Do you think the heroine of Erosion will appear someday? I mean, I'd love to know what she looks like physically! Plus I'm dying to see her drawn by Satoi.
Hmm ๐ค If it isn't headband girl then personally I would think not. Just because it feels like Rejet is really pulling for the yume route as things are right now, especially since it's just drama tracks and comics/illusts they can get away with not showing her- also not showing her would be the 'safest' option but that's like a whole debate in itself
What do you think Carnelian is? Apparently, from what Karlheinz said, he was never a human. Also in the official sypnosis, Rejet described Carnelian as "an abomination".
Sorry for taking so long to answer this!
Now this is entirely speculation on my part so take it with a grain of salt
So like I definitely think that Carnelian was not born of normal means, like chapter 9 is quite literally titled Incarnation, in the biblical sense, so I think that's a flag. Also the fact in the beginning of that chapter there's like womb imagery and he's like a child already. Idk idk
My only theory around what he is, is he is perhaps a chimera of sorts? In quite literally the first video on the official channel there's a part where ใญใกใฉ pops up on screen among other relevant keywords (screenshot below for ref). Not sure if it's directed at Carnelian himself or towards Erosion, could be both for all we know, but I think it's definitely something to keep in mind at least.

With an awkward laugh
In the vase left behind in my room

Even its shadows have been filled with new colors

So much that it's a wonder to me
And in this world that's about to crumble away
I've wrapped myself up in your sheets (still love you)

Before Byakuya made a very colorful cake so this time we made an over the top one. (TOXIN)
Oi, I was the one that made it though wasn't I? As if you could make a cake for that crazy boy. (YORU)
The present we got was something Byakuya had picked out. But, how anyone could be happy with this is beyond me. (NEIGHT)
Y'know the sound of that confetti cannon he got was a lot too... It was a bit fun though.

How about I take your hand?
If we're changing the world
Then grab reason and submission
Let's dig in!!
Happy New Year ๐๐๐๐๐๐ข. We enjoyed a pretty typical Japanese New Year (TOXIN)
That Hagoita thing is pretty fuckinโ sick. Tomorrow Iโm settling the score with Toxin. (YORU)
Zoni is delicious. Tomorrow I think Iโll just have the toasted rice cakes. But, throwing out the sukiyaki would be such a waste..... (NEIGHT)
It has to be the fireworks for me๐ Tomorrow~๐ Iโm gonna make a ton more go BANG! Ah, ๐๐๐๐๐๐ข hereโs to another yearโจ

Lucky bags are the best. There were a ton of games in mine. Iโm playing a ton of games this year.

After youโve decided to move in with EROSION.
On a certain day Byakuya visits your room โโ
Byakuyachin! Is here! Uwah! You're studying or whatever that's crazy~ Anyways~ Did you get that assignment we did after school? Waai! Thank youโญ Y'know doing that assignment from today re~ally wore me out! So~ You~ Know~! I need you to heal me Doc~ "How"? With hugs of course! Huggg~! I want you to heal me with a pien~ Ah but you don't have to go over pien and make it paon okie? Ehhh~ Doc you don't get it? The~n I guess I'll have to show you! Just~ like this~ You gotta hug me like this! And then I want you to pat my head. Pat pat~ Right~ that's it~ Just like that! Soo c'mon~ Sensei you do it too!

If you don't I'll be a ghost stuck on your back forever! Honyahaa~ More than pien, even more than paon, it's piengaoka dosukoinosuke!
Today we celebrated in a way that Creha would like the best. Like how Byakuya did it last year, we got him another assortment of games. (TOXIN)
Then from me, this spicy as hell nabe. I got no damn clue how it tastes. Hurt to make too, no way in hell I'm making this again. (YORU)
You say that as though you won't end up making another. In any case, it was rather difficult choosing the games. Is there really that wide of a variety? (NEIGHT)
But there is also the safer picks from Byakuya-chan so play to your hearts content Crehachin๐
๐โด๐๐ ๐ โ๐ จโ๐ โ๐ โ๐ คโ๐ จโ๐
Will do. I'll drown myself in games from today all the way until the CD release 'kay.
๐๐ฆ โญ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฅ๐
Also thanks ๐๐๐๐๐๐ข. You guys can send me games too. See ya.

