I'd like to disagree. He does not separate the two. ahe has always seen Ian as Brian as we all have read in the very first chapters. However, he does not enforce Brian and his memories on Ian. He allows him to be whoever he is in this life without pressuring him to remember unlike Lorkan who only wants to own him.

I agree with you. I feel like alot of ppl don't appreciate the EFFORT Sol is putting into treating Ian as Ian individual. Yes in the beginning he was adamant about Ian regaining his memories for pete's sake his whole kingdom who remembered Brian wanted Ian to remember and that's not wrong to feel, but I believe he's changed or is changing his prospective and that's he sees Ian separately from Brian. Also in my opinion there's nothing wrong with seeing Brain in Ian sometimes they are the same soul afterall.
sol lowkey pisses me off more so i don't even know i like the cardinal's approach to ian more....
