Damn, I didn't realize this whole thing with Venat is still a point of contention even now. I'm not getting in between that argument when both sides are slowly getting too personal in their arguments.

That said, I just want to say that I liked the new short story. I found it funny that the whole time, it's like the watcher was falling head over heels in love with Venat but then it got a bit sad when we got to near the end when it hinted at things to come in that story. I really do like that we got a confirmation about Venat's co-conspirators not knowing about what really was happening with meteion and all that (though it seems like they knew that she had a glimpse of the future- interesting none of them pressed her for information) and that they're really more focused at stopping the sacrifices because they believe using zodiark power would essentially halt their progress as a civilisation. Another point I got from it is that chances are, we're gonna see what's in that crystal the watcher held at the end. I do want to know what that "last chapter of cosmological wisdom Venat had sought"...unless it's really just some stuff we've already seen like the celestial leyline thing- sorry, I can't remember the name- and that I'm just overthinking this.
