Nightbringer Lesson 13: Some Thoughts (spoilies)

Okay, first of all... what the actual fuck was this??

"My former brothers"?? DOES THAT MEAN AN ANGEL JUST HELPED US??? WAS IT MICHAEL???

????!!!!

Also, "should you choose to ally yourself with Nightbringer..." First of all, Mx Mysterious Angel Person, We didn't ally with anyone. We have gotten absolutely no choice in any of this so far. The Celestial Realm is going to get its panties in a bunch over something we haven't even done 😭

Second, the fact that the Celestial realm wouldn't look kindly on allying with Nightbringer DEFINITELY tells us Nightbringer is 100% demon. I don't think they'd care so much about a human sorcerer (not that I ever suspected Solomon but you see my point). It also tells us Nightbringer is notable enough to draw the attention AND ire of the Celestial realm. Who is this person and why does the Celestial realm dislike them so much? Barbatos what did you do

Third, "tolerate your behavior"???? Bitch we didn't do anything 😭😭😭 It makes it sound like the Celestial realm is already not happy with us but we are a pawn in all of this 😭😭 Shouldn't they know that? Or do they know and just not care??? Are we retroactively responsible? Agreeing to all this somewhere down the road and just not aware of it yet??? What did we doo?

Okay so obviously the convo might have gone different if you picked the other option, but Solomon says "Someone teleported you here, right?" And it makes a point of Barbatos' silence on the issue. Why would it do that unless he knew something??? There's a lot of theories that say Barbatos IS Nightbringer and tbh I'm in that boat too, but even if he isn't I'm willing to bet all my remaining Grimm that he at least knows wtf is going on. Who Nightbringer is and that we're from the future. BET. BARBATOS KNOWS SOMETHING.

In connection with my last thought, as Diavolo is talking about sending us back to the human world he starts getting frustrated and is refusing to listen to arguments. Diavolo is admittedly 100% correct in where he stands. We are a threat to the Devildom and his tenuous reign on things right now. He doesn't know us well enough to confidently say otherwise and he really can't risk it right now.

But before he can actually make a decision and say we have to go back, Barbatos cuts in and suggests stepping away to give Diavolo a chance to calm down and reconsider. Barbatos has made it clear he wants us to stay in the Devildom for some reason and it really feels like he's doing whatever it takes to keep it that way.

He knows something. I swear he does. I'm watching you turquoise demon man. I'm watching you.

Also could someone explain how we actually got the ring? Maybe I missed something near the start or I just haven't progressed far enough in the OG game but it feels like that was an answer we were actually supposed to know and I was like ??? I have Lucifer's Ring Of Light??? Neat???
