grape juice into wine you have to make it undergoe a process wherein instead of immidiatly becoming subtler and more complex in it's flavor, like the wine, it actually becomes rather sickly. Just plain old smell gone off grape juice. It isn't untill much later that a curious transmituation occurs and something much lovlier than what was put in emerges.

Red like roses.

The gods had no intention to remain on Remnant forever, so they contrived to cultivate mankind into something that was fit to govern itself. The whole thing right back to Ozma's death and Salem's betrayal was one great big contrivance. An alchemical recipe dramatized as a fall.

The emerging 結晶 of man's 進化 are semblance; a kind of magic the gods themselves could never have conveived of. Merge these new energies together and further evolution takes place.

As the final culmination of this process stand the silver eyed warriors. But even among them, fate has ordered a vicious selection process, scrubbing out the imperfections until only one remains.

The being that transcends the opposites and will remake the gods themselves. Whole once again.
