cyclical narratives

In the Psycheverse

Trix uses cyclical narratives, particularly from sources like Baital Pachisi, as frameworks for examining how patterns of betrayal, deception, and moral ambiguity repeat across different contexts and characters. The king's cursed loop of carrying the sprite mirrors the show's interest in how spiritual journeys involve returning to the same questions in deeper forms rather than escaping them entirely.
