So a half Chapter dedicated to our most adorable Merchant. As already assumed from the game her life was kinda ... shite.
Extra sad how her dialog says she was thrown away when we can actually see her twin trying to grab her but she seems to have interpreted her hand slipping as her letting go.
On another note for some reason I was sure Hati had longer hair. Guess I was hallucinating again.

Even more to it, they just confirmed a theory that Yoyo originated from Gardina. And we can even speculate that Yodo was her sister, and Yoyo is technically a Mist. This manga casually giving some crazy details that the community been breaking their heads against is just crazy.

...you're right! I didn't even realize her ability to hide is similar as Yodo's ability as a Mist.
Uh ... I suddenly kinda feel bad because Yodo pretty much "always" will die if you follow her story. Either killed by Vorg or by us when she attacks us.

Yeah. Why cant I just collect them all into the Broodchamber T.T

Becouse Gilli will tear Vorg apart the moment she realises that Vorg was the one who pulled the trigger on Gypro Queen and hunted seedlings to extinction.

That's honestly one of the stranger things the manga needs to clarify.

From what the game tells, Seedlings were Nehma's personal agents of chaos. But ever since Nehma got turned into a lawn ornament after Eden's uprising, she was presumably put out of commission for a while. The player Seedling seems to be implied to be the first Seedling she created after a long while and managing to finally recuperate enough strength while being a BBQ stick. And even then, Nehma seems to have only scrounged enough strength to only create one: The player Seedling.

But the thing is, knowledge of Nehma herself and by extension, the Seedlings, doesn't seem to be common knowledge among Nymphs. Which means that the existence of Nehma (and thus the uprising against her) was likely only known to the elite/older Nymphs of the colonies. Eden's uprising against Nehma was likely a coalition by multiple colonies. And Vorg, probably part of the forces that Gypro-Verde (or Gardina, if the split already happened by that time) contributed. Nehma would've obviously used her Seedlings to defend herself and was likely the main enemy force that the coalition fought. And that's why Vorg was aware of them. She likely killed quite a few of them during the fight against Nehma. Hell, said coalition probably went out of their way to exterminate all Seedlings still wandering around Hod in the aftermath.

What I want clarified is how much time passed between Nehma getting hoisted up as a flag and the start of the game. Notable historical events like the fall of Nagara, the Assassination of Queen Gypro-Verde (and the later disillusionment of Vorg with Gardina), etc seems to have only happened after Nehma's "death". All that stuff didn't happen in just an afternoon. The extreme enshittening of Hod began with the flashpoint that is the death of its "God".

And hell, you can even wonder about why the Nymphs decided to kick off Nehma from her throne anyway. Is it really just a case of "We don't like a shadow puppetmaster manipulating everything tyranically behind the scenes because we want muh liberty and freedom (so that we can enforce our own brand of tyranny lmao)". Or did the Nymphs of the colonies have a more personal agenda against her?

I belive Seedlings lost their way to reincarnate when the Node tree network went down with death of Nehma. We are not just a seedling but a potentially elevated version of one with proxy admin rights, that even Her Right Eye recognised, basically choosing us as the new admin of Hod, and these proxy rights are also how we reanimate Node trees.

We only get hinted that Gardina was actively hunting seedlings, multiple times by Gilli. Vorg fought seedlings a lot. If we aggro and die to her, she even comments that "theyre not making Seedlings as tough as they used to be" or sumshi.

I belive the Gardina split happened after Nehmas removal. They got their Nehma Vestige from Gypro as a war trophy, that's why we find it specifically in Gardina's trophy Vault. Prime Gardina was influenced by one of the survivor seedlings, and then Gardina proceeded to destroy all seedlings so such matricide would never happen again to herself, and by consequence that also made new Queens in Hod completely impossible, as tge system depended on Seedlings stirring the pot.

Im also really wondering how they take off frames, becouse a vast majority of them require detaching legs to fit.
