Hi again, I came back to shed light on a small detail I didn't see people comment here (or maybe you do, memory isn't my strongest trait...)
Spoilers below, read only if well past 0.95
Remember Ella's massacre on middleschool where she gets her 3rd evolution? Well, she says a couple of interesting things that could help expand the (not so heated now...) debate on her powers, specifically memory:
"Our eyes are still blind, we must feed so we can see"
"Only then can she begin her search"
"Memories visible, the One..."
If we consider this piece of monologue alongside the so much cited comment from Ella, on how memory isn't her strongest suit (I don't have access to the exact quote, feel free to quote it) I think we can draw some assumptions:
-The way Ella was able to identify good candidates to become superhumans was through vision, but more specifically seeing "memories". By that I mean, maybe when she saw someone, she could see some or all of their "memories" on the psychological sense, but the "genetic memories" as well (That's how she could asses Cristy and Emmily's bodies and minds to a certain degree) that allowing her to literally see genetic compatibility and epigenomics to a level we can't comprehend as humans without powers.
-At least one Apostle (3rd or 4th) knew her plans (or a part) at that time and was an board with them, helping Ella evolve and giving her guidance through consuming her classmates. That would explain Ella speaking in plural and referring to herself saying "her search", since she's currently in trance and connected to said Apostle. My personal guess would be 4th due the memory aspect being mentioned both through Ella's eyes and "memories visible", as well as the means of consuming people's brains and the pink vial. This also ties well with the Dead End (can't remember the number) where Ella calls the 4th and offers MC to her, showing certain degree of cooperation or necessity.
Now, the funky part, do you think the last quote "memories visible, the One" could refer to MC's eye (Arbiter), to "God", or something else?
Unrelated note again, but I noticed Spoilers can only be accessed with an account. Considering that and what I was quoting was on past updates, how should I use the spoiler tag from now on? Thanks a lot!
