Crazy aspect about the Evilious Chronicles: Of the 7 Deadly Sin Contractors, 5 of them are directly blood related to Duke Venomania (Counting himself as being related to the Contractor of Lust, himself). Duke Venomania: Is Duke Venomania, who had three children with his Harem. One with Mikulia Greeonio, One with Lukana Octo, and One with Maylis Beelzenia. Banica Conchita: a descendant of the Child of Duke Venomania and Maylis Beelzenia who was adopted out to the Conchita family of Royal retainers. Had a child with Carlos Marlon after a night together which got adopted back into the Beelzenian Royal family. Kayo Sudou: a descendant of the Child of Duke Venomania and Lukana Octo, also married (Husband survived, but lost his memory until after) and had a son (Died in the Enbizaka fire) who also shared the bloodline. She swapped bodies with Ma (Who was, until that point, still in Elluka's body, which was actually Lukana Octo's Body, meaning Kayo wound up with her ancestor's body), so technically not blood related during the murders per-say, but technically still a many times Great-Granddaughter of Venomania. Gallerian Marlon: The Son of Ma (in Kayo's original Body) while she was using the alias of "Elluka Clockworker", So technically the son of Kayo Sudou, and therefore a descendant of Duke Venomania. Nemesis Sudou: The Daughter of Gallerian Marlon and (His unknown mother) Ma under the Alias of "Kayo Sudou" (do I hear banjos?), So Daughter and granddaughter of Kayo Sudou, and therefore a descendant of Duke Venomania. This is not even getting into characters related to the story, in which case Venomania casts his influence across all 7 Deadly Sins, with Gast Venom (a descendant of Duke Venomania and Lukana Octo) serving Princess Rillian and fighting (and dying) against Germaine Avandonia (a descendant of Banica Conchita and therefore a descendant of Duke Venomania and Maylis Beelzenia), and Irena Clockworker having used Germaine's body under the alias "Julia Abelard", the First Santa Claus of Pere Noel, during the Gift of the Princess who Brought Sleep.

Overall, the duke has a lot of descendants, so many to the point he also marvels at that (like, in this chapter of the "master of the heavenly yard" novel, when Banica meets Sateriasis, towards its end).

Indeed, it's very peculiar how five of the main 'contractors' of the series are Venomania's descendants.

That's not simply coincidential...Gammon talks about that in a rather cryptic way, reminding of Sateriasis and Banica's sung parts in "seven crimes and punishments".

Sateriasis Venomania. Lamentably enough, he is my ancestor. He is a man who drowned in his lust, made a flower of malice bloom, and then spread its seeds across the world.” ("master of the heavenly yard" novel, chapter 2, scene 4).

Seven flowers flutter about, the crime is now unleashed. [...]

Seven seeds rain down, roots will stretch through the ground. ("seven crimes and punishments", song)

What does it mean though?

Like a flower of a certain species that spreads its seeds in order to generate more flowers of the same kind,

in the same way, Sateriasis (who became an "her" when he established his contract) passed down his "hers" by having children.

This implies that every single descendant of Venomania (not only the main 'contractors) has a genetic make-up of "hers" (that gets weaker from generation to generation, in his descendance*1) that in some people manifest more strongly than the others (especially if they do "contracts" themselves, like the the main 'contractors' in which their 'hers' disposition is enhanced a lot).

Moreover, that is something that was deliberately schemed by Irina when she had Cherubim engage in the "lust contract".

My other goal had been to increase my number of comrades using the “vessels of deadly sin”. I had successfully achieved this once in Venomania’s time. The descendants of Lukana Octo in particular are still around in various places even now.

One of them was “sixth, venom”, Gatt Coulomb.

*1 However, it seems that as time has passed the “HER” blood has begun to grow weaker. It was true of Germaine Avadonia, but with Gatt too I could hardly see the “HER” gene in him at all. Though it seems it isn’t entirely missing, based on the loyalty that he’s shown me. ("fifth pierrot", recollection c).

*1 This novel segment shows how the "her" gene in the descendants of Venomania tends to weaken with the passing of generations in-series.

Aside from "fifth pierrot", you can read about this aspect of Irina's plans in the "lunacy of the duke Venomania novel" (you can read that in multiple instances, at least four places, one link per word).

Another peculiarity of Venomania's descendants is that they don't just inherit "hers" from the duke: they also inherit "magical potential" and imperfect forms of demonic powers.

