Lantarna Family
I'm pleased that Roman has so much story relevance! Usually, male characters in Atelier are rare and often do not have this many interactions (aside from protagonists). Roman (or Richard) however, appears quite frequently and also gets relevant from Chapter 2 onwards.
Him being the secret prince of Lantarna gets quite important a bunch of times, even though like other royals in Atelier he tends to be elusive and seeks to be an adventurer instead.
Roman seems like an airhead, with a love for magic tricks and based on Iksels description he is reliable and likes to help (especially undercover). He also seems to have a bad orientation, though he's probably not aware of it himself. Initially he is quite suspicious as he watches Resna and Co. from afar to gauge what kind of alchemist Resna is.
Even worse, he gets overly friendly after they meet. It seems that he is not aware that his actions can make him appear creepy and plotting - maybe that's also because he is a prince and people usually don't make him aware of it. Especially Marion gives him the stink eye and openly mistrusts him, deciding to watch him closely before leaving him alone with Resna.
The latter in comparison is quick to warm up to him, because Resna firmly believes that everyone that loves alchemy cannot possibly be bad. Since Roman also shares her dream of wanting to see world's end they become kindred spirits and Roman becomes a frequent companion for the party.
Once Juna - his knight of the Knights of the Midnight Sun - starts searching for him it is revealed that Roman is actually Richard Lantarna, a prince of the kingdom of Lantarna. Though from then on Roman is more tied to the kingdom he still finds way to support Resna on her journey. He has an open ear on what is going on and keeps up with what might have happened to Resna and even sends Juna to watch over the group promising he would stay in the kingdom as a deal (though under a lot of lamentations that he would like to join himself😂).
Though we do not know much about the Lantarna family overall they keep on getting mentioned and seem to gain relevance as the story progresses.
Roman helps the kingdom with a snow monster, helps with reparations, he comes up with a fortress strategy against the Apexi with his knights and the Lantarna family seems to be affilliated with a man that is not as nice as he appears according to Lara's point of view.
So with a family that keeps on getting mentioned in the plot, while not outwardly showing too much about them either and the enemies joining Resnas party over time it makes you wonder. When Crow gets imprisoned in the Lantarna dungeon the place rightfully feels a bit eerie and possibly it could be revisited in the future.
Is there possibly more to the Lantarnas? Are the true enemies possibly not the Apexi? Is the Lantarna family maybe somehow involved in the creation of the Apexi or perhaps even why Alchemy has been frowned upon?
if so, it's ironic that Roman is so much of a fan of alchemy and does a lot to bring it back to it's former glory.
We do not know a lot about the rest of the family. I might have forgotten about it, but currently I'm unsure if Roman even has parents. The recent chapter however gave us a bit more information on his siblings. At first i thought Roman just had an older brother, but apparently he even has three siblings!
Orpheus, older brother that excels in politics
???, older sister that excels in warfare
Roman, an alchemy enthusiast that excels in ??? (Maybe charisma and negotiations?)
???, younger brother that excels in arts and designs costumes
Given that they even give us more insights on them, it's possible that they really get relevant later on. And since it's Atelier especially his older sister might be interesting.
Sadly last time Roman talked to Orpheus he didn't have a model in the game, but i'm very curious how they all look like!
However if I am correct about the Lantarnas, where would that leave Roman if he finds out about it? Or would he already have been aware of what has been going on in his family? Would he side with Resna or with his family?
Roman himself can be shady too when he infiltrates the Moonlight Society, is good at coming up with strategies and has a (playfully) cunning side as well. Even though sometimes appearing oblivious he seems to have a good read on other people.
Even in his profile they throw shade at him 😂 Usually you would think it's just because he hid being a prince but maybe there's more.
But would that really give him the potential to be a villain or is it more likely that he will be stuck in the middle?
Roman more often than not has been concerned about Resna and her party, and lent a hand whenever he could, or even used Juna to keep them safe (like in the snow region, the jungle of Yuggel or also on the beach from lecherous guys). Of course supporting Resnas party is also beneficial for the kingdom and helps with dealing with the Polar Night Alchemists, but I believe Roman genuinely wants to be friends and to join them.
One way or another Roman would suffer from having to choose if it came to a conflict and it would work quite well because he has been given depth over the chapters as well. Maybe the endgame could be Roman owning up for the flaws of the kingdom and with the help of Resna bridging the gap to the alchemists that have been wronged over time, which would be the best outcome :D I wonder what role his best friend Brad will play in the story as well!
