"Reyge shippers are delusional"
Oh you've seen nothing
Here's me being delusional:
Reyna disappeared from Sage's POV right after she risked everything to revive her.
And we don't talk about Skye's email enough: "Can't tell you how relieved we are that you're back on your feet, sir. I'm worried about the cost, though. That took a lot out of her. Probably too much. She okay?"
Which means that Sage revived Brim before she could safely do it. It took a lot out of her.
Tejo is down, Neon is down. They're being attacked. She had to revive Brim before she could actually do it safely. And all because she chose to revive Reyna first.
So what if Sage started feeling guilty about the feeling that caused her to push so close to risking everyone's lives? What if reviving Reyna out of impulse caused Sage to decide to shut Reyna off?
And thus we see Sage whenever the pov is Reyna's, but when it's Sage's, Reyna disappears.
Now it's exactly the same situation that could bring Reyna into Sage's pov again.
Also very important: to claim that Reyna is mad at Viper because of the Sanctuary is just wrong.
In this email it's very clear that she does not connect going with Sage with the attack.
"That is done. Now the place I'm most needed is by her side."
And she connects it clearly: -> Legion is after Sage. I'm after Legion.
Throughout the summit cinematic we see Reyna suffering for seeing Sage in pain, and we see her relieved when Sage is well. The way Reyna feels about Sage is so important that her expression is the only expression outlined in the very first sketch of the cinematic.
The anger we're seeing from Reyna, the irrational anger that makes her risk herself to end Viper alone is not connected to absolutely anything but Sage. Although, I know people will claim this is just who Reyna is - sure, as if we didn't have a tone of lore behind this voice comm and 6 cinematics were Reyna's only function is to care, worry or look at Sage.
"I'll do what I must" could be Reyna seeing Sage growing crystals again after seeing her in so much pain to heal them. The first battle caused Sage to grow new crystals and now Reyna might be wanting to end this before it reaches more agents that Sage needs to heal.
Okay so, first thing.
"Where is she?"
"Sage?"
You can claim this is stupid but wouldn't it be easier to just go with "Where's Viper?" than have Reyna correct her?
Why add that Skye assumed Reyna is looking for Sage?
Also, the last patch voice comms were exactly the same as today's, but with Sage.
Skye is telling both women "don't fuck up"
She's telling Sage not to heal anyone.
She's telling Reyna to not risk herself.
Reyna is claiming she'll do what she must - she'll risk herself.
Sage was very hesitant to promise not to heal anyone.
These voice comms are mirrors and Skye is doing what she can not to let these two kill themselves for love.
"Where is she?"
"Sage?"
Immediately assuming Reyna is looking for Sage
"That's exactly what she wants"
Cool because in the last cinematic the only cenarios where Viper wins is when Reyna is isolated from Sage
"I'll do what I must"
For what? What has Viper done to you personally that has gotten you so irrational, my dear?
Maybe she hurt someone you want to to protect?
By the way, the place you're needed most is by her side please don't go alone
Actually, a more careful analysis:
First attempt, there's just Miks, who's shot, then Sage is shot. Sage loses. No Reyna.
Second attempt, Reyna was killed, Sage is there to revive her. Reyna's body provides cover so Sage can shoot Viper.
Sage wins with Reyna even when Viper tried killing her.
Third attempt, there's no Reyna because Viper raises the wall and sends waylay to ambush Sage. She does not kill Reyna, she isolates her.
Sage loses.
Fourth and final attempt, Reyna is there providing cover so Sage can run to the spike. She's shooting Viper, but Viper does not kill Reyna this time.
Viper repeats the strategy: raises the wall and sends waylay.
But this time she doesn't send waylay where Sage is, she sends where Reyna is. We can see waylay looking at Reyna, her arm is showing in the same frame. Sage the looking behind where the wall separated them.
She loses this one even though Omen was there to help.
Next attempt, Reyna is there with miks and iso. Sage wins.
In every single scenario, Sage loses if Reyna is not by her side.
If you think about it, in one of the scenarios of If the sun burns out tonight, Viper loses because she kills Reyna and Sage revives her. As she's being revived, Reyna is a shield to Sage.
Then the next attempt Viper isolates Reyna from Sage.
"Oh my God reyge shippers will take anything and flip so it means something"
I'm merely describing what happened.

I feel like chekhov's gun is the best way to describe Reyna in this arc.
It's absurd how much they planned for her to be part of.
She has no relevance to the plot, and every other agent has had screen time according to their relevance.
My best guess at the moment is either they learned from mistakes and are not going to make Sage's arc be about her relationship with her, so they are fixing appearances that were initially planned, leaving the current vacuum of Reyna in the story, and plan to continue once Sage's plot is over, or they are mediocre writers.