Hey you've been standing there for a while. What's up?
๐๐ฆ โญ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฅ๐
Huh, this is that thing I wanted... You happened to find it and ended up buying it. Hmmm, alright, I'll take it.
๐๐ฆ โญ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฅ๐
Hold up. If, you wanted to we could play it together... How about it?
๐๐ฆ โญ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฅ๐
๐๐๐๐๐๐ข it seems as though you all know already. As my birthday was last month, today is Creha's. (NEIGHT)
#EROSIONใฏใฌใ็่ช็ฅญ
Tada โจ And Crehachin's present is~~๐ from the four of us๐ Alright, Yoruchin๐
๐โด๐๐ ๐ โ๐ จโ๐ โ๐ โ๐ คโ๐ จโ๐
Here. I got no clue what would be good, but you like this stuff right? Take it. (YORU)
Eh, not sure why you called me over all of the sudden but... Thanks. What's this. ............!
๐๐ฆ โญ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฅ๐
It's an assortment of games๐ฎ It goes from analog all the way to recent releases, Byakuya-chan picked it out!
๐โด๐๐ ๐ โ๐ จโ๐ โ๐ โ๐ คโ๐ จโ๐
Uwah, this one I wanted but couldn't get my hands on it. And this software, I've been interested but haven't tried it yet. ... I didn't think you'd get me something this good.
๐๐ฆ โญ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฅ๐
I'm glad you like it. Seems like leaving this to Byakuya was the right choice. But, Creha. That isn't everything. (TOXIN)
Games are meant to be played you know. So we got a five-player one, so we can all play together. If you can beat all of us then there's another present waiting for you. (TOXIN)
One more? ... Well, fine then. There's no way I'm losing.
๐๐ฆ โญ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฅ๐
Then let's begin. We'll report of the results of the match. So wait until then. (NEIGHT)
I beat everyone
๐๐ฆ โญ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฅ๐
Of course, this was the expected outcome, Creha really is good at this kind of this. The five of us played one of those racing games... (TOXIN)
Toxin kept driving the wrong way and Neightchin switched to the other Neightchin~~ Then he started crashing into everyone's cars๐๐จ๐จ๐จ
๐โด๐๐ ๐ โ๐ จโ๐ โ๐ โ๐ คโ๐ จโ๐
You bugged the game to get a new course and set all those traps for me didn't you? Fรรk๏ผ (YORU)
W-well, in any case. Since Creha did beat all of us, he gets one more present. ...... Or rather, instead of cake he gets this, I guess? (TOXIN)
You guys made this...
... Mhm, it's good. Thanks.
๐๐ฆ โญ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฅ๐
I'm not sure if it's okay for someone that made it to be saying this but, is it really that good...? The curry part is supposed to be extremely spicy as well. It's completely covered in that sauce. (NEIGHT)
But it is good that he's enjoying it. Creha, is there anything you want to say to the ๐๐๐๐๐๐ข? (TOXIN)
Eh, not really... ... I guess, thanks for the messages.
๐๐ฆ โญ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฅ๐
Blunt as usual... But, you do have a very happy face now so I'll let it slide. Ah, actually, I wonder if Creha should be more like this at the school festival...? (TOXIN)
Stop mumbling and let's close this out Toxin-chanโ
Alrighty ๐๐๐๐๐๐ข, after the one-two let's say happy birthdayโ And one-two...
๐โด๐๐ ๐ โ๐ จโ๐ โ๐ โ๐ คโ๐ จโ๐
We made a mess of things and Neight ended up finding out what we were doing... But he really enjoyed the birthday celebration. (TOXIN)
He even ate all that huge ass steak by himself. But I guess it had to be that good because I'm the best at cooking, y'know? (YORU)
But I thought he'd for sure love the present I got for him this year๐ฅบ Those pink ๐ were the cutest~~~๐ฅบ๐ฅบ๐ฅบ
๐โด๐๐ ๐ โ๐ จโ๐ โ๐ โ๐ คโ๐ จโ๐
I didn't get him a game this year, Toxin and I got him a guidebook. Y'know I picked the one he'd probably like.
