@aranyaphoenix @Lillyisweird16 His pupil also looks diluted when it reacts to his excitement. Can really see the difference in the idol card pic.

[Rena Shirow @renashirow]

@sylusloveletter How he says in Abyssal Chaos "for some the two sides of a coin lead to the same fate." And he looked sad. He's already showing signs of the curse in the main story 😭 Or telling her in MO to seize the moment instead of waiting for the flowers to wilt.

[Rena Shirow @renashirow]

@inefabIemente That and with how he had to drink alcohol at the beginning. Maybe he wants his soul part back too? Makes me wonder about the "I will keep you bound to me for all of eternity." Just with how he worded it. He said it softly but why not "we're bound to each other" or something.

[Rena Shirow @renashirow]

@actualcannibal I didn't either tbh. I just googled "weight of a soul" and the 21 grams came up with information about it. Love the attention to details like that.

[Rena Shirow @renashirow]

@mt3xr1 I didn't want to come off as mean for correcting it, but I thought it was important that their soul bond wasn't forced on him by her. 🤗

[Rena Shirow @renashirow]

@mt3xr1 They shared half of their soul with each other when they made the bond/promise with one another, not sorc MC's curse. That was a mutual decision.

[Rena Shirow @renashirow]

@actualcannibal @mt3xr1 @seraphicsylus It's not related to LaDS. 21 grams of weight for the soul is from a concept experiment some doctor did, who claimed that was the amount of weight that was lost at the moment of death. It just popularized in media like movies, Manga etc.

@king_oceann He also reflects on them growing up separately during his birthday card when he mentioned that she was "taken to another garden" but still ended up blossoming beautifully.

[Rena Shirow @renashirow]

@king_oceann Sylus' anecdote clarifies this a lot, that he didn't grow up on earth with her because he got there during the Chronorift Catastrophe after finding MC's location with the eye of aether. Then traveled to earth and freed her from Ever.

[Rena Shirow @renashirow]

@Asta_LA1314 @king_oceann MC also reflects on this during the Zayne part of the new main story. She thinks about the fact that she doesn't belong in this world. (Cause she isn't from there.)

[Rena Shirow @renashirow]

@DATVRAS His branch foreshadowing? Aren't those always a bit...angsty?

[Rena Shirow @renashirow]

Then hell breaking lose in Linkon, even Xavier said it wouldn't be safe soon. And the end reads as someone from Ever confronting her with the "Miss Hunter" line.

[Rena Shirow @renashirow]

@moondregs06 The first 2 read like she's going back to the Gaia lab from her childhood, possibly finding old files/recordings. That quote about subject 001 reads to me like something that was said to her as a kid when she resurrected after they killed her.

[Rena Shirow @renashirow]

@sylusgon Setting up his branch, maybe? 🥲 oh no...

[Rena Shirow @renashirow]

@fangruneen Think it might just be MC finding out the truth about her childhood and the experiments. They seem to go back to the old Gaia lab and find some old data/recordings? That quoted line on Sylus' side sounds like something that was said after she resurrected as a kid. Idk.

[Rena Shirow @renashirow]

@OneEyeRedd Sounds like MC will definitely get ahold of some old data from her childhood and the experiments. Looks like a line from a recording after her resurrection? Wonder what that will do to her mentally 🤔

[Rena Shirow @renashirow]

@axebabyy World Underneath -> Sealed In Dust

[Rena Shirow @renashirow]

@sysblvd Reminds me of his Continuous Symphony card and how he seemed genuinely touched that she "remembered" their song, like a whisper engraved in her soul, even if she herself couldn't remember the memory itself. I think that gave him hope that she's truly still the same.

[Rena Shirow @renashirow]

@InsertUser23227 Would also explain what he says at the end. About it feeling familiar to her, that she yearns for and that it holds her "true nature."

[Rena Shirow @renashirow]

@fangruneen Maybe her death isnt on the table. Yet. But maybe her being kidnapped? It sparking a full-on war breaking out with Ever cause Sylus going on a rampage to get her back? Maybe him ending up getting caught or something. Whatever it is, I smell pain 😭