Usually Atelier has more of a lighthearted story but the recent entries are a tad bit darker and go beyond just slice of life, and all these hints and nudges just make me very curious how it will play out. I'm very curious how Red Alchemist and White Guardian will tie into the lore as well!!

I keep asking for support and kind words, and I really could use them right now. That said, I am stressed and can't focus on writing, so... I'm going to focus on saying some kind things about some of you. I won't get everyone here, but that doesn't mean that if you aren't mentioned, you don't deserve kind words your way. @yume-x-hanabi You have been such a great friend for so many years, and I love hearing your happy rambles about any fandom you're in - Stranger, Kanbee, GaiWin (Xillia, but mostly GaiWin), TSV, etc. You're always fun to talk to. I love your Missy photos. She would not love me, but she has my love anyway. :P @twocatstailoring You're such a good friend to me, and I love talking to you. I know you're often very busy, and you have your own stresses right now (I am sending you all the good vibes and wishing I could help), but I'm glad you take some time for yourself to write fics for your favorite ships. :D @latte-cosmico You're a brilliant artist, and I love being able to see little glimpses of your work when you feel like sharing them. You're one of the sweetest people I know, and the world is blessed to have you in it. Franklin is a precious boy. Oh, and your looming. Oh my gosh! And it's always fun to chat with you about fandom. :D @foxs-howl I have not had spoons to reply, but thank you for all your comments on Seasons lately. They help during these hard times to read them. Makes me remember what I love doing, even though I can't write atm. And while you haven't shared your writing yet, I'm so glad to hear you're writing again. It makes me smile when you tell me about the kids you work with or things that you do as a teacher. It gives me such faith that we can improve the world, a little at a time, in such important ways. <3 @squidlykitten ARTIST FRIEND! I miss you, I miss hanging out with you. You are so talented as a writer, an artist... I feel like there isn't an art you don't just make your own in a way that's fabulous and distinct and perfect. You are such a cool person to hang out with too. I'm so glad I met someone on this hellsite that actually lived close enough to meet up with sometimes! I'm really happy that happened. Okay, I want to say more to others, but I'll stop here for now. <3
#I hate that I need a break but also tumblr doesn't like when I make long posts so I have to break them up#or just make a bunch of short ones#in this case it'll be the latter

alright here's my current tales of protagonist rankings.
Can't get more based than Yuri, the guy with highest ship potential, sick sounding VA, sick moves, king of witty remarks, backflips and RESOUNDING CRY OF VICTORY in his victory quotes, adopted a dog with his boyfriend... yeah
Ludger's comedic potential hits the roofs. Hit me with that 'I'm not wearing clothes in my Chromatus outfit' and Nova confession to Julius reveal shocked sprite. His design is amazing I love the tie and suspenders and the black highlights because his dumb ass thought it would look cool. Loves to backflip, especially in that one skit to distract Jude. Unfortunately he's placed into a world where he has to dating sim the Xillia 1 cast lmao like a separate game for the Xillia 1 epilogue and his story would have been better (though his story sure has fillers with the Waymarker collections...). You know what, his story could have been a gacha game. Isn't it literally FGO?
Jude lives in an unfortunate world where he, as an illegally practising doctor without a medical license, is 15. HOW. I swear he's at least mentally 18. Immediate simpery for this girl he just met with an incredibly thin waistline aside, he really said THESE HANDS and went to punch the living daylights out of god. Also the way he trusts Alvin when Alvin spends every 5 minutes betraying them is so fucking funny like yeah he sure would hook up with a guy like Alvin. Also he hits on everyone. He's the harem king. Milla, Elize, Leia, Muzet, Aska, Ludger, he has them all.
Idk what you're talking about if you don't say Lloyd isn't cool. Man wields two swords in battle because he thinks they have twice the power and renders Kratos (the GOAT) speechless, flips his swords up and down in his victory pose, dude tries to feed a grandma and gets kicked out of the village because of it, the tries to scam Colette into giving her hot/cold/hot coffee, etc. etc...
Luke gets the most points for having the most memorable scenes. 'It's not my fault!' 'I don't want to die!' 'Now is all I have' like bro how could you not hug him and tell him it's alright? His personal struggle as a clone and how he grows to face Asch is the most fascinating thing to see in Abyss. (Also Tear is a jerk and Natalia is mid and Anise shouldn't exist and Ion fucking sucks and Guy and Jade are GOATS...)
