[SPOILER] Doubt about lore
>!I was recently reminescing about the lore of the game and how all started for our hearthian.!<
>!I understood that we are starting the game on the 9000+th time the sun goes supernova, where the 1st one is the one that powered on all the nomai structures and devices, and this one is the one where the gravitational cannon launches a probe that actually finds the eye, sending back the signal to activate the nomai statues and start the loop.!<
>!Now, what I don't get is:!<
>!1) if the 22 minutes before nova start at the bonfire, why does the museum statue only activate when we get back from Hornfels and not while we're still at the fire at the start of the cycle?!<
>!2) by what I understood, the statues link with a living being, record everything they experience, send the data to the main server on Ash Twin. When the nova triggers the loop, ATP sends the data in the past to the main server that updates the statues, that updates the brains of the linked creatures. If this is correct, how is the link with the creature mantained going back in time? I mean, after the first loop we experience the statue should be unlinked like the first time we saw it (i.e. with closed eyes), shouldn't it? I believe this is a trivial question that can just be answered with "weird nomai tech magic".!<
>!On this regard, from the not-looping-hearthians' point of view, do the eyes of the statue open when we wake up at the bonfire or it's like they were always open (can't remember if they give clues about this in the dialogues)?!<
>!3) when the statue activates why does it react with us and not with the first hearthian that passes by? I seem to remember that there was one near the statue the whole time but I may be wrong and maybe we are indeed the first that passes by.!<
>!Since every aspect of this game is so thoroughly detaild and well designed I believe there is a logical explaination for these doubts aswell.!<
