Modri's memories and brain?
Ch228 will be out soon, and I've been thinking so much about Seb and Modri's demon, as well as Modri himself... but haven't posted much about it.
To summarize my thoughts/feelings about some stuff:
I'm hoping that Modri's demon is someone else, not Sebastian. Preferably, it would by John Brown, but it can be any other demon than Seb. I just don't see much point to hiding the guy's face or name -- or even drawing all this out so long -- if it's just going to really be Sebastian, after all. Of course, the plan is probably to make our earl think Seb is lying under contract, an apparent breach. In the confusion, their contract might end (which Undertaker would want to take advantage of), even if the confusion is quickly resolved.
Modri's brain might not be his own brain. I say this because the brain is where cinematic records are created and stored, but brains rot quickly, and Modri's corpse was out in the open long enough for flies to arrive and reproduce and (inexplicably, without doing much obvious damage) leave again. Horribly, the brain in his skull might have come from one of those orphans who "fledged". One of the "Mastiffs", I suppose, if Modri really gets "Polaris" blood. His corpse is collected long ago (maybe) but not reanimated until just recently, now that Undertaker has access to new technology and techniques.
Whether that (the brain not being his) is true or not, the cinematic records could actually be from just about any demon contractor from the late 18th century who had dealings with a demon traveling from Vienna. If that's the case, then Undertaker might have connections to an active reaper, after all. Othello might be as useless in a fight as he seems to be... but he might be good playing a double agent. The logo or symbol on Othello's lab coat is from the game Othello, originally called Reversi. You can flip the game pieces over, depending on who has control over those pieces....
