🌊 Rafayel – Giant Kelp and the Ocean’s Cycle In Rafayel’s Bionic Card [Rafayel: Synced Drowning], the grass-like parasite on his chest features rapidly growing, massive stems and leaves, visually resembling giant kelp. Rafayel mentions that his physical defects correspond to a cycle within the marine ecosystem that has already collapsed. 🪸 The Parasite and Its Rapid Growth You have found a way to address the root problem and tested it on Rafayel: medium dialysis and purification to eliminate the foliar parasite on his body. The parasite grows extremely fast, spreading and elongating across his chest even as they speak. 🌿 Giant Kelp and the Collapse of the Marine Ecosystem The plot of the Bionic Card reveals that blockades were imposed on various sea areas. Giant kelp is one of the fastest-growing macroalgae on Earth. In the ecological interpretation presented here, excess nutrients in enclosed waters act as an almost unlimited fertilizer supply, causing its proliferation to spiral completely out of control. Within days, the rapidly spreading algae blankets the upper layers of a large body of water, blocking sunlight and cutting off the possibility of eelgrass recovery – the foundation of the benthic ecosystem. Massive amounts of giant kelp then age, break apart and decay. In these enclosed waters, decomposition occurs rapidly, continuously consuming oxygen and releasing detritus and organic matter. This is why the seawater turns murky gray. 🔄 The Vicious Cycle Eelgrass dies off → Giant kelp overproliferates → The benthic ecosystem deteriorates further. Rafayel serves as a specimen. His body carries this unbalanced cycle, and the algae growing on him is a physical manifestation of the defect. 💧 Medium Dialysis and Purification Medium dialysis is equivalent to filtration – extracting excess nutrients, inhibiting the uncontrolled proliferation of algae and forcibly bringing the unbalanced cycle back toward a stable state. Eliminating the algae attached to Rafayel’s body is therefore not simply removing a visible parasite. It is essentially repairing the root defect of the collapsed marine cycle reflected in his body.
