My Prediction of Who Kafka Is.
Something tells me Kafka is the MC’s mother or family. I mean, she is the only one MC recognizes out of the Stellaron Hunters. And seeing as how there’s a constant theme of family bonds throughout the game (both adopted and biological and whatnot), and that Cocolia and Serval look much younger than their old age, I’m sure Kafka’s age could be up there as well. The way her and MC’s hairstyles are disheveled and fall down the same way, and the same lazy gaze in their eyes are too uncanny. Especially in that shot without her makeup. I’m wondering if MC is Kafka and Nanook’s child. Or maybe an aunt, relative or older sister or something. Or maybe could be an adoptive mother and they just resemble each other cuz of that. Either way, there are visible similarities in the visuals.
As I mentioned, there are a lot of family bonds in this game. Hook and her father, Svarog and Clara, Natasha and her family and orphans she looked after, Bronya and Cocolia with their somewhat toxic but very loving and trusting mother-daughter relationship (they are also unrelated but resemble each other), the blind female disciple and the blind child she looks after, Jing Yuan and Yanqing, Yukong and her adoptive daughter, the Landaus, etc. I think the hints are saying something.
Whenever the MC talks alone with* Kafka, such as in their awakening in the beginning and later in the interrogation scene, Kafka is very sincere with them, unlike the snarky and somewhat mysterious side she shows to everyone else. What was interesting to me about the interrogation scene is that Kafka starts out by saying we “haven’t changed a bit,” meaning she knew us for a long time and had some kind of personal relation to us enough to say that, and we also have the choice to ask her if “she’s hurt” and if she’s ok. So here, our MC remembers she also has sympathy for Kafka somehow.
I don’t entirely think this is a coincidence.
