i am trying to put this together in my head and its a jigsaw all right.
-- Philos has to be Earth, not another planet that just happened to be colonized after Earth died. If the Lemurians are here, along with myths and legends about them (The Deep, the God of the Sea, pearl tears, etc) then this is Earth, even if they're now calling it Philos.
-- this is just my brain spining, but are we sure Philos is in the future, not the past? There's just something about that thought that is really nagging at me.
-- Rafayel might remember God of the Tides ("The fire is about to fade... how much time is left? Lemuria's final hope is within our reach."), and therefore should also remember City of Mirrors (Tears of Romirro). Amund deliberately reminds Rafayel "Your Quintessence is no longer God of the Sea," and there's no reason to say that way if neither of them have any 'past' memories. Unless of course we've had a complete reset of Lemuria and its playing out its destruction one more (countless) time in the loop.
-- /stares at the ceiling
-- re/Philos and Xavier -- maybe the girlfriend in the forest timeline was wandering around with a fragment of the aether core, and it wanted itself to be whole again, so it killed her to bring the shard back to the planet.
