Did Vegapunk Know About York’s Betrayal? | York’s Actions and Stella’s Desires Section Heading: York’s Actions and Stella’s Desires
York is the embodiment of desire among the seven Vegapunks. She was responsible for fulfilling basic needs like eating, sleeping, and excretion for the group. Given this, it’s likely that York also shares Stella’s desires and wishes. Although these desires are shared among the seven Vegapunks, York’s role is to manage them.
Previously, I suggested that York’s betrayal was driven by desire, and that this desire may have originated from Stella. Stella may have harbored unconscious wishes, such as believing that there should be only one genius, or even desiring to become a Celestial Dragon to further his research. These desires might have influenced York’s actions.
Vegapunk, as a genius, likely faced internal conflicts—wanting to accelerate his research by creating satellites despite wishing to remain the sole genius. He may have also subconsciously wished to see the destructive power of the Mother Flame firsthand, even though he strived for humanity’s peace and progress. These latent desires, if materialized, would manifest through the seven Vegapunks, and in this case, through York.
York might believe her current wishes are her own, but they might stem from Stella’s subconscious desires. When Vegapunk realized the Mother Flame had been stolen, he might have taken full responsibility because he recognized that these desires were rooted in him. York’s shock when revealing her wishes to Vegapunk might have come from the realization that these weren’t just fleeting thoughts, but genuine desires that Stella himself harbored.
