A'ight, looking at the dancing part of the Goodbye Lara opening and:

It looks like the situation is that these two are Lara's mother and Grace. I thought Grace was Rowan's sister but it looks like they're siblings-in-law.

It looks like Lara's still-unnamed mother went on to find love with Rowan and Grace found love with a human; presumably Grace's situation didn't work out, but it gives her some extra motivation to be invested in Lara's situation. I'm getting vague Renaissance vibes from the fashion of Grace and the human so this romance happened maybe a few hundred years before Lara's romance in the 1700s.

Since Lara's failed romance accidentally destroyed her kingdom, maybe Grace's failed romance is why Lara's mother isn't around anymore. I've talked before about how there's a meta feeling to Goodbye Lara, especially with Grace seeming very aware of The Story Of The Little Mermaid, so I'm getting the potential vibe that Grace was the original Little Mermaid.

"A girl who cannot become a princess is doomed to become a witch," and all that.

"Hey,Father...You said that mermaids are beautiful...And that humans are hideous...But it looks like that wasn't true."

"I guess it was me...Who was hideous."

Sayonara Lara || Rowan Episode 1

[ianime0]

Sayonara Lara | Ep1 | Lara, you will one day be reborn. The last light that remains within me... You, the princess, must receive it. No matter how sinful you may be... Still, I... I love you. This is all my fault. It's because I made the wish! Because I wished to become a human... It's all my fault! I... I'll offer my body, my life! So please... Give them back! My father... everyone!

Sayonara Lara E01

[ianime0]

Sayonara Lara | Ep2 | A special, radiant princess. That's what our mother was. She was also the one who produced the light that gives this castle life. And they say that one of us princesses might possess that same power. Staring at your hands won't do anything. That light is born from love. Lara, have you ever felt a kind of love that made you warm and fuzzy deep in your heart? I don't know... Only when the chosen princess feels true love will that radiant light be born deep within her heart. All of us six princesses are pursuing that light, pursuing true love, in order to fulfill our duty to give light to everyone in this castle.

she asks this and then it cuts to mari. which could mean nothing.

Sayonara Lara | Ep1 | First, you will meet the prince. After that, everything depends on you. But in exchange... I will take your voice. My voice? The surface world is a harsh and sensitive one. As Rowan before, a single misspoken word can be enough for them to ostracize you. But fear not. That's right. True love is light itself, beyond words.

[qqchurch]

they really speedran The Little Mermaid in ep1 only to say "okay that's it? one more time"

and this time it's looking like Lara has to find the "love that blossoms between mermaid and human" with, well

yeah
