Hear me out…

*MAJOR spoilers for Leon’s route below the cut & for Licht’s and Nokto’s— proceed with caution*

Okay, so as I’m sure most of you know the theory in Rhodolite that twins bring bad luck. That phrase has to have some origin and I thought — what if twins run in the royal family? Because we have Licht and Nokto obviously, but what if they’re not the only pair of twins we know?

In Leon’s route we learn that he is not the original prince Leon and doesn’t have any royal blood. But what if that’s not true.

In Leon’s route we learned that he is naturally left handed and had to practice using his right hand in order to take over for the original Leon. And there’s a belief that with twins one’s left handed and the other is right handed. So what if the reason that the Leon we know in the game and the original Leon looked so much alike is because they’re actually twins?

In Lichts route we learn that the twins mother was supposed to choose one baby to live but ultimately couldn’t choose and let both boys live. So what if Leon’s mother was supposed to do the same, but instead of killing one she decided to abandon one? She of course had no way of knowing if either baby had been born with the same heart condition as the king and ultimately the twin she chose had it and of course eventually succumbed to it.

In Leon’s route we learn that he has no idea when his real birthday is and knows nothing about his parents and that would make sense if he was abandoned. Maybe his mother sent one of her servants to drop Leon off in a nearby village and just hoped for the best for her son, not knowing one day she would someday need him.