Sorey is just a regular guy. Just a good guy. Really outstanding pure vessel. Go save the world, with your boyfriend and your other ghost friends, boy.
Unnaturally thin waist aside, Milla is a character that sets out to do what she has to do and doesn't look back, and as the unwavering pillar of the cast she does her job perfectly. But like that's all you can say about her.
Velvet is edgy and her whole character arc is about making you feel sorry for her and wanting to hug her 👍 I haven't finished playing the game but that's the vibes I got. At least she did what she set out to do, which is to kill the inheritor of Savage Wolf Fury.
#i love ludger. i love jude. but xillia's story really is something lmao#troofless stuff#troofless plays games

Tales of Graces
So I definitely did not vibe with this game, sadly. It was enjoyable, because it's tales, but it just had... too many things that irked me, I suppose? Still, at times, it was very soft.
To start off with, Asbel’s father. Like, I really hate the “But he was a good man” bit. Like, I don’t fucking care? He’s a good man, great, but that doesn’t excuse him being an absolutely awful father who couldn’t bother to try/learn to talk to or learn about his sons? I’d be fine if they like, actually addressed the latter bits as well as the ‘good man’ thing, because mixed feelings would definitely be a thing, but they never bother with his faults, of course. I dunno, the trope just really bothered me in this game, and Asbel just completely giving up his dream to become the Lord of Lhant didn’t sit right with me either.
The sheer amount of hetero-normality in this game was off the charts too. Normally a het main couple doesn’t bother me, but this one did, mostly because I felt like many of the characters were very... underdeveloped in this game. Or entirely subtexted. I dunno, Cheria I felt deserved much better than the game writers gave her. And I’m still not sure how someone can look at Pascal and not realize she’s 100% disaster lesbian. Then the whole oh, Sophie’s going to be Asbel’s adoptive daughter now thing was just... seriously fucked up. I don’t even know where to begin with that one.
It was like, oh, we didn’t push Asbel/Cheria enough in the original game and so we have to no-romo Sophie and Asbel for whatever reason?
The game was really, really soft when it focused on the Asbel/Richard/Sophie friendship. Like, I would seriously die to protect that friendship. It really should have been more of the main focus (which it was and it wasn’t at various times). Honestly, the game focusing on bonds of friendship over pushing romance would have been much, much better. Honestly, I don’t think I’ve really shipped a het canon couple in Tales since Eternia I’ve generally liked the games that just, subtexted that entirely better.
As for the characters, Asbel doesn’t really smile much, for a protag, and they don’t give him a general reason to be unsmile-y all the time? Like, I think they tried to make him just more serious as an adult, but the Tales silliness was still there and clashed with that. Sophie, on the other hand, was Smol and Will Protect. I love her. Drama King was fun as well, and Captain Malik ended up being a fave just because he meddled in fucking everything. If only the game hadn’t gone so completely het, it’d have been great. And just Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamdaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa at the end, saying Sophie was his friend. I needed so much more of that.
The fighting system was also... not my fave. Like later games I guess more stream lined it (it might be my same problem with the fighting system of Symphonia, that I just got used to later versions and going back to the first attempt at the system didn’t mesh well). There were times I had absolutely no idea where my playable character was, which kind of detracted from game play. Like, is he right next to the boss? Some where off to the side? Fuck if I know. Actually having to search for yourself on the battle field was not a good thing for me.
The humor of it was also not quite my cup of tea, not going to lie, so that probably didn’t help. I dunno. Graces just didn’t vibe with me very well, though I enjoyed playing it. Usually I’ll jump into a new game plus with Tales, but I was kind of just like... FINISH NOW, XILLIA SOON towards the end, so I’ll probably start of Xillia. I was more looking forward to that one anyway, starting with Graces mostly because it came first.
Over all, I enjoyed the game, but it’s definitely joining Symphonia at the bottom of my list of Tales titles, sadly. I’ll give it ten years or so and come back to it like I plan to with Symphonia, and maybe then I’ll like it better. For now though, I think I might just jump into Xillia.

