ā¦I mean, my first thought/theory regarding this bit is that Dess was that 'careless Lightner' who accidently tore King (going off the assumption that she's the Knight and then the thematic parallel of the Knight's attacks on Darkners causing damage to their Light World objects), and I still think that idea holds a lot of water. But.. I was just reminded of thisā¦
ā¦Could it be Kris? I mean, I would think King would recognize them if it were, but he does not comment on their past history together in generalā¦
Maybe the Blue Skin + Kris growing up (+ the lack of 'horns'?) also makes it hard for King to recognize that young child who held and cherished but also tore him? The Blue Skin doesn't seem to put off anyone else that Kris knows, but these are all also folks who still know Kris as a Teen...
