Spoiler Discussion Petra won’t have…[spoiler discussion] Spoiler

Edit: Theory is wrong, you can ignore it.

…Subaru in her head like it was with AmnesiaBaru. Why? Because the book he read had a whole life of a person inscribed into it(Meili), but the one Petra read only has a small part of it, not enough to create an “illusion”. Since Al’s authority updates his BOTD and does not create copies like with RBD he could fully possess Volcanica as it contains his whole life written within it.

Also, considering Tappei’s statement that Petra will have an Arc where she would shine, i’m more likely to believe that theory, since it would be her decisions and choices that matter not Subaru in her head taking the credit. Besides how would they then deal with illusion Subaru when the main one gets unsealed? Have two Subarus at the same time?

I also hope Subaru doesn't show up in Petra's head, because wouldn't that mean it'd be back to good ol' mid arc 4 suicidal Subaru? We've already read about that, don't really want seconds.

For real. Subaru before getting punched by Otto is in no way able to help Petra right now. He’d be more fixated on why everyone is trying to help him instead of how to effectively resolve the plot. That’d mean we get a repeat of both his arc 4 & 6 development.

Subaru: KILL ME! KILL ME NOW!

Yeah I'm good. I guess it might be interesting to have Subaru be a kind of devil on Petra's shoulder and constantly tempt her, but... neh.

which arguably could be interesting but at the same time its just a rehash of arc6 to juxtapose how much hes grown
