#c’tron crosscode

CrossCode full game and dlc spoiler rambling:

Whenever I’m thinking about Luke and Lukas there’s always a corner of my brain thinking about the fact that the moment Luke reneges his claim to the name Lukas exactly follows after Lukas responding to the Super Lukas joke with “I’ll be True Lukas, then.’”

Like. Kinda fucked up thing for Lukas to say when you stop and think about it. C’mon man that was a pretty big fuckup. He could’ve used a nickname in CrossWorlds instead of making Luke give up his name for his entire existence. Yeah it’d be more confusing for him and his irl friends but they could make it work for the sake of not making him rename himself.

(I still like him though to be clear. I like him more for the mistake than if he’d handled it well honestly. What can I say I’m a Shizuka fan.)

I also keep thinking about that scene where Lea dreams of receiving her name. Like, we know the Lea of five years later so she’s super used to being named Lea, but I just keep picturing that moment. She was just activated. Barring the language impairment she’d still be pretty close to a perfect clone of a younger Shizuka at that point. No memories, floating with no idea what’s happening to her. And then this guy just fuckin’ names you?! I keep wondering, did she ever feel something off at first? Ever suspect this was wrong?

Did she ever remember that her name was Shizuka? She spent a fair bit of time around Satoshi, as I understand it. That would cause her to regain memories much faster! Did she ever wonder why her own brother wouldn’t tell her her own name? And even if she remembered it herself, she wouldn’t be able to tell anyone she remembered her name, I don’t think ‘name’ is a concept she would be capable of learning a word for at that point in her life.

Also I should really do a separate post about all my many thoughts about how “C’Tron” is presented as just one of the accounts he changes between and how that must fuck his sense of self. But that’s a whole other thing so for now: I also muse about how C’Tron has so so many names and every last one of them has been a fake. He, seemingly, does not even remember what his/Sidwell’s real name ever was.

Now the one name he chose to befriend interrogation target 78 under has stuck to him permanently. But he’s known it’s fake for just about as long as he’s been alive. Did it stop feeling that way just because it’s the last name he has left?

Does he even have a name real anymore?

Toby: So that whole cutting an earthworm in half to make two new worms thing is just a myth. Only the shorter half of the worm can regenerate, and even then the clitellum would still have to be intact.

We're wresting now from our own hands a future Regret the flower of watered seed Are we the ghosts that swarm about us?

[ Image ID: A digital drawing of C’tron from Crosscode. He is standing on a tall rock in Vermilion Wasteland, juxtaposed against a pure black sky with a bright red moon behind him, lighting him dramatically from the back. He’s facing the viewer, though shadows obscure most of his features and expression, and his glasses are highlighted the same bright red as the moon. End ID ]

Okay this is half a year old buuuut I just finished CrossCode today after it made me disappear off the face of the earth for a week, I’m relishing the fact I can read all the spoilers now, and I might have an answer here.

I think his deletion actually happens after the Evotar server raid. Sure, Sidwell is gone by this point but it sounded to me like he had automated the intelligence system to such a degree that it could spin on for a couple weeks without him. Plus, as long as he gets his data onto the main server before they crash it in ch10, he’d still be on the private server for some time.

If I recall correctly Emilie says he went offline for an extended period after the raid and then later disappeared from everyone’s friend lists suggesting account deletion. That lines up with another thing that wouldn’t make sense if you assumed he was deleted when/before the main evotar server went down being that, during The Final Interrogation, he’s drilled on “a few days of inactivity” at the end of his life. We see him the day before the raid iirc?

I think it also fits in nicely with him ostensibly neglecting surveilling the two targets I assumed to be Lea and Lukas, because he was definitely still doing that before the end of the game. Lea’s gone and we know he didn’t show his face in front of the First Scholars.

That being said!!! You’re clearly the C’Tron exert in the room and I’m largely here to absorb info on The Him. Fully aware of the possibility I think this bc I missed something you know.

dlc spoilers

btw, c'tron says he became aware of his situation "several weeks" before he was deleted. Unless theres a huge time gap im forgetting about (which i dont think there is? like theres vermillion wasteland but thats only 5 days iirc?), that wouldve happened before he even *met* lea and emilie, right? or VERY shortly after...?
