SxF 123-2 Thoughts.
Yo,
Remember how Damian sometimes spouts the most whaky-yet-accurate, 4th-wall-shattering comments?
(there's also that scene where he called Anya's mom a gorilla & her dad's a fraud which is hilariously accurate, but I forgot which chapter or arc).
Well, it looks like he did it again in this chapter!
Remember how Anya spelled her name as Ania once, indicating that she might not be from Ostania or Westalis?
Yeah.
Maybe she really doesn't represent Ostania afterall, cus she's not originated from there.
Could my theory that Anya is from Covenia/Romania be true, afterall?? Or maybe she's from an entirely new country (like the equivalent of Russia), perhaps?
Only time will tell.
Moving on.
With the way this is framed,
Is it safe to assume the human experimentation is really happening to this day, afterall? Perhaps that's what Anya felt as something "kind of evil" ? Perhaps the "Go away, don't come any closer" is from the victim??
Is the human experimentation real or not, though??? We can't be sure, yet.
Maybe this holds some truth, giving another hint of what's to come (like Donovan's past or smth). But also, this could be a false alarm as a teasing joke for the theorist readers, lololol.
(I gotta say though; last time, I had wondered if the legend was from Donovan's teenage era. Now that Arnold says the legend comes from the Great War era, I can't help but feel like it's getting warmer, lol.)
Idk why I think the flying person might be Demetrius. Maybe I was under the assumption that he's still experimented on to this day, ASSUMING Demetrius also has brain-related superpower. Or maybe cus he's the only person I could think of, who wears a scholar's cape, lmao. Still risky to believe in an assumption though, I need more data/info. I decided not to think too much about it, for now.
From the comments I've seen, it looks like they're in disbelieve that someone can fly. But. Are we forgetting about Yor, tho?? Lolol. Maybe it really IS a person/student with superhuman athletic ability like Yor who can jump real high effortlessly. What are they doing here though, I have NO idea. Maybe the experimentation is not just about brain-enhancing stuff, but also physical-enhancing stuff? Maybe the "flying person" is actually one of the victim who tried to run away??
Eh, let's move on.
Why is Mr. Henderson getting fired tho, that was random, lololol.
At first, I thought maybe someone who holds a grudge against Henderson finally makes his move. People say it's prob Mr. Swann. Maybe this is gonna be the start of a new arc.
But. If it's not, IF it's a continuation of this arc, there are 3 possibilities in my head.
Maybe:
Henderson is getting fired because it's related to the ghost-hunting case these days. Maybe they want to fire him because they thought he's neglecting his students to the point they can ran amok easily;
He's getting fired because the human experimentation or something similarly shady really DO exist in the old schoolhouse. They're getting annoyed at the kids barging in, they're scared they'd get discovered soon. They want to fire Henderson so one of them can replace him to control the students so that they won't dare to enter the old schoolhouse anymore (be it by intimidation, manipulation, and/or heavy supervision);
It's related to the Donovan family dinner earlier. Maybe Donovan finally makes his move to get closer to Anya, so he/they want to replace Henderson with someone from their side to spy/get close to Anya.
As much as I want Henderson to be saved, I can't imagine how, though. I can vaguely imagine the kids are gonna go on a mission to save him or to clear his name, but they're still kids; there's a limit in how much they can do. I don't think Twillight will make a move unless it benefits his mission. Maybe Anya will plead real hard, then he'll go rescue him for "the sake of Anya's wellbeing that will affect Op Strix" or smth. If Endo is gonna go to a more serious route, there's a chance Henderson won't be back for a long while -> a replacement teacher stays for a long while bc they can't br driven out -> the kids want them out -> they (+Loid?) go on a mission -> the replacement teacher gets kicked out -> Henderson is back.
I heard the next chapter is gonna be delivered in a month (next time is just gonna be an illustration), so let's just wait and see.
Btw, Damian who run to rescue Anya warms my heart so much 😊😊🧡🧡
Freddie still hasn't appeared 😢 But at least we meet Billy! 😆 I was right that the shoe seems small enough to belong to a 1st grader, lol.
