There is familial love between High Blade Xenocrates and Esme, as Xenocrates is blackmailed into changing the future of the Scythehood (and also into embarrassing himself) to save her life.
She is deeply hurt by killing Ben in her final apprentice test, because she knows that neither of them will ever forget that pain, even though he'll survive. Both couples sublimate their love in favor of the larger picture: Faraday and Curie remain friends and allies, many decades after their affair, working together to improve the Scythedom Rowan and Citra consider each other from afar, until Citra makes it possible for him to escape-even after his escape, they can't contact each other as Scythe Anastasia and Scythe Lucifer.Ĭitra experiences familial love, though her parents essentially ask her to become a scythe so that her younger brother, Ben, will have immunity from gleaning. Rowan and Citra feel romantic (or at least very intimate) love for each other, and Scythes Faraday and Curie were lovers once, despite this being a violation of the scythe code.
Underneath nearly every scene and decision in Scythe is the theme of love: whom do we love, and how? What do we love, and why? What will we give up to protect what or whom we love?
