All it took... was three individuals to change the tides of the world.

Hello, I'm the same anon who put forth the theory about the Golden Shards not belonging to the Void.

I was thinking, and found a mention of Canon!Caine's costume in your words, and I had a question-theory ripen for a moment:

Could this Man in the Red Coat be Caine's past identity?

-------

I don't think so, but I concede it, but it was also immediately disproved for reasons:

One: Caine's personality was unlikely to have separated from him, since a person's personality is themselves, and puppets in any form only go to the Void when they die.

Two: I have a more reasonable theory, and because of that I put forward a bold comparison:

The Charmer and the Man in the Red Coat are the same person. Do you know why? The identity of the collar, the scarf (or manifold, that cloth piece around his neck, dark turquoise in color) and almost the same face shape.

Now, the messy facts, which I will soon try to organize into a logical chain leading to an explanation of the theory above:

The tight-fitting clothing, especially around the neck, was foreign to Kane, whose features are strikingly similar to The Inventor's. The parallel is drawn.

The Inventor and The Catalyst were close. But The Inventor is strikingly different in the way he wears his clothes from the Man in the Redcoat. So The Inventor is off the list, and he didn't come to Poiemni in the Void.

The Inventor, The Charmer and The Catalyst are connected. But two at a time, they had their own relationships. That is the reason for the meetings in the Void.

Just a thought: the Golden Shards is the word combination to which the name "The Charmer" fits surprisingly well.

That's it for now, I'm off to sleep, I wrote this at midnight, bye👋.

-⚠️ (it will be my sign)

Goodnight ⚠️ anon! Another great theory, I see!

Well, if I put any direct inputs in this, it will raise some suspicions.

Still, it's quite interesting that these are your conclusions, however... A lot of things haven't been revealed yet, and you're already a little hot on the trail, and I am admittedly very impressed by that.

Which one am I talking about? You'll only know when the answers are revealed.

... I wonder if you'll be able to piece the journals when they drop. :)

Out of weird curiousity are there love triangles here?

Like between Caine Pomni and Ragatha, or with Caine Pomni and the Moon (if she's here and still flirty with Caine).

...or The Charmer, The Catalyst and The Inventor?

The closest to a love triangle you'll ever get from this au is the case of Caine, Pomni, and Ragatha.

But I think I need to clear up the confusion, that Pomni and Ragatha do not actually hit it off canonically, and Ragapom for this AU is as self-indulgent as eating a piece of candy after a meal

Caine and the Moon are not a thing either, Caine's fucking scared out of his mind because of how persistent, invasive, flirty (+ more reasons that I can't reveal) she is, and quite frankly it's the only canon-adjacent thing that makes it to this AU 💀

... And no The Charmer, The Catalyst and The Inventor are not in a love triangle, ew actually lol