In the series, contractors gain "magical potential" because of the contracts, on their own.

This was first seen with Prim Marlon, a 'sloth' contractor.

That is true for Sateriasis as well, as you can read here.

Apperently, Sateriasis could pass down the "magical potential" he had obtained by the 'contract' to his descendants.

That can explain why Germaine (descendant of Sateriasis through the Maylis bloodline) had an innate "high magical potential" (it can also be the double effect of being the descendant of two contractors: Sateriasis and Banica, as Irina suggests, talking about her body while controlling it).

Hers is the best body that I’ve had so far. To say the least she inherits from both Sateriasis Venomania, and Banica Conchita. Surprisingly enough, she was hiding very strong latent magical power. If she had been born into a different era, Germaine would have become a very capable sorceress. ("fifth pierrot", recollection c).

As for the "imperfect forms of demonic powers" I have mentioned, you can tell that Gakuga being able to shape shift into the appearence of Gilles Derais, just like Venomania's demonic form can be explained with the fact that Sateriasis passes the traits of the "demon of lust" in the series through the generations.

Try comparing this with the description of Gilles Derais in the scap short story.

Is "re_birthday" a metaphor for Allen's imprisonment and death? References from "cloture of yellow"

So...today, I was reading "cloture of yellow" once again in order to tackle an ask I received two or three weeks ago (of which I won't spoil the contents of, for now eheheh) and...now I want to show something interesting in the meanwhile.

As you all probably know, after Allen disguises himself as Riliane by exchanging clothes with her, he gets captured by the revolutionary army that has taken over Riliane's castle and then put into prison, waiting for his execution.

What is so special about those scenes?

Well, the particular choice of words that are used reference a particular song that has always been notoriously difficult to interpret within the fandom: “re_birthday”.

That’s the reason why I’ve been thinking: what if “re_birthday” was originally supposed to be a song about Allen’s imprisonment and death?

Let’s look into this, shall we?

For this post, read the links to the novel scenes I've put, otherwise that will be hard to understand this post.

Plus, once you've finished reading if you have questions, please ask me about them.

Let's first recall the first lines of the song…

When I woke, I was alone

In a room smeared black

Not able to see, not able to hear

I tremble alone in the dark ("re_birthday" song).

Now, compare all of this to the following excerpt from the novel about Allen’s time in the dungeon while masquerading as Riliane.

When I awoke, I was alone.

[...]

This jail so dark that it was like it was smeared black.

[...]

I couldn’t see anything.

I couldn’t hear anything.

[...]

I was trembling. Alone in the darkness. ("cloture of yellow", chapter 4, scene 1).

Very similar, isn't it?

Those continuous references can lead us to think that “re_birthday” takes place when Allen is imprisoned, right before his execution.

Let's go on, though...

In the ceiling there’s a big hole

Looking closely, there’s a huge spring in there

From beyond that, there suddenly resounds

A ghastly, mysterious voice

"Sinful boy

From this point on you will never

Be brought from this room", it said… ("re_birthday" song).

Unlike the other lines I mentioned, those are not actually quoted in the novel. Nevertheless...the concept thereof is still present.

Let’s first have a look at the symbolism used in the song first, though: that may help us understand the conveyed concept.

Let's start from here:

“In the ceiling, there’s a big hole

Looking closely, there’s a huge spring in there” ("re_birthday" song).

If I were you, I wouldn’t take those concepts literally: there is no actual spring on the ceiling of the prison cell where Allen stays. There is no mention of this in “cloture of yellow”.

I would rather pay attention to the symbolic meaning of the “huge spring”.

For those who have followed the “evillious chronicles” for enough time, you may know that the imageries of “gears” and “springs” are often used to convey the abstract concept of “fate” and “destiny”.

Going on with the song’s lines:

From beyond that, there suddenly resounds

A ghastly, mysterious voice

"Sinful boy

From this point on you will never

Be brought from this room", it said. ("re_birthday" song).

As you can see, the spring (“fate”) is connected to a “ghastly, mysterious voice” that casts punishment on Allen, condemning him to “never be brought from this room”.

What does this mean? Well, it seems that the “spring” (symbolizing fate) is connected to “the voice” (symbolizing “judgment” and “punishment”).

Matching the two symbols together, we obtain the concept of “karma”, which is a cherished concept for akuno. I have talked about it in the last post briefly when talking about the “Lachesis naturalis” and the “Nemesis divina”: fate (natural circumstances, the chain of cause-effect of events) in the series is directed by the logic according to which “punishment” must succeed a “crime”.

