>The "cycle" it describes is the flame starting to flame, humans starting to become cursed, they gather to the flame out of irrational compulsion, and eventually someone links it. The alternate ending of DS2 is your character realizing that they are only here due to this parasitic psychic bond and just fucking off to let someone else do it.
Which is also wrong as Dark Souls 2 doesn't understand that Gwyn caused the Curse of the Undead, and rather believes that is innate of every human and hollows the true form with the current one a fleeting facade. That's again fanfiction that misses the point of the Darksign and Gwyn ENFORCING humanity's bond with the Flame.
>This narrative is continued in 3, in which this cycle of the flame being relinked over and over has depleted the world of its vitality.
Lol funny way of saying nothing happens in 2
>You just ignore the flame and fuck off, rather than sacrificing yourself to it or trying to harness or destroy it.
No, that was the Walk Away ending that already existed. You are trying to conflate that with Aldia to justify how barebones and poor the lore about Aldia and everything about his goals is, in spite of him costantly barking nonsense at the player
>No, the profamed flame was just a second, shittier version of chaos, another failure on the pile.
No, the Profaned Flame is an unending flame created from the Abyss, with the witches that created it turning into creatures resembling the Hand of Manus and Sulyvahn, having Imbued himself with it, having the ability to turn into pure roots of darkness while keeping his sanity. Because when the curse is imbued in the Flame, then it becomes a blessing. Hollows don't go mad as their soul is linked to a now unending flame. This is why the pilgims are on a martyrdom to accumulate curse and provide the 6 sigils to seal the uncontrollable Profaned Flame. Of course, you retard wouldn't know that, you are a lorelet the believes Dark Souls 2 has a good story.
