Useless, impossible headcanon of the week:
“Juno” Steel is actually Benzaiten Steel.
The real Juno Steel was killed by Sarah.
Hear me out:
Sarah tried to kill Ben, but accidentally killed Juno bc they’re identical twins, and in order to keep her from fixing her mistake and killing him too Ben pretended to be Juno from then on out and the person we know as “Juno” is actually Ben.
or possibly:
Sarah killed Juno because of whatever she’s talking about in that dream, but then had to pretend that Juno was still alive so she made Ben pretend to be him and it went too far.
Supporting evidence:
-This show has a whole lot of themes revolving around names, and fake names, and the importance of identity in regards to your name
-Juno’s told Ramses he “doesn’t trust people who can’t tell you their real name”, and it was implied he was talking about Peter, but that doesn’t make sense because Peter did tell Juno his real name. The way he said it also kind of had the tone he has when he’s telling a self-depreciating joke.
-”My name’s Juno Steel. I’m a private eye.” “My name’s Juno Steel. I’m a private eye. “My name’s Juno Steel. I’m a private eye.” At this point it’s less of a catchphrase and more of a mantra, like he has to constantly remind himself that he’s Juno Steel and not Ben
- “My mom didn’t kill me, but that wasn’t for lack of trying. My brother wasn’t so lucky.” Could 100% be referring to a mistaken identity, due to them being identical twins
- Literally everything Nureyev says in this most recent episode about Juno not being Juno? that’s “Juno”’s subconscious reminding him he can never be the person his brother was, even if he’s been lying about it for however many decades it’s been
There are probably more examples but this is a late-night headcanon and I’m not gonna go through the rest of the episodes to find them
um hi im literally reviving a dead blog for this bc apparently i cant send this as a message but like if u want more canon thematic evidence,,,, u know how in murderous mask cassandra and cecil swap places?????? ???? yeah that.
(also worth noting that they only do that in 2mask2murderous aka that was something they purposefully added in once they knew juno’s character and where they were going with the show......)
