So... was this the star all along?
The poses look very familiar. Perhaps the star is core of the Hive lord hollow? Also wonder what it's tears mean, and the fact that even Sunbringer cannot heal it

>!I’m sorry, Zhe/Ling... regarding my identity... and the matter of the Hollow Messenger... I must have... scared you. Well... if I said I hadn't, I’d be lying to you... Heh, yeah... anyone would be scared. Not just you—Clarae, Roxy, Sigrid, and even... Roskellifa—everyone in New Eridu, for that matter. No one would want to believe that the Lady of Dawn—the one who dispelled the Nest-Lord Hollow, the one who wrought countless miracles, the one who still watches over Roskellifa to this day... No one would want to believe that she... was a Hollow-born entity from the very start; that she was... a Hollow Messenger of the Nest-Lord Hollow all along. ...... The original Lady of Dawn... she knew from the very beginning just how many problems would arise if her true identity were exposed. Not just for herself, but for the entire Helios Organization, and... for all of Old Eridu. So, she deceived everyone with a lie—the lie of the "Intelligent Construct"—a lie that the three of us... have upheld to this day. So, the original Lady of Dawn... Yeah, she wasn't an Intelligent Construct at all. Elda, Little Dre, and I... our very existence didn't rely on Intelligent Construct technology, but rather on... The unique power possessed by the "Lady of Dawn" in her role as a Hollow Messenger—the power of Source-Matter Reconstruction.!<
Perhaps we'd get to play as her in 3.4 but her banner in 3.5 (like it was with Ye Shunguang), but i might be wrong. But of course, take sus leaks from telegram with a grain of salt
She's got that dawg inside of her, especially in the last pic
Looks like 3.2 story will have a lot of Lindverne. And the fact that she's getting a skin and was mentioned in the recent survey, all three are playable?
Altough not confirmed, these dummies from Sigrid's teaser look kinda like all 3 Sunbringers. The one Sigrid fights is Eldreda like (spear sword, horns, similar outfit), the one on the right is Lindverne like (we can look at it the least, but it has Lindverne's weapon), and the last one is Dracaene like (shield).
With the amount this suit appears in memes and media, i legit thought Commandant would wear it earlier or was wearing it during battles but just now shown. Surprised that it's first appearance is only in CW chapter
Personally, i love her even more. Didn't expect her to be sooo goofy (fan of Mr Roar, loving 100+ yo movie Remielle loves too, having an intuition that can barely count as an intuition) lol but its such a nice detail. And we'd probably see even more of that once her trailer and demo are out. Also funny detail, when Lindverne was shown many people (including me) headcannoned she'd have like 1 braincell, but she turned out to be pretty composed, just going through her rebellious stage lol.
So, the animated short just dropped and it was peak. Answered some questiong and created even more new ones. After some thoughts, i've decided to make a little theory about Remielle, how she was pressumed death for 100+ years and how she came back. Also, i'm not great at theories and english is not my native language, so there might be incosistences and mistakes in my text
To start off, we already knew that Arche established Helios academy, and both Sunbringer and Remielle been involved with it. Helios is known for experiments with kids, but its probably not only thing they specialized in.
Remielle was mentioning that "if this works... humanity will be one step closer to conquering the Hollows" which was followed by Vike participating in the experiment, and almost becoming an Enchainer. Then of course, Remielle fights and defeats Vike. But during the battle, Remielle says "Arche, Sunbringer... What have you all been hiding?"
This leads me to think that experiment on Vike was conducted by both Arche and Sunbringer, maybe under the Helios academy name. It was supposed to be something revolutinary, that would gain humanity an upper hand in fighting hollows, but failed and humanity lost Vike. Or... it could've been a lie made up by Sunbringer and Arche to convince Remielle and Vike to participate in it. Why? Who the hell knows. Sunbringer has ties to the Creator, maybe she was twisted and doing some very shady business (that's why Eldreda is so depressed in the Remielle's demo, carrying the guilt over OG's actions).
Right after the fight, Sunbringer appears before exhausted Remielle. I think this was the moment when Remielle got sealed in time. Sunbringer could've used Thaumiel on Remielle, then left the Thaumiel in Melinoe Hollow. This theory has a huge crack at this moment, becuase in 2.8, when Remielle said she wanted to be buried in Melinoe Hollow, we couldnt see who she was talking too. Before everyone pressumed it was Vike and that she sealed the weapon, but now we understand that Vike couldn't have done it. To make theory live, lets assune that Sunbringer eavesdropped into this conversation or was actually the one who Remielle was talking to
Anyway, moving onto ending. Remielle is in the same place as were she fought Vike, holding a violet plushie. Then, she is approached by Storyteller and the video ends. What i think might have happened, is that Remielle was brought back by Storyteller. Storyteller is an interesting person, we dont know what she is, what are her motives and what does she even do, but i assume she's a product of the Helios too (but not Truvia), therefore she grow up to have beef with Sunbringer as well. Thats why she looked and unsealed Remielle, hoping to find an ally in investigating Sunbringer. She then quickly explains that Sunbringer split herself and Remielle goes to her demo to investigate Eldreda (and since last thing Remielle saw before getting sealed was Sunbringer, she asks what she asked during her demo)
That's probably it. Reading it all again i think i cooked some bullshit, would be nice to hear your theories instead
Am i tripping or her ears are even bigger than Miaybi's?
Before this chapter, Bambinata felt like a nothing burger to me and i just disliked Vanessa. But after reading through it, damn, glad to change opinions on both of them. Especially Vanessa, her actions are now well, still shitty sometimes, but at least we know what made her become a person she is. Also, her dynamic with Vera is diabolical, need more of that.
And also, was Across the Ruined Sea meant to be anniversary chapter or something? Felt weird when the plot transformed into Kowloong Metropolis 2 electric boogaloo
Why did it have to be this specific pair of numbers