The Tales series if you haven't gotten it already
Favorite character:
Undeniably goes to Yuri and Velvet. What can I say? I’m into the dark-haired protagonists that ‘aren’t like the others.’ I can get onboard with why they come to the conclusions they do even if I don’t think it’s write. With Yuri, I admire the ability to do when others cannot. And can’t deny, he made me laugh the most with his sense of sarcasm and panache. Plus that voice...Troy Baker, they did you dirty. Meanwhile with Velvet I was like ‘yes, let’s be married in this quaint little town together’ in the beginning. She was just cute. Then it became attraction of ‘I don’t give a damn what happens to this world so long as I get what I want’ and ferocity.
Least Favorite character:
Emeraude. Like what the fuck is your problem lady? You’re getting jealous of a child. Your feelings towards someone should be directed towards that person, not abusing some third-party that doesn’t even understand what you two have going on.
Cumore. Fuck him too. For a side character that you don’t even really fight, he’s a real ass that his death was catharsis. Pure catharsis. There was no a single moment that he showed any redemption. He was a cruel bastard that held no regard for human life. He was willing to make excuses for anyone under him to get in trouble. He lied to people to enslave them and work them to death. He dragged people into the desert to look for an impossible item and left them without resources to die. Fuck him so much. He might’ve been cartoonishly evil compared to some not nice guys but those actions translate to atrocities.
5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon):
Selfish Coexistence (Basically the Berseria Party) - Their relationships seem so hard to define to me as they all use each other for various reasons. They also seem to develop care through their selfishness and all of the either are like *shrug* guess we’re doing this now or ‘what is this I’m feeling?’ ‘emotions?’ ‘disgusting.’ There’s an understood protection amongst all of them and then a fierce rationalization for their action rather than saying ‘because I like you okay!’ They’re very smart yet they’re all dumbasses and I love them all.
Ludju - You know what’s better than one adorkable dumbass? Two adorkable dumbasses. I like Ludger and Jude’s relation better than any I have unlocked during the story. Jude by nature is very caring but it just is different with Ludger? Main thing I can note is that Jude touches Ludger a lot. Like a firm, ‘I’m right here’ shoulder touch. A nudge in the arm. Catching when about to faint. And I just don’t see Jude do the same with anyone in his party in either game. I just find their interactions from the extra scenes are really cute.
Velvet/Niko - “If you were a boy, I think I’d be in love.” Gurl she don’t have to be a boy to kiss fall in love. Shipping a Main Character with an NPC? Is it madness? Absolutely. But I had feelings about that from the very beginning. Like this could’ve been so fucking sweet. Could’ve had it all. And then the Advent happened.
Alvin/Presa - Oh man. Ooooh man. This was just a curiosity on the way of Tale’s of Xillia’s path. Like it was a lady that lent to Alvin’s skeevy or ladykiller vibe he gave off. And it was like was she just a jilted one-time or something else? And the answer seemed like ‘something else’ but didn’t know what. It was a little ‘wonder how that went...’ Then you do Tales of Xillia 2 and I thought I was wrecked. Because it reframes so much of their interaction to a really sad relationship that fell apart because Alvin was a coward.
Flynn/Yuri/Judith - Haha! Didn’t expect the end part of this one did you? I think everyone knew I liked Fluri. Like their dynamics are so interesting. But I really do enjoy Judy being involved. I’m really sad that Judy and Flynn don’t get much interaction even in the PS3 version but I don’t find it hard for them to get along. But I do usually see that more times it’s Flynn and Judy dating Yuri and their relationship changes over time. They can scrap together, they can travel together, and not needing as much talking to get what anyone means. I find it hard to describe this one but I feel it.
Character I find most attractive:
Yuri and Velvet are like the reflexive thoughts. But I actually really also like Jude and Judy. I mean look at this cute little nerd, he’s adorable! And then there’s hot elf lady that she could kick me in the face and I’d thank her. In general you can probably guess my type from those four.
Character I would marry:
Probably Yuri. I’m sorry that this is my answer to so many but he is like my type to a T and it’s just ruined so many standards for me. Like a funny guy that is good at cooking (and has a sweet tooth!) and can go venturing with? What else is there? I mean yeah there’s the hair and voice but that’s like given. But yeah, I’m a basic bitch with that.
Character I would be best friends with:
Eizen, if that’s a bit surprising. Sure he’s a bit of an edgelord but I feel like I’ve never left it so he’s already doing better than I. But I like the idea of sailing on the ship with him there, probably not gonna be able to let me struggle for that long. He’s funny with a dry sense of humor to me and also he’s a low-key nerd that knows a lot of things and likes finding new and interesting things. So yeah.
