AUSTIN: And Samol’s breathing slows. And he leans in and kisses Samot on the forehead. And he reaches out with his other hand and puts it on your shoulder, Hadrian. And then he whispers something to Samot. And I don’t know that you hear it. Samol can make it so that his words are not for you.  ART: Yeah, that’s fine.   AUSTIN: And there are��� three moments of realization on Samot’s face. The first is… anger. The second is love. And the third is cunning resolution. He has an idea. ART: ...That’s great.  AUSTIN: And his father collapses. (Spring in Hieron 15: The Breath of Hieron)

reading transcripts & the stuff that they talked about in the palisade finale of divines just existing on a different scale which makes it hard to know what justice could look like regarding them / their actions is also just in hieron. they did this in hieron. it's what samot was talking about at the very end of spring...

JACK: I cannot believe that Keith gets to turn into a hundred birds and swarm a man, and I can’t show someone a business card.

the sequence of Fero getting back to the Last University, the scene with the hug (which is sweet!!!), and Ephrim's bond being "Fero is always welcome, but never expected." (also sweet!!!) to Fero 'allergic to authority figures' Feritas immediately going ""Lord" Ephrim thinks helping means being in charge." will never not be funny to me. but also i was soooo OTL listening to SiH and people not having Any positive bonds with Fero for a good while there

DRE: Austin, what do we know about the Divine Dust in this universe? [...] AUSTIN: [...] You know, I think that this is a classic you’ve spotted part of the failure system, right? The failure of the system is you don’t know—it’s not here. You’re reaching for that information and the information won’t show up, it doesn’t let itself be part of these worlds. It—[chuckles dryly] [...] AUSTIN: It can’t imagine a good version of itself anymore. [...] Austin: And so it doesn’t let itself be part of your imagined worlds that are supposed to be, like, tricking you into staying there. You know? (PALISADE 34: Seize the Chance Pt. 5)

I found the Dust moment that made me think of Samot, though he really did push the "an ideal world is one where I don't exist" quite a bit further

Austin (as Samot): I’m really glad that he had you. That- that you had each other through the winter. It sounds- it sounds like it was a diffic- a difficult time for you both, and one made brighter for the other’s presence. (Spring in Hieron 18: A Simple Answer)

just made a noise like i'm taking damage

AUSTIN: [...] And to some degree, you sense that there is a divine spark in you. And that maybe one, maybe your choice, your like- sorry, your abilities come from a sam- a similar spark in Severea and Galenica that brought Maelgwyn into the world. If not, you know- if not a lack of confidence, it is- or a desire for confidence, maybe it was a desire for the sort of intense and radical devotion to change that you carry that they cannot, you know? They are the most like, ‘we just have to keep things together.’ Galenica and- and Severea for years were just like- just gonna keep on stitching this same plain shut over and over and over again. And then someone like you was born, and you were given these powers from them. And I think you sense a little echo of that here as you see that you- you almost do that to these frogs, making- making them carry your dejection as they hop through the vineyard. (Spring in Hieron 30: A Safer Second)

I've seen it mentioned a lot but had forgotten where the "divine spark" thing comes from..... really good scene. I also forgot about these frogs carrying a small sadness for the rest of their small lives .

i was reading the transcript of feros & samols last talk in SiH16 again and i did not remember this at all... but it literally hurts so bad “He’s gonna help. Because that’s who he is.”
