#i don't really know how things will start to unfold if firefly and march are connected but it's def not a bad theory!

hi !!! same person who sent the (presumably) last anon about hsr

sorry for rambling again but none of my friends have gotten to penacony yet and i need to talk about it

also i really like your thought about how march 7th might've chose to have her memories taken !!! i hadn't really considered that it was her choice, and to me it makes the fact that she's recording everything so she has something if it happens again all the more heartbreaking. like she's recording everything so she can at least have something from her past but she chose to do it herself :(((

tbh i didn't and still don't have much speculation, only a few half-baked sentences that i've thrown out, including that maybe she and firefly are maybee connecting in some way? im kind of just throwing things at the wall and hoping it sticks but i think firefly mentioned something about an ice cabin and i was just like "!!! something about march 7th??" also with the fact that disguised sparkle called her march, but that also might've just been a hint to it being not-sampo

i know it's probably unlikely but if firefly and march are connected i would love to see how they go about it

after doing black swan's companion mission and learning a bit more about how she operates as a memokeeper, i feel even more strongly about the idea that it was march's decision to have her memories sealed away. Tbh

it's just like... black swan showed she has no qualms about briefly manipulating people's memories to her advantage, but she always straightens them out after she takes her leave. she seems super reluctant to permanently alter and even capture/record memories without explicit permission. there's still a lot about the garden we don't know, so she may be an outlier - but i doubt it? since she holds such a high position and has gained so much of fuli's favor

so unless march was some sort of tyrant like tizocic and her memories had to be forcibly sealed away for the good of the universe (WHICH I? DOUBT????) i'm pretty sure the garden is just following through on something she asked them to do in her past life. otherwise they would have relented in Some Way. at least

now your idea of firefly being connected to march's past is interesting! i got your ask correcting yourself about the icy medical cabin thing but there issssss their similar eye colors to consider

like that feels decently significant. in some way. hoyoverse same face is a plague but they don't repeat unique design motifs like this unless it's on purpose. also, i'm 85% sure the sampo that mistakenly called firefly march 7th was the real sampo! idk if you had done black swan's companion mission when you sent this, but the real sampo was on penacony too. and he was working with sparkle for a bit, so... idk i just don't think sparkle disguised herself as him until That cutscene. like i don't think she's ever been to belobog so she wouldn't have been able to dream about natasha's office. and whatnot

sooooo that's something too! although like. it is sampo we're talking about. i don't think he was paying much attention to march's appearance but the physical similarities between the two are there. it's not as immediately noticeable and eyebrow-raising as, say, bronya and silver wolf (BTW WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THAT? GOD. actually i think it may be a nod to hi3 and the 500 versions [?] of bronyas in that game and that's why it was never elaborated on. but HELP) but like. they're THERE. so. much to consider........
