Huehuehuehuehue oh this card
- in Your Fragrance the story cuts off quite abruptly after we escape to the bathroom and Raf comes behind us to cage us against it. What did they do after that indeed.
- The original idea, considering how Raf talks of the witch like the role is something negative (MC also talks about it like she's an "evil" witch), is that after the Ceremony the angered Deep Sea had cursed MC to become the witch of the abyss. Now that we have the new myth we need to understand where to place it, if before or after Forgotten Sea (god of tides myth)
- MC getting jealous of herself was so cute. And Raf 100% knew. He tends to talk about past!MC to MC as if she's another person in Night Strolls too.
Also, there were some people complaining that in Forgotten Sea they go from reluctant allies to in love too soon. Like one moment she wants to escape and he's almost drowning her, the next he's asking her if she wants his heart. We know there's a whole month in time skip before the ceremony, and we don't know what happened during that time if not for the 4 star cards related to the event. This card here should add to that context (if the new myth doesn't come after God of tides, in which case it could be referencing that instead).
- The losing your memory is starting to become a pattern. Interesting. Is it each timeline? Or is it something else that triggers it? Could we lose our memories in the present, or do we need to "reincarnate" for that to happen?
- "the deep sea won't bless a love that betrays it"
Because she thinks he's about to turn into a human, which would mean betraying the sea by abandoning it. The deep sea would never bless that kind of love, but a witch just might. Both implying that she's an evil and contrarian force to the Deep Sea, acting in ways that are not to protect it, and also that she's just that pure-hearted after all, even while boiling with envy and jealousy we would bless this love Raf is giving everything up for.
- but Raf has no intention of doing this for (and to) himself. He instead wants to free her, because she was never supposed to be this. She turns back human, and he has just the time to drag her to shore before he dissolves in sea foam, right as she regains her memories.
Fan theory is that in the main story, that vision she has when looking at his painting (at the start of the story) of a girl knee-deep into the water, singing a sad lemurian song as she laughs or cries, might have been herself after she regains her memories and mourns Raf's "death" (the sea god cannot die).
- two important news: so there is some way where she can regain the memories of her past lives. It's not out of the realm of possibilities.
Present!MC does not just have visions of her past lives (like she had with Sylus), but she can also have dreams.
- "that was surely just a dream" or something similar, he says. This confirms that he does remember his past. This was a point of contention in Raf circles and still is, whether he actually remembers everything of his millennia long life or parts of it or nothing. Some believe he remembers nothing (which contradicts canon in more than one point), others that he remembers some of it but not all (they can't explain why awakened!Raf after we find the tome of the sea god asks us "a follower? Or just a lowly sacrifice?" "I have no need for traitors" Like he wasn't recognizing us), others that he remembers absolutely everything (in canon he comments several times as a joke - we know Raf and his totally innocent jokes that aren't actually true at all - that he has no problems remembering things).
Here what is 100% sure is that in the present he remembers witch of the abyss, and therefore god of tides. (Insert abyssal chaos reference when he makes us walk on water)
If MC had been simply "freed" by Raf during the ceremony, why did she not go back to the surface? At that point of the story we weren't a marine creature, only a human that needed to be delightfully kissed on the regular to breathe underwater. Whatever power hosting the sea god's heart gave us the day before the ceremony, it isn't apparent to her (I'm not even sure she knows he literally gave her his heart).
And the fact that she lost her memories seems to imply that she's a new reincarnation or something. And is being punished by the deep sea by her own nature. Destined to be alone and abandoned. This could be a punishment for having "stolen" the sea god's heart.
- put a pin on that melody!
