One of my old crackpot theories for the ending (that my brain don't want me sharing) is that the girls will sacrifice themselves in the final battle and that we will get a choice whether we will revive the girls with the gems (will lead to Idriel turning against us and causing her to scatter the gems once more, forcing Orion to delete Idriel and assume the mantle of Ulysses CEO and keep the VRMMO running to gather the gems again) or open Acheron and let the dead (including the girls) cross over into the afterlife (which will lead to the girls trying to cross over but they are stopped by their deceased loved ones showing up and telling them it's not their time to go to the other side yet, giving time for Caly to use the last of her power to send Orion and the girls home but closing Eternum to them until the day comes when their natural lives expire and they meet in the afterlife once again). So seeing those lines from the Syndicate guy kinda shook me, not gonna lie.In the ''final'' part/segment of the 0.8, Orion talks with a ''Blind Merchant'' who is selling statues of Psyches(Idriel), later on Orion will understand that the man is yet another member of the Syndicate trying to ''help'' him..(??)
The man will talk about ''Hyril'ar'' ''The Genocide'', ''The loss of the ones you love'' and last ''The end of everything'', and once Orion will break the chain, he will remain alone..
Probably these hints are what will we experience in 0.9, 0.10, 0.11 and 0.12, knowing that 0.13 will probably be the last update to Eternum(Cari's old words, not mine)
So we may not have experienced an heart-wrenching moments with the girls discovering orion's death, but we will probably see HIS towards the ones he loves... (maybe the syndicate's letter with that greek formula will come handy in this scenario... well to much to think for now)
Still, given how the cliffhanger from the last update resolved itself, that might not end up being the case and we might end up with a happier outcome by the end of the story (though the destruction of Hyril'ar might still end up happening (my crackpot theory on this is that Thanatos will end up finding a way to Hyril'ar and start a full-on genocide in the process), if only because it could force Orion and Caly to depart that realm and back to Eternum (or the real world).
