#Especially because that’s exactly how Lava Lamp identifies himself

HELLO CLOW REED LORE TOO?

Clamp are generous today!

The subtle change in the story from “Even Clow Reed couldn’t do that” to “Even Clow Reed couldn’t COMPLETELY fulfill that wish”. 

The narrative-altering mention of the fact that he partially pulled it off. 

That there was someone he managed to kind of raise from the dead, but not properly and not really. 

And Yuuko’s stonefaced expression as she doesn’t respond to that at all. 

I think we all have a good guess about who it was. 

Meanwhile Lava Lamp is frantically trying to piece together the backstory they’re all talking about over him and OH he’s SO Syaoran about this. 

Oh ALSO

Also also also also

Let’s spread out the picnic blanket and enjoy the view as we consider which of his parents he mentions as being related to Clow Reed

Spoilers for the original Cardcaptor Sakura manga

From the not-quite-completely convincing thread of hints that Clamp keep dangling that Lava Lamp is the son of Cardcaptor Sakura, his reaction here would match Lava Lamp being Clow’s descendant. However - and it’s possible they just didn’t tell him this by age seven - Sakura herself has a much closer and very direct relation to Clow Reed. If he knew about this, it would have been a more relevant thing to remember about Clow Reed. If he was practically your grandfather, you would remember that first. 

So either he doesn’t know or it’s not true. Like all the other holes the story is hinting at, he’s most likely not the son of the Cardcaptors. 

He’s the son of Syaoran, “The Descendant of Clow Reed”. Whichever one that is. (And have we met him? Because it would so unbelievably wild if we had)
