propaganda:

❌️ "Philip is a coward and a bitch"

✅️ "Philip IS a coward and a bitch and this is why I want to smash him. Pathetic whimpering mess of a man"

❌️ "Philip, the kind of guy to assume you're cheating on him with someone else whenever you're not in line of sight, unless I'm here for just a one-and-done...Hell, even if it's just one night I do not want to deal with that kind of baggage. Pass."

❓"philip guy here! smashing philip would be a good idea if it's a one-and-done-and-he'll-cease-existing, dude's pretty hot (heh), but under ANY circumstance wherein he continues existing? bad idea. my man has ALL of the issues, he's gonna be obsessive and think that you two have WAYYY more going on than you really do. he's clearly working through some toxic masculinity stuff and I wouldn't want to smash him during his particular flavor of it. he'd be controlling and envious whether it's a one-night-stand or a relationship, and he'd make himself out to be the victim in scenarios wherein he clearly wrongs you. he's attractive, but a total red flag."

❌️ "Pussy can not fix this man"

✅️"estrogen would've saved her"

nothing is currently known

9: Devyat Association

EDIT: Credit to truboo42, i'm bad at remembering limbus tidbits lol Specialties: Delivery Devyat employs courier fixers to deliver packages around The City, it is assuredly a dangerous job requiring skilled work.

(curious why they never went to The Library, who also claimed to accumulate knowledge. perhaps they didn't want the library to have any of their knowledge?)

11: Öufi Association

nothing is currently known

And that's all, hopefully we'll gain more info later on the associations we haven't seen yet, expect future posts covering the Wings of the World and the Backstreets Syndicates!

Library of Ruina endgame spoilers

I feel like the only reason the Carmen flashbacks in between each phase in the Keter Realization were only put there because there was no other place to put them. The Keter Realization, when you break it down, was Angela's demonstration of The Knowing I. Yes sure, Carmen is the opponent here, but her relevance in the realization comes from her relationship with Angela, not Carmen's character herself. Additionally, Carmen's screen dialogue and the forms she takes are distorted mirrors of Angela, she herself is not traumadumping during battle. She is instead opposing Angela's choice to give up her newfound humanity to release the Seed of Light.

Bloodbath and Snow Queen are heavily associated with Carmen, however in the context of the realization they are attuned to Angela. As Bloodbath represents Carmen's decision to sacrifice herself under the burden of everyone's wishes and Ayin's decision to fulfill hers, it represents the expectations and burden that were put upon Angela. To become Carmen, to be the machine to lead them out of the pits of hell, and to wield freedom of choice to make the right decisions in the end. Her fight against Wrist Cutter represents that while she may be burdened, she still strives to move forward, wielding the true freedom she has and not sinking to despair, for herself and for everyone.

I don't really understand the Heart of Aspiration too well, but the gist is that it represents how a person with big aspirations must have a strong heart to match, lest they be overwhelmed. Carmen, having said to be have a weak heart iirc and she definitely had/has big aspirations, would be the perfect match for the Heart of Aspiration. And yet, the screen dialogue in this fight is about Angela's former aspiration to become a real human to match Carmen's image and memories for Ayin's favor, and about how she at this very moment can stand straight on her own feet with the discretion to live her own life.

Pinnochio is really straight forward. It's literally not related to Carmen at all, its about Angela's trauma with the script and her endeavors to become human. Her fight with Marionette represents her willingness to take responsibility for her own actions so that she may grow to be better and live on so that she may find herself happier next time.

The Snow Queen is again, very Carmen related due to her Lob Corp story log implying that the Snow Queen resonates with Ayin's memories of Carmen in the cryo-coffin, but it also ends with his memories of Angela waking up, his heart frozen in juxtoposition to Angela's inserted memories. Frost Splinter's dialogue involves her laments that she is alone and cold, referencing how the kind heart she woke up to turned out to be cold, and the rest of her life she thought herself to be alone causing her to build a frozen fortress of solitude to protect her own frozen heart. But Angela knows that she is not alone, she has people that she wants to stand with and protect, knowing that everything she's been through truly wasn't meaningless.

Finally, the Silent Girl. While she might be the abnormality one might least expect for the finale, there is no one more qualified. If the realization truly was about Carmen, WhiteNight would serve much better, but as I have explained, it's not about Carmen, is it?

Impuritas Civitatis was the name of Library of Ruina's final chapter. It means Impurity of the City. We do not know much about what the Head considers Impurities, except for one. AI, just like Angela. As has been discussed all this time, this realization is about Angela's resolve to give up her humanity in order to move forward.

Thanks to the imagery present in Meurault's character poster and EGO art, and the whole purification thing in Limbus Company chapter 3, it can be safely assumed that Silent Girl is cogito's representation of N Corp, with her appearance even resonating a sense of purity despite her dangerous intentions. While seeing mechanical prosthetics as a whole as impure may be exclusive to Kromer's group, it shows how far N Corp is willing to condone to uphold "humanity". Even outside of Kromer, they're so strict with taboos that they would consider someone watching a recording of their backstreets as a sign of guilt. What more with Angela, who is an impurity of the entire City, designated by the Head themselves.

Remorse wants Angela to be free. To become human. To finally taste her desires of being free and being human as she always wanted and exact her perfect revenge to those she sees guilty. To escape being an impurity from everyone's eyes, the Head's, Ayin's, everyone's. Angela rebuts this distortion of her desires knowing that by conforming to the Head's arbitrary she would only be continuing the cycle that will eventually crush her rather than having genuine freedom. She won't just take the easy way out despite it being in her grasp, she will embrace the pain, embrace the past. So that she may face the fear, and build her future. Like a true human should.

Also Silent Girl really didn't have any connection to Carmen other than "innocent looking girl that is actually dangerous".

...

So uh back to starting topic, Carmen's interlude cutscenes were pretty weird. It didn't even really give us any actually new lore, it's just stuff we've already known but in her perspective, which is cool but not really substantial. I'm guessing PM just inserted them in since apparently the Keter Realization in this form was no longer supposed to be included but added them back in due to backlash, and to fill in the gaps they added the Carmen interludes which maybe were also originally cancelled. Although then again maybe it was meant to mimic Angela's interludes in the Keter Core Suppression in Lobotomy Corp? Not sure.

Anyways tldr. Keter Realization is not about Carmen herself despite the flashbacks, it's about Angela seeing herself as her own individual and moving forward as herself instead of conforming to her distorted wishes.