Moreover, the “ghastly mysterious voice” is most likely supposed to be Eve Moonlit, which, in akuno’s original plans, was supposed to have the role that now Irina has as Gallerian’s “daughter” and the “master of the court”; you can see how the role of the character (judgment) can match the idea of “karma” (punishment) of akuno’s worldview.

What I think those lines are trying to convey is that chain of cause-effect of the events is directed in such a way to produce the “retribution” of Allen’s crimes for Riliane’s sake: his imprisonment and death.

That said, I would go on with quoting the song:

In that moment I recalled all of my memories

The many sins piled upon myself

Along with the reason I’m here, in the end I realized

That I can’t return to back then anymore ("re_birthday" song).

With those lines, we can have a perspective of Allen’s attitude towards the realization of his own fate: he understands that the “many sins he piled upon himself” produced the outcome of his punishment in the novel…but, not only that.

Allen’s imprisonment and death are not just the product of “karma” in the series, but a product of Allen’s own wishes and purpose.

As you read the "cloture of yellow" novel, you can easily see how Allen puts Riliane's wishes before anything else.

In his mind, Allen puts his twin sister’s protection and happiness on a pedestal, letting his moral compass go astray.

For that reason, the boy gets to “pile many sins upon himself”.

As the many sins pile up, the devotion for Riliane gets stronger, while, on the other hand, the moral repulsion towards committing immoral for her sake acts diminishes. That is what Leonhart means by “contract with a demon” when he describes Allen’s idolatry towards his twin sister in the novel.

Well, can’t do anything ‘bout it now…but…there’s a meaning to this…it’s like making a contract with a demon….It’ll make you stronger…and…it’ll drive you mad.” (cloture of yellow, chapter 1, section 2, scene 7).

As the novel goes on, you can see how Allen keeps his proposition to protect Riliane until the last one of the implications of it, as he gets to take her place in the execution.

I personally find the conversation happening between Gast and the boy during the revolution remarkable: as the first attempts to flee the palace, taking note of the revolutionary army overwhelming the opposition, Allen pays the mercenary the entirety of his savings in order to persuade him into keeping protecting Riliane.

Gast is obviously surprised at such enormous devotion in the defense of a princess who is hated by everyone around her and even according to the mercenary himself “she is about to receive her just desserts."

That’s when Allen talks for the first time about taking Riliane’s consequences of her actions on himself.

Surprisingly, after saying that, the boy also reflects on whether or not that also is part of the “contract with a demon” Leonhart speaks about before his death.

Why does Allen reflect on that, though?

Because that’s the arriving point of Allen’s devotion for Riliane: as the boy engages in his actions to “protect” his sister, granting her wishes while enabling her in her own deeds and her evil regime, he becomes even more convinced and determined about his goals.

After all, why should he give up now, after the lives sacrificed for the cause and after sinking his kingdom into despair by enabling her sister’s actions? As Allen puts it (referencing Leonhart) in more instances in the novel: he could no longer sheathe his sword once he had drawn it. In order not to make everything that he has done up to that point vain, Allen would persevere in his measures to defend Riliane until the very end.

And for that reason, now he’s in that prison, after having persevered in his quest until the end. Allen knows he can’t go back to the life he has led before; otherwise, all the lives stolen and all the sacrifices would be for nothing. If Allen decided not to take Riliane’s place at the guillotine, the revolutionary army would go find her instead, making everything he has done up to that point vain, as I’ve told.

As proof of Allen’s determination and wishes to protect Riliane until the end, Allen refuses Germaine’s proposal to get out of prison; in his mind, the boy thinks thus:

It’s hopeless, Germaine. That’s impossible now.

In your mind, maybe we’re all the same people that we were before.

But the truth is…

Everything has changed. (cloture of yellow, chapter 4, scene 5) ...

…which is connected to the “re_birthday” lines:

In that moment I recalled all of my memories

The many sins piled upon myself

Along with the reason I’m here, in the end I realized

That I can’t return to back then anymore ("re_birthday" song).

“Everything has changed”; Allen realizes that for the “sins he has piled upon himself” and “for the sake of protecting the princess” he can’t return to the life he has had until now anymore.

But there is more…Allen not only refuses Germaine’s pleas to start a new life, but he also provokes Germaine and Kyle into anger by confessing and claiming (in truth or not, depending on the case) the murders of Leonhart and Michaela. In this way, Allen thinks, Germaine and Kyle will get on board with his plan and will desire is execution, as well.

