May I shorten your waiting by another fan theory?

...sooo, I've watched "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" recently. And there is this very, very significant opening scene, where Rosencrantz keeps flipping coin and it always comes out heads. And this goes on for a while across multiple scenes, until... until the two actually become a part of the story, by which, however, their fate is sealed. They, theoretically, could change their fates before they get their first tails, but they don't know anything about their role in the story (or that they even are in a story, although they do fing the constant heads odd), but once they get tails, they are already inside and their trajectory is set.

What if Idriel's coin flipping is a reference to that? And what if the first "tails" will mean that either
- Orion and the girls are past the point of no return (at least one of the characters, but possibly all except Orion being stuck inside Eternum)
or
- that the groundwork has been set and past this point, events will just unfold based on the choices the player has previously made?

(As always, if this has been mentioned before, feel free to delete this post.)

It's definitely possible, but I think the theory that the coin thing represents the changing of outcomes even when they've been the same every time before is more likely. This has all, on some level, happened before and it's a question of whether Orion will break the cycle.
