whatever d.e.e.p did to rapi and red hood goes beyond a simple fusion of core or nimph
but during OZ the gold particles were used to symbolize the soul of the fallen rikkers, but that was the nimph actually
if we follow that idea, the fusion of rapi and rh was not between the cores, but the soul itself
idk how can you explain that with nanomachines but the idea is there
that's why Leviathan, when she used the dark matter (which can also interact with nimph as we saw it in Mudfish) was not only able to see RH but also get punched by her

if symbiosis was D.E.E.P goal, maybe they wanted to combine the soul of both humanity and raptures. To avoid the complete annihilation of both
hmmm...
