I need you all to sit down and hear me out.
Zestial is Franklin from this scene in the pilot.
NOW WAIT, HOLD ON-
I need you to look at Rosie and Zestial's hats for a second.
They have.
The same skull.
And almost the same feather.
Edit: I KNOW MY THEORY IS ASS, I KNOW THAT THERE'S A 0.03% CHANCE IT'S RIGHT, IT IS JUST /J AND FOR FUN, LET ME HAVE THIS.
You know what, adding to this theory:
Do we know 100% that the body shown outside of the emporium is Franklin? DO WE? That could LITERALLY be anyone. It's fucking cannibal town, man. People die left and right. (If it's canon I'm gonna contribute to deforestation)