And here is the connection to the next part of the “re_birthday” song.

“When I came to, both my arms were clad in red manacles

That is surely the color of someone’s spilled blood

As for both my ankles, they have blue-colored chains

That is surely the color of someone’s tears ("re_birthday" song).”

Now, this part is interesting.

Until now, I’ve talked about the way Allen’s imprisonment and death are the results of “karma” (the inner works of the third period) and Allen’s own choices and wishes.

But that’s not the end of it. Allen’s fate (particularly his death) is connected to two more variables.

Let’s first have a look at the symbolism in re_birthday, though: “chains” and “manacles” are both objects that bind a person to something.

What is that “something” in this context? Fate, as that is the subject of the song.

What are those “blue chains” and “red manacles” supposed to symbolize? Kyle and Germaine.

Let me explain why.

First of all, there are clear references to the colors Kyle and Germaine are associated with: blue and red. That is not a coincidence.

Let’s go past that, though, and let’s read the same scene where Allen has his confrontations with Germaine and Kyle.

In there, in fact, Germaine and Kyle find out about the “princess”’ true identity, as you can see…but, why do they eventually decide to have him executed as Allen? In which way do they seal his fate?

As for Kyle, we don’t really get the actual confrontation he has with Allen, aside from an indirect summary of that given by Allen himself when he confronts Germaine.

As you keep on reading the scene, apparently, upon finding out about Allen’s identity, Kyle decides to have him executed in order to avoid scandal over the fact the true princess has escaped, among the general public.

But I don’t think that’s the real reason for Kyle’s decision. That’s most likely what he would say as an official, as a king, but there is another (real) personal reason.

Allen, in fact, tells Kyle something that gets him to his core: he says to him that he has killed Michaela.

Why? Well, consider the fact that Kyle takes part in the revolution for the purpose of avenging Michaela. If you read this other scene, in fact, Kyle presents himself for the first time to the revolutionary group clutching Michaela’s shell pendant stained with her blood.

Upon hearing that, Kyle completely loses all control, violating his country’s own policies of non-violence against prisoners by giving Allen a big slap to the face.

I really think it’s actually Allen’s false confession of having killed Michaela the thing that has driven Kyle to decide on his execution.

Obviously, that is a symbol of Kyle’s desire of avenging his loved one’s death.

That said, it wouldn’t be out of place for Kyle to want to execute Allen because of his false confession of being Michaela’s murderer.

On his part, Allen delivers a false confession in order to reach his purpose of protecting Riliane, as I’ve told you previously.

So, in a nutshell: Kyle decides to have Allen executed (thus contributing to sealing his fate) because of Allen’s false confession about Michaela, because of Kyle’s “tears” over Michaela’s death, and his desire for revenge that have led him to partake in the revolution against Riliane in the first place. That’s how Kyle also contributes to sealing Allen to his fate, acting as “blue chains symbolizing someone’s tears”, as “re_birthday” goes.

Now, what about Germaine?

Here the reasoning is similar to what I have told you about Kyle: why does Germaine decide to have Allen executed, despite knowing he’s not the real princess?

You can see there how Germaine wants to convince Allen to get out of prison at all costs and start a new life together.

Because Allen confessed how he has killed Leonhart to her.

For this case, the novel actually gives the dialogue of the interaction that occurs between Allen and Germaine.

Allen, as a response, confesses his murder of Leonhart while mocking and accusing Germaine of the fact she has organized the revolution and has used many people for the sake of carrying out her own personal revenge plot.

In a way, Allen is right about it.

Germaine has been discontent with Riliane’s selfishness for a long while and she would admire her adoptive father for sticking to helping the populace the princess clearly has never cared about. Despite all of this, Germaine has started taking action against her and plotting the revolution only after Leonhart’s death (read here).

This explains why Germaine decides to have Allen executed: her deal about the revolution has always been revenge for Leonhart’s death, and with the boy’s death, that desire can be satisfied.

This is how Germaine also seals Allen’s fate, acting like “red manacles symbolizing someone’s blood”.

In short, so far, the song conveys all the factors contributing to Allen’s fate of imprisonment and execution: Allen’s determination and wishes to protect Riliane, Germaine’s plot to avenge Leonhart, Kyle’s desire to avenge Michaela, and, at a “higher level”, the third period’s workings of “karma” for Allen’s crimes.

