Obey Me! Nightbringer Lesson 40 Spoilers
I have read through all of Lesson 40, including in the Hard section.
And in the Hard section, it is shown that we have returned to the House of Lamentation.
But are we really supposed to believe that our return to the present/future is met with just a simple “hey, welcome home”?
I don’t know about you, but I think the devs could have easily written at least one full Lesson just celebrating our return, spending time with the brothers, explaining everything that we’ve been through in the past, etc.
Personally, I would love to see Lucifer just calmly telling Solomon “you’re lucky you brought them back home in one piece” and Solomon responding with “haha, is that a threat? Well don’t worry. I’d never let anything happen to my adorable apprentice. Anyway, we had quite the adventure. We even lived together.” just to try and piss Lucifer off. I love their little rivalry/feud when it comes to MC lol xD
And I mean, okay… Levi cried when he saw us and said it felt like we haven’t been there in so long. And Asmo agreed after hugging us.
There are so many theories and possibilities that I’ve been thinking about.
What if what we’re actually being shown is an alternate reality created by Nightbringer?
We haven’t seen or heard anything about Nightbringer for quite a while, so I’m highly skeptical that he just went away. In fact… I think he has a major role in everything going on right now. Why else would the devs introduce him in the first place?
Also, why wasn’t Solomon with us when we “returned” to the House of Lamentation?
On the same note, what if Nightbringer has just intercepted our return home to show us “someplace we will be happy”, as he has said he could show us. It would explain why Solomon isn’t there (which begs the question : if this is the case, where is Solomon? Has the time travel been paused somehow and he’s temporarily unaware of what’s going on? Has he been returned home without us? Is he somewhere else within this new reality?)
Or what if we really are back home, and Lucifer is the only one who knows/remembers that we were missing (like, what if his brothers were losing it because it was taking so long for us to return, so he erased/altered their memories of all the time we weren’t there?)
OR!!! I know this is just me leaning into the whole “yandere Solomon” thing, but imagine if we are in a different reality where the brothers are just friendly towards us. No romantic feelings or love or anything like that.
I mean… Solomon did mention :
Side note on this silly, unrealistic theory : imagine Solomon working together with Nightbringer to make this happen.
Putting all of my dark fantasies aside, though!
I’m also super curious about Barbatos. Before we left, he dropped this on us :
He may not have given us any direct knowledge/information, but that's a big enough hint to convince me that he knew damn well we were from the future.
And if that’s the case… why would Barbaros allow us to be sent off to any place except back to where we came from? Unless he didn’t predict Nightbringer being involved?
I don’t know, though… I’m still super interested to find out more about Nightbringer and how/if he’s connected to Barbatos and Solomon.
In all seriousness… I really hope there will be many more Lessons for us to look forward to, and that we'll get more direct answers soon ^^
