Revelations from Keynote II

[Lauront]

Just to clarify, do you mean Alexander's plot?

The thing that eludes me about it is the "why" behind the whole plot - as in, why did it all need to happen in the first place? Like the creation of the stable time loop.

All that just makes me wonder how things would differ if the being in question lacked Alexander's limitation of being a primal. Still, I think there's other ways of parsing some of the time-related references which can exclude time travel altogether.

Going back to Minfilia, I have to wonder if what's going on with her is not perhaps rebirth, as opposed to being aged down. So that the body she's reborn in would plausibly look like a younger Minfilia as we know her, but is not really the same, and therefore gives the illusion that the trailer is hinting at time travel. This would align with her retention of the aspect of the Word of the Mother, and may also link into the cover art for ShB, with the DRK holding the luminescent child.

I'm also wondering if the trailer may be hinting at a time skip, given some of the narration.
