A few little notes from the Anecdote Siren's Song:
- Talia is Raf's aunt. She's taught him to sing opera for his past job occupation.
- She gives him an envelope most likely containing names of either dead Lemurians or humans connected to those dead Lemurians. It's a hit list.
- "After that incident in Lemuria, Rafayel changed. Talia felt she could no longer recognize him. If the Rafayel of the past was a blazing flame, then the Rafayel now resembled a reef battered by relentless waves - outwardly cold and hard, yet riddled with cracks, vulnerable to crumbling from the next wave."
- "K is dead." he says. "We held the Seamoon Ceremony for him last Saturday."
Many of us speculate he's the father of that skeleton in Raymond's house. Although it's a stretch since he never mentioned a daughter, only the torture he suffered and can no longer endure.

Now for this WU text.
- Talia's getting married?
Again. Which is an interesting piece of info. Unless Talia collects husbands like a femme fatale, plus the mention of the "pact", this tells us Lemurians can bond to more than one partner (in succession, at least). We can imagine she didn't go through a divorce, more likely her past husband was Lemurian and died, and now she's finally bonding again to someone else, a human.
- She says "Not everyone is as lucky as you..."
Implying that he doesn't have to find someone else to like and love and bond with. It's always going to be one person.
Unclear whether she says this because MC reincarnates so she's always going to be his bonded partner (implies they all know of their multiple lifetimes together), or because she knows he's already in love and nothing more.
- "But there are still those who don't realize how important it is to have an anchor."
Put a pin on it! It's a literal metaphor we'll see again for Raf.
- "Rafayel, have you ever thought about your own wedding?" "No."
The man whose entire identity spins around finding the bride of the Sea God. The man who's thinking of designing a wedding dress and asking Talia's husband to make it. "Goodbye my beloved bride" he says in Abysswalker, and in the main timeline he doesn't want to think about it. Ouch.
- Raymond wasn't the Lemurian's father. We know that Raymond was sick and a patient of Zayne, then he found a way to extend his life thanks to Xander Sciences. Considering the Lemurian skeleton in his house, we can guess what means he used to become young again.
Raf is there officially for Raymond's funeral, but unofficially he's only there to mourn the girl.
"He leans over the coffin and places the carefully selected gardenias on it, making sure its most beautiful side faces the fish tank."
"At a barely noticeable angle, he aligns himself with the bouquet" which is facing the tank "silently reciting a eulogy"
"He knows who Talia is singing for, just as she knows who Rafayel came here for."
They're both there only for the skeleton.
- The bouquet of flame lilies that he doesn't know if he's going to give or not. In his trailer video we see him caress the face of a statue (whose hairstyle heavily resembles MC in the Sea God myth), flowers and lilies around her and they catch on fire when his hand is close. He looks somber and his shoulders give way to what looks like a sob.

- If Raymond wasn't explicitly mentioned as someone who regained a youthful appearance and health through shady means, we could entertain the theory that he's Lemurian and betrayed his people. But Lemurians have no problems staying young and beautiful, so Raymond was made of a more mortal cloth.

The most direct reading is that Raymond lured/captured the Lemurian girl, gave her to Xander Sciences to get his cure, and then once she was dead displayed her in his living room.