Now, let’s go on with the re_birthday song.

“Lu li la lu li la”, the song I came to hear

I wonder who is singing this lullaby…?

How much time has passed?

I asked of the unmoving spring

Only the singing voice

That I’m hearing out of nowhere heals me (“re_birthday” song).

This is a part of the song that is referenced in the chapter about Allen’s imprisonment and death in “cloture of yellow”, as well.

How much time had passed?

[...]

Occasionally, I could hear a faint voice singing through those boards. A yet childish voice. No, perhaps that was just my imagination. It was so faint I couldn’t tell. I thought that maybe some child was singing to themselves while playing around the palace somewhere.

[...]

Before I knew it, I was singing too. I sang a lullaby that my mother had often sung to me, when I was very little.

The song was good. It let me forget my anxieties. I would keep singing like this forever. (cloture of yellow, chapter 4, scene 3).

Now, the song gets interesting because it mentions the clockwork lullaby (after all, “re_birthday” is part of the “clockwork lullaby” series).

Surprisingly, there is no actual mention of the “lu li la” pattern in the excerpt I have just quoted (there will be one in another scene, though. I will talk about that moment soon).

Anyway, I find those quotes from “re_birthday” and the novel interesting because they mention the first clockwork lullaby, specifically the part of the lullaby supposedly being able to “heal” one’s heart.

“Lu li la lu li la, can this lullaby

Heal your heart, I wonder?” (“clockwork lullaby 1” song).

But, that’s not only that.

Those quotes are not only interesting because of that reference. In order to understand more, I’m going to quote more of the “re_birthday” song.

One day I realized

The true meaning of that song

And I added on new words

To the lullaby (“re_birthday” song).

Now, about this particular sentence: “add new words to the lullaby”...that is a general expression attached to more than one particular context in the series. I plan to talk about its meaning on a separate post.

With this, the song enters in the deep of the “clockwork lullaby lore”.

I have previously made a post about the general information about the clockwork lullaby. There I have stated that the “clockwork lullaby” is a song that describes fate and the passage of time.

For that reason, I’m not going to go in detail about the general meaning of that sentence within the series, but, I’m still going to tell what those particular quotes are referencing in the context of Allen’s imprisonment and death.

The “cloture of yellow” novel references Elluka’s “prophecy” about the fall of Riliane’s reign. You can read it in this scene.

Without going into detail about the entire content of the “prophecy”, in its final part Elluka predicts Riliane’s execution at the guillotine.

Despite that, Elluka also mentions how there could be a possibility of an “irregularity” of the prophecy; in short, fate can be changed, even partially.

“I have nothing left to say, Allen. Take care of your big sister. If you can change her fate, then do so. If it’s possible to cause an 'irregularity’ in the prophecy…perhaps you’ll be able to manage it?” (cloture of yellow, chapter 2, section 2, scene 1).

Well, Allen, as the “irregular” he is in the series actually manages to change fate a little bit, having himself be executed instead of Riliane (and he mentions that, in this scene where he dies).

In changing fate, Allen has added “new words to the lullaby”.

Here’s a catch, though: the song states about Allen having learned about the meaning of the lullaby, while throughout “cloture of yellow”, Allen never gets to understand it: Allen changes fate without really understanding the workings of the lullaby.

Maybe that’s a point akuno ended up not developing at the time of the release of “cloture of yellow”; maybe he planned to develop that part of the song, sometime after that novel.

That being said…I will now go on with the song, once again.

“From a gap in the spring

A small light fell down

This is, surely

–A message you sent me–” (“re_birthday” song).

This part is both fascinating and problematic at the same time because it conveys its link to “regret message”. Akuno himself stated the presence of such links between those two songs in the past: when akuno first released “re_birthday”, he also gave more context about it on a blog page. Here’s a little excerpt:

“The title is "birthday" meaning birthday.

“Rebirth" means resurrection or revival

and "re" in the sense of an answer song to "[Re] regret message".

I combined these elements in the song.” (translated with deep-l translator).

How do the two songs link to one another, though? What is the meaning behind the lines in “re_birthday” I have mentioned?

Here comes the problematic side of the lines.

It’s difficult to point at some scene in “cloture of yellow” in which Allen actually “responds” to Riliane talking in “regret message” by the sea, mainly for the reason that the boy is not there with her, nor he knows about her message in the bottle addressed to him.

Despite that, in “cloture of yellow”, there is a link between the content of “re_birthday” and “regret message”.

