GALLAGHER IS DEATH AND EITHER IS THE MEME OR IS CONTROLLING IT WHICH IS WHY IT WAS ABLE TO DO SOMETHING SIMILAR TO DEATH TO ROBIN FIREFLY AND SUNDAY (obviously I none of them are actually dead but I haven’t really figured out what else to call it)
I’ll try and fully flesh this out when I’m back home and Can double check sources.
Penacony spoilers
Fixing what I said ab the voice calling out to “Mikhail”
The name Mickhail (Mikhail) is a variant of the anme Michael and Misha is derived from the name Saint Michael aka Archangel Michael aka the Angel of Sunday
Basically I think the watchmaker’s name was Mikhail and Misha and Sunday are both named after him. It’s a pretty common theory that Misha’s grandfather was the watchmaker so that explains why he’d be named after him. But Sunday could be a couple of reasons, Mikhail is likely his real name, he could’ve been named that by his parents/the family because they wanted some type of association with the name or it could be something more complicated which is more likely. Probably some weird immortal/reincarnation dreamscape shit. Idk.
Anyway.
I think the one calling out for “Mikhail” for most of the time we hear the voice is Misha’s memories of his grandfather
Whilst the voice calling out to “Mikhail” in the doors area is Robin calling out to Sunday when she’s dying
I believe the things going wrong in the dreamscape is because of this box both mention. (Presumably) Misha asks about the box and what’s in it. (Presumably) Robin yells that “Mikhail” said not to open it. I’m not sure which Mickhail Robin is talking about here since the box seems to have originally been the watchmaker’s but is now in the possession of the family so either could’ve said something about not opening it.
This is probably gonna be a reference to Pandora’s box (I’ll be real surprised if it’s not) so I want to mention that one of the sorrows of Pandora’s box is death and the memory zone meme that attacks us in the doors area and later kills Firefly is called “Something Unto Death” it’s likely that we heared Robin begging for the box not to be opened. It was opened and she was fatally injured, the boss probably wanted to get away from the box so left imediately which is when we have our first run in with it.
Basically I think more is going to come out of the box similar to this boss
Woah a little off track.. say hi to Mikhail, Mikhail and Mikhail!
Anyways tell me if I got anything wrong please 🙏🙏🙏