๐๐ฆ โญ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฅ๐
You have my thanks. It was a very fulfilling birthday. (NEIGHT)
And ๐๐๐๐๐๐ข your thoughts have been more than enough. No matter how many birthdays may pass I swear I'll face music in earnest. Thank you for your continued support. (NEIGHT)
Oh right, did you not do anything special? Perhaps the food and decorations maybe. (NEIGHT)
Thought as much. And I had a feeling you'd have something for me. I'll graciously accept it. (NEIGHT)
Where are you going? I've accepted your present, at least let me thank you. Let's take it slow until tomorrow. Now, what do you want me to do? (NEIGHT)
After you've decided to move in with EROSION.
In a turn of events you start spending time with Crehaโ
Last week... What happened? The changing room... Ah, that time you were zoned out in your underwear? So what about it? Going... out? Ah- Right that's a thing. Hah? But I don't even like you. Eh? 'Cause if we were going out or whatever I'd be ok with you touching me. Anyways, what does "liking someone" even mean? What kind of feeling is that? Y'know I really have no clue about any of that. Ah, nah. You don't need to answer. I'm about to start a high level quest so don't talk to me. Shut up. Don't start yelling, look you made me mess up. Huh? It's not like I'm lying, anyways what are you so mad about? After your body? What does that even mean? I really have no idea what you're talking about most of the time. I told you that hurts, why are you so quick to hit. I don't even know what you mean when you say I'm "the worst" and stuff. Hah? Hey, hold up, are you leaving?
Some of the lyrics are nearly unreadable near the end of the PV so I did my best with those
I want to keep Firemind
Nanimono ni mo narenai hibi ni
Koutai wo uchikonde mo
Nagareru sora wo, niramu hitomi wa
Dokoka nigotte
Those days where I can't be anything
Even when I take in the antibodies*
Those eyes staring at the drifting sky
Are clouding over
Kawareru TAIMINGU wo sagutte wa
Ima janai kamonette?
Honto no teki wo, miushinatte iru
Amae amae ikite
Looking for the chance to change
"But what if it isn't now?"
I've lost sight of the real enemy
What a sheltered life I've lived
Hachigatsu no semi ga utau
Gottakaeshiteru inochi no hate
Yume wo tsukamu noka wa bokura shidai da
The cicadas of August sing
An aimless song until the end of their life
It's up to us to take hold of our dreams
Ah
Daremo kimerarenai
I want to keep Firemind
Ah
I won't let anyone decide
I want to keep Firemind
Honoo yurashite,
Aoku sakaru itami ni yusaburare
(Ima wo)
Mirai wo utagau,
Anata ga shinjirareru yoake made
(Koete)
Subete wo ushinau,
Kakugo wo machiawasetenakute mo ii
(susume)
Futari wo tsutsunda,
Nageyarina kuuki wo kaeru tame no ippo wo,
Hajimeyou?
I want to keep Firemind
The flames flicker,
Shaken by the pain that grows in the blue
(And now)
Doubt the future,
Until the dawn that you can believe comes
(Overcome)
Cast everything away,
You don't have to wait for me to be ready
(Continue)
We've been surrounded,
Let's take the first step to change
This reckless life, Shall we?
I want to keep Firemind

*I saw an interesting take about this line, given this is written by Creha and he has said music is like a drug that keeps him alive- Antibodies might be a metaphor for music in this case
Ok i have a question bc i haven't been active on knowing Carnelian Blood after The other last album but- WE HAVE A HEROINE? Or is it just us like a drama of us in it? Idk if you get what i mean
I get what you mean dw! Uhh so currently it's very much just us in the drama. There's a lot of speculation about who the heroine could be as a character but how its been so far and as of marketing it's very much just ~you~
