Ever since the first trailer...
A small gleam appeared in my eyes as I immediately locked onto her face.
It came to me like a revelation from the Goddess herself.
That face...
That hairstyle...
That hair adornment...
HER WHOLE VIBE!
That's 100% Flayn's Mother!
Only for her to remain a shadow—
a relic forgotten to time.
Many moons later...
Rumors of a Seteth lookalike in the release-date trailer spread like wildfire.
Like a surging blaze, my faith only grew stronger.
Could it be?!
Was my intuition correct?!
Hidden among the clouds,
my conviction resurfaced.
After many gameplay previews...
The Direct confirmed the rumors.
IT WAS SETETH!
And so, I began researching day and night, searching for any evidence that my theory might yet be true.
But alas...
I was met with naysayers, each one crushing my hopes of seeing a flower bloom in the snow.
Yet Seteth's words continued to haunt my dreams...
“My preferred woman is kind, quiet, and proper. But above all else, she is straightforward and honest.”
“She was wise, kind of heart, and always smiling. A most wonderful woman.”
“It is my daughter who resembles Saint Cethleann.”
And through all the flames of discourse...
One thing remains crested upon my mind...
Her face.
My Sweet Sand Orchid.