In order to understand what is that about, I would have a nice look at the latter song, in particular: what Allen is supposed to reply to in “re_birthday” that is found in “regret message”?

I think Allen is supposed to give the answer to the last line in the song, which I believe is the actual content of the letter that Riliane puts into the glass bottle to be drafted away by the sea:

“If only we could be reborn…”

Obviously, Riliane wishes to meet Allen again…but, how does the latter “respond” to this in re_birthday?

With the last few lines of the song:

"the spring that began to turn recites quietly

“Your sins will never be forgiven”

But a word called water, a word called evil

We shall change those into a song

The red manacles fall off and address me

“After this you will be reborn”

The blue shackles fall off and talk to me

“Today is your new birthday”

Everything spins and dyes white

I’ll go to see you very soon." (“re_birthday” song).

This part can also be difficult to explain easily since it involves some “clockwork lullaby” lore; in particular sentences similar to “but a word called water, a word called evil, we shall change those into a song” are found in a bunch of other places in the series. That kind of catchphrase deserves a post of its own too.

To put it in a nutshell, I interpret the spring that recites “your sins will never be forgiven” as fate hindering Allen from meeting Riliane, from reincarnating to meet her (maybe as part of the karma? Aside from his imprisonment and death, I mean)-

Despite that, Allen will manage to overcome fate’s hindrance caused by his sin (“evil”) and the physical distance between him and Riliane (“water”, which can symbolize the medium Riliane uses to convey her messages to him in “regret message”).

So…Allen once again manages to defy the fate that would keep him from meeting Riliane, and, consequently, the object that used to bind the boy to his fate also vanish (the “manacles” and the “shackles”).

After that, the boy is free to reincarnate, promising Riliane to “go to see her soon”.

That would be Allen's response to Riliane’s wish to meet again in “regret message”

“If only we could be reborn.” -Riliane

“I will go to see you soon.” -Allen

But…how about the novel “cloture of yellow”? How does it convey the same lines of “re_birthday”?

Well, here’s the catch: it doesn’t really. Allen doesn’t know of Riliane whereabouts until after his death and he can’t know about the messages his sister writes to her, while in prison and later on the scaffold.

Nevertheless, there seems to be a contact between the novel and “regret message” (albeit not in the same exact way as it’s connected to the “re_birthday” song, hence, as a response to “regret message”).

Let’s have a look at this, in the scene where Allen dies.

Upon sitting on the scaffold on the day of his execution, Allen goes into panic, being afraid of death. After that he hears the “lu li la” pattern, about which the boy thinks he’s just a hallucination (I really doubt that and I have my actual views about what really happens there, but that’s what he believes). After that, Allen experiences a vision of a memory in which he and Riliane are children. In that experience, Riliane states her wish to be reborn (albeit as a horse that time, but still…kid games). After re-living that memory Allen also wishes to be reborn to meet Riliane one again; in fact, his last thoughts before passing away are:

Farewell, Riliane

if only we could be reborn

let’s play again then, okay? (“cloture of yellow”, chapter 4, scene 7).

Does that remind you of something? He expresses the same thing as Riliane in “regret message”, not as a proposition, like in “I’ll go see you soon”, but as an alignment of their wishes. They both want to see each other, again.

Moreover, I theorize that the “gap in the spring from which Riliane’s message pops out” in the “re_birthday” song can be the illusion Allen experiences before his death.

The “spring” is a metaphor of “fate” and the passage of time;

the illusion is triggered by the “lu li la” pattern, which means it can be the product of one of the “clockwork lullaby” spells;

those spells are able to access the very fabric of space and time in the series, making a character able to know the unknown, or “play” past memories (like it happens in the evillious “akashic recorders”, that are based on the “clockwork lullaby”);

that said, the “gap in the spring” would be the alteration of time that lets Allen relive those memories and convey Riliane’s wish to be reborn (albeit in a distorted way).

That is just my speculation, though.

In conclusion, there seems to be a 1:1 correspondence between the novel and “re_birthday” only in the first part of the song; the other parts are only alluded to in the novel, probably meaning that they would have been expanded on after “cloture of yellow”.

“Re_birthday” is indeed a song which meaning has been changed as time passed because of changes of mind from akuno. Currently “re_birthday” has a totally different meaning, based on the plot around the “master of heavenly yard" novel.

I know this post can be really confusing, if you have questions, please ask me about them, as I've told at the start of this.
