Flaming trial kuya theories

Warning for spoilers! And death.

In FT room 1, Eiden is in an improv game and pretends to die via stabbing. Kuya witnesses this, and then there is a giant glitch sound + shaking screen while he has a shocked expression, before the reveal. This is a very similar reaction to when Garu gets his trauma flashbacks.

Some additional context:

Kuya has a breeding kink (Fallen Leaves) and has pretended Eiden is the mother to some random kits (Neon Carnival year 1)

Has a serious gripe about how short lived & dull or annoying humans are. Like he constantly repeats this.

For some reason, he has a lot of thirsty in-universe admirers (Tanuki, random bar patrons, Master of Elysium), he is heavily displeased by them and in the past would burn them (or kill them).

Used to serve Lord of Yokai and was Huey's right hand man, but now no longer likes being subservient to others

Has offered to keep Eiden at his home (Fallen Leaves) and in an illusion (Fancy Capricio/Forest Night) forever

Kuya & Huey were on a boat trip from Saia back to Klein. For some reason, Kuya transformed back into his yokai form, the ship burned down, and we have no information on Huey's wereabouts after that.

Not officially canon, but Quincy & Kuya have divorced vibes. Also, Quincy & Kuya are the only surviving biological OG clan members. I'm not counting Blade since he's manmade and does not have a lifespan/cannot die by biological means.

It's pretty established by now that Kuya is suicidal & depressed

Preexisting theories:

I forgot how it started, but its been a theory for a while that at some point when Kuya was a fox, he had a mate/family with kits, but they're no longer alive.

It's also been theorized Kuya (when human formed) also had (a) human lover(s), that also died.

Possible additional theories I haven't seen yet:

He had a mate/lover/family killed via stabbing, hence his reaction to Eiden's improv death and frequent displeasure towards human lifespans. And never got over that grief.

He had a mate/lover that he had a direct involvement with their death, though not necessarily via stabbing. Possible suicidal ideation & depression due to guilt and everything that comes with it.

He might have witnessed Huey's disappearance/death on that boat or been the one to cause his disappearance/death.

Other OG clan members that must have died or we wouldn't have several other generations of clan members, and we know some of them were humans since Dante, Olivine, Edmond are human (and Rei has human family). Huey didn't have sex with his clan members, so they all must have had sex with each other for essence regulation (including Quincy). Perhaps he was close with some of them and witnessed their deaths.

Great Serpent was an OG clan member and he did have a human lover that died. Perhaps Kuya witnessed that whole thing go down too.

Thoughts/anyone else got other ideas?