And as much as I give shit about him, I actually think I would be friends with Sorey. He’s the kind of excitable that makes others excited and that’s kind of what I do. So we’d kind of excite each other. And so long as it’s not spelunking, I’m down for going exploring.
a random thought:
What defenses occur with the end of blastia? Barriers were what repelled monsters from most of the inhabited areas in Terca Lumireis. Dahngrest and Zaphias look to have fortresses that can hold back most land beasts. But there are other places. What stops the monsters now? Will they go towards more mana based works?
Also, someone also mentioned, does ANYONE know how to do medical work? Like actually patching up injuries? How to care for someone in sickness? Healing artes were what were used! They can’t use blastia anymore! What happens now?
Can there be a history of how things changed from Berseria to Zestiria? Mainly the shifting of how malevolence works from turning people to reflect their sinister nature to straight up monsters with no sense? How the Shepherd thing went to include the malak as much as it does. The change from malak to seraphim. Just...how did we geeeetttttt heeeerrreeeeee.
An unpopular opinion:
I fucking hate that I had to be told from other friends that actually could find the material or read the fucking wiki to understand the dynamics of the Kresnik family. Ludger has a LOT of fucking baggage that we don’t even get to hear anything about! Partially because he’s silent and partially because ‘oh he was young so he conveniently forgot?’ And a lot of it was important to the last half of the story! That’s bullshit! And even further bullshit is that there was no reason they couldn’t have found time to put it in the game but they chose not to.
Tales can’t make a fun last level to save their lives. I haven’t enjoyed a single final level in any of the games I’ve played. I don’t mind doing puzzles for it but straight up spiraling branches full of dead ends is frustrating. ESPECIALLY FUCK XILLIA 2′s! Randomly generated based off those in the party and then you can’t even see when a path is not truly there so you can follow the path and then all of suddenly blank ground, meaning dead end you have back up and retrace another path. And then like Berseria’s made me feel nauseous from the ‘ethereal’ look it was going for. And just made it hard as fuck to see. And more of this awful tower climbing. I just...mmmmmmm, I will probably always enjoy the game until the final level exists. I swear.
My Canon OTP:
Uuuuuuhhhhhh I don’t think I have one.
My Non-canon OTP:
Most protags x happiness?
Most Badass Character:
Don Whitehorse. He was like definition of like ‘stubborn old man’ but man was he cool. He was staunch in the honor of the guilds under his control and was proud of what he and other had built up with their own hands. Also you don’t often see a man willing to sacrifice his life to right a wrong done by his own.
Most Epic Villain:
Gaius. Like me and my friend were like ‘what the fuck’ when we were co-oping Xillia together. Like this was a king that meant business! Mhm. .
Pairing I am not a fan of:
Most of the pairings are fine to me.
Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another):
Sorey. I’m sure I’ve gone on this so many times but I really hated that they kept alluding to him having to make hard decisions but whenever one was brought to him, someone else took it for him. Like if his job is that important and it’s expected to make these choices, THEN LET HIM MAKE THEM. I was so angry over that. I spent the entire game waiting for when they’d do a major point where Sorey had no choice but to step up.
Favourite Friendship:
Alvin & Elize - I really like how much they have both grown from each other. And how when Alvin broke her trust that he had to live with her mistrust and work to earn it back. Their friendship had uneasiness that seemed hopeful at the end of the first game and turned to just banter and teasing by the second. Growth baby, it’s wonderful.
Character I most identify with:
Mmmmm, probably Ludger. Look at all that debt. Can’t do nothing but cry over it.
Character I wish I could be:
Yeah, no. JRPG rules means everyone has some fucked up shit in their past or coming for them. I’m fine over here.

Chimeriad-Relevant Fractured Dimensions
Summaries and staff comments from the ToX2 Official World Guidance Book, pages 48-51.
