So I was right, Alula's trait of killing those she loved did come from the original Waka

I can now only imagine Retry Now by NAKISO playing in the background of this flashback

So the original Waka had the same drive to kill the ones she loved that Alula has, along with the ability to manipulate people like the gods do, so I wonder if they all come from her somehow?

It was mentioned before that the gods grew because of exposure to contaminated water, so I guess that's why the water from the sink did next to nothing but the water in the lake grew them exponentially?

So he is going through some sort of time loop. He said that every night he has nightmares of playing the same game over and over again, so I think one of his abilities is to see the future in his dreams

AND HE WASHED HIS HAIR LIKE HOW TOKINAGA DID WHEN THEY MADE UP! MY F**G HEART DUDE 😭😭😭

The pages were mixed up. I'm pretty sure page 8 was supposed to go after page 11

Are they drugs???

Alloromantic asexual rep?

The mind may forget, but the body remembers type shi type shi

So his love was so strong it persisted even after death. And she knew him so well she knew he had been replaced from the start but was just in denial. Agh, my heart

Ugh, I had guessed he was a god, but I thought he was going to be swayed to the good side by the power of (b)romance, damnit

That's actually such an interesting metaphor. Normally, people self harm to have a sense of control to make their internal feelings of pain lesser in comparison to their external ones, but Shion was seemingly hurting herself to awaken Alula over and over, their eyes numbing her suffering. But both were just unhealthy coping mechanisms.

So Ahu'az said that Waka "needs to make someone fall in love with her and be happy," seemingly because it relates to allowing the god within her to incarnate. But also that Yon died because she loved Waka. So are they trying to get her attached to someone then kill them off to shatter her psyche so Alula can take over?

The stakes rose so quickly. Also those poor unrelated people just waiting for their train
