Liaschizo parodier here. Why do people ask why Henri Ikari just can’t move on, let go of Pipkin Pippa? Why does Henri still continues to reach out to her, even promising “a billion alts”? Because the fact is, Henri had become extremely attached to her, for in her he found a kindred spirit. In the terms of Carl Jung, Pipkin Pippa was the Persona, Henri Ikari was the Shadow. The fact was, THEY ARE THE SAME PERSON.

The persona is the mask we wear when we go out, socialize, or stream. The shadow is our dark side, the manifestation of our worst fears and desires. Everytime we go out, we have to put on our persona, and when we sleep, we fear that the shadow will consume us. So why are Pippa and Henri so linked together?
>They are both autistic and menhera
>They both suffered bullying and depression
>They both have an interest in philosophy
>They experienced loneliness
>And even with success (Pippa’s high CCV and good relations with her parents, Henri’s high grades and wealthy upbringing) they just can’t accept it due to their extreme self-loathing and impostor syndrome.

So why is it that Henri became the archenemy, when he was once Pippa’s most loyal friend?

Again, let us go back to Jung’s concept of the Shadow. When Pippa cried that she was being isolated, Henri went mad. Again the Jungian pattern shows itself again. Pippa tried to maintain her positive persona, but her real personality (the Ego) dominated and she cried. In reaction, the Shadow acted as well in the form of Henri: a violent form at that. He vowed revenge against Fishman and Xalamon for hurting his beloved oshi, while promoting FlaVR, waging war not just on the Phase fandom, but on Phase itself.

And that was when Pippa personally banned him. She mustered the courage to purge the Shadow. But it only made him worse. Separated from Pippa he no longer had any identity. Thus, instead of humble Shinji Ikari, the Shadow took on the identity of the megalomaniac Claude Frollo, bent on being a part of Pippa once again, or let her and everything else burn to hell. Let’s look at “Frollo”’s activities:
>Ranting on Twitter and Facebook? About PIPPA.
>Attempting suicide? The note was addressed to PIPPA.
>Quoting Paradise Lost constantly? Because Jesus is PIPPA.
>Coping with Neuro-sama? To replace PIPPA.
>Teaming up with a notorious zoosadist? An ally against PIPPA.
>Seducing Flakes, Panko, etc.? Hurting her friends will hurt PIPPA.
>Simping for Keffals to destroy Kiwi Farms? To damage Capippalists and therefore PIPPA.

Absolutely everything he does is about PIPPA. If Freud was here right now, he would describe it as like an abandoned child trying to go back to its mother, while having an absolute hatred towards the father figure (the Fishman). A Catholic theologian like Pope Francis can view this as a case of Eternal Separation: the worst pain of Hell is not the fire, but from being abandoned forever from the light and love of God.

In conclusion, Henri is ultimately an extension of Pippa’s psyche.