NO.F4221 (#999969) | Depth: 172 | Deviation: 0.54 | Entry: Mon Highlands
Summary:
A world where one of the Chimeriad, Wingul, is ruling Auj Oule. The reason is that former King Gaius' sister Karla became ill and he wanted to spend her remaining time with her, thus he abdicated the throne. At that time, Wingul asked Karla to convince him not to do that, so she killed herself. Despaired, Gaius disappeared, and Wingul had no choice but to become king. Unable to bear the burden, he isolated himself and violently repressed opponents. There are even rumors that he had the other members of the Chimeriad executed. [Chapter 9 / Waymarker: The Long Dau’s Dust]
Staff Comment:
Our initial idea was one of a world where Wingul was ruling Auj Oule as the Long Dau chief. In that world, he had captured Gaius, his nemesis, and was about to have him publicly executed. He even used Karla to torment him. However, that Gaius could not let go of his royal pride and abandoned his sister. Watching that, prime Gaius would slay both fractured Wingul and fractured Gaius! Gaius is a good character, but if you leave him be, he has a tendency to solve everything by himself, which means trouble for us (laugh). So we gave him a role where he could properly judge Ludger's choices.
NO.F421C (#999964) | Depth: 109 | Deviation: 0.12 | Entry: Bermia Gorge
Summary:
The catalyst is the Hangerzamm, a huge worm-like monster. It's a world where, after the schism was dispelled, a lot of shady Elympions came to Rieze Maxia. They injured the Hangerzamm, who went on a rampage. A girl is anxious about this situation--it's the former "Agria the Shadowless", member of King Gaius of Auj Oule's Chimeriad, also known as lady Nadia L. Travis from the Rashugal Six Houses. In this world, she joined hands with her journalist colleague Leia Rolando to investigate about poaching and wanted to let the world know about the Elympions’ violence. [Leia Episode 2]
Staff Comment:
A world where Leia and Agria are friends. Contrary to the fractured dimension with Nachtigal, this one doesn't have a high deviation, which is tragic. During early production, the idea that Agria actually survived was thrown around, but we settled for this in order to give a concrete example of the possibilities of fractured dimensions. She didn't get much screentime, but didn't she give off the vibe that she was "Agria but not Agria at the same time"?
NO.F422D (#999981) | Depth: 181 | Deviation: 0.81 | Entry: Mon Highlands
Summary:
In this dimension, the previous king of Auj Oule, Melard, is alive. He is a cruel man who is conducting experiments on monsters and creating artificial monsters. Auj Oule and Rashugal are in the middle of a war, but Auj Oule's victory seems close. The catalyst is Otulp [TLN: "Gainea Pigis" in Japanese], a powerful artificial monster created by King Melard. It is thought that this dimension's Gaius, who was working under King Melard, was used to create it. Otulp went out of control and has already killed King Melard. [Gaius Episode 2]
Staff Comment:
Otulp was made from Gaius in that fractured dimension. King Melard's concept was created in Xillia's development as part of Auj Oule's history setting. And now he appears! ...Or not. In the end, his role was stolen by the Chimeriad and Otulp. Well, he probably just looks like some evil old man, so it's no big loss (laugh).
NO.F4235 (#999989) | Depth: 154 | Deviation: 0.13 | Entry: Nia Khera
Summary:
A world where Gaius and the Chimeriad's conflict with Milla Maxwell hasn't been settled yet. Milla's companion, Alvin, is closer to Presa, one of the Chimeriad, than in the prime dimension, and gifts her a ring. That ring is the catalyst. [Alvin Episode 4]
Staff comment:
A fractured dimension where Alvin's dark history repeats itself. To himself from one year ago, he says "Idiot. The line here is, 'I want you to trust me.'". This shows the development of Xillia 2's Alvin. Presa accepts both of them and ends up suffering the same fate as before. How tragic...
NO.F423A (#999994) | Depth: 181 | Deviation: 0.91 | Entry: Sharilton
Summary:
One of the Chimeriad, Jiao the Immovable, is Elize's father in this dimension. Jiao is the Kitarl chief here, which he wasn't in the prime dimension [TLN: he actually was, Staff isn’t getting their facts right here]. An eager young member of the Kitarl tribe, Yurgen, is secretly in league with poachers. There are a lot of differences with the prime dimension. Jiao is the catalyst.
Staff comment:
A world where Elize is Jiao's daughter. Fractured dimensions are just branches of the original history, so if we think about it she'd be his adopted daughter. However, with a depth of 181 and deviation of 0.9, it's possible that he is her actual father here. Deep dimensions have a lot of twists, after all. Anyway, wasn't the truth behind bunnykins shocking?! [Elize Episode 4]
