lots of things happened this episode. first order of business: puruth's correspondence:
So now Puruth's narration at the beginning of R01 feels *really* *really* intentional, same with him being the only one to mention the Strawberry King's disappearance. It seems he's actively investigating a certain legend regarding a tree and a song.....seems like this guy knows a little more than he lets on.
of course. if you follow my mad ranting, we already know where this tree is, and how it might be related to the concepts of Memory and SEEDs. The song part, to my knowledge, is entirely new infomation! How exciting! But it seems Puruth doesn't have all the pieces, making it diffcult......but you know who probably fucking does?
Will, of course. And most likely Ciel as well. A tree......a song.....and legends......allow me and my mind to run wild for a moment.
The only other legend we know of within the story is of course, the story of the original Red Bouquet, of knights who banded together and brought peace to the land. But surely, it can't be as simple as just joining hands and fighting together, perhaps? Like it can be, and I would be fine with that. Perhaps....there was a certain ritual to be done.....one that could only be done by people who truly get along, at a certain place, with a certain song. That's just me spitballing though, it's possible that these two legends are entirely unrelated.
But anyway! Assuming the person he's addressing isn't like, some NPC, let's try to narrow down who Puruth's pen pal might be!
Deconfirmations for pretty much the entirety of Red, firstly. Puruth wouldn't have a need to write a letter to someone he could pull away from the group and chat for a moment.
Unlikely: I kinda want to say the entirety of Blue. Kurode, for obvious reasons, cannot be it. Depsite cooperating with the alliance, the twins still very much keep to themselves, allying themselves with a random knight from a different continent seems bizzare and out-of-character. Myunna...doesn't have much of a grasp of what's going on. By virtue of already knowing where the tree is and tasked with keeping it secret, I don't think it's Will. And while I do believe Ciel's plans will eventually spread out to other regions and thus she needs to start making connections elsewhere, I don't think it's her...?
I want to point out something. Throughout the VD, it seems like cross-continent communication seems very limited. Escpeically in Red Continent, where it seems like "modern" means of transport and communications either are non-existent or at the least, very rare. From a narrative perspective, it's a way to make all the stories happen at the same time without like, overwhelming the viewer with redundant information with characters reacting to things that aren't necessarily immediately relevant to them. But......there's one very recent exception.
........Why would Pikero know this? Why is this intentionally the first instance of a character commenting on the ongoing plotline on a different continent in speific detail? From a guy who is currently researching mixing magic and song to combat SEEDs after all.
(Both are tls from KK, big love) It's also Pretty Pellicular that for the interview question series, most characters compared their ages to characters within their existing unit, people that they know, save for Tuxam and Pikero. For an direct underclassman of the "legendary generation", it seems natural that Tuxam would know who Merold is. But.......why does Pikero mention Puruth specifically, and not just end with "I'm a little younger than Tuxam?" Puruth also ended his travels a little after Pikero became a knight, maybe they met somewhere? It's all quite suspicious....
This theory is a little shaky, but I honestly think he could be the only person within the remaining cast that could fit the bill.
The alternative is of course, Puruth is somehow in direct contact with the Strawberry King, who has disappeared to invesigate this legend. But this doesn't make sense to me, as the figurehead above the Lords, I think he'd probably know where the tree resides.
OH MY GOD. THEY MADE PURUTH SING YOTSUBATODURI NO RHAPSODY. OH MY GOS I HATE FRAGARIA MEMORIES I HATE SANRIO. THEYRE TRYING TO MAKE ME CRY SO BAD AND IT WORKS.
