Have A Nice Day!

As we saw in Darknight’s Memoir, taking a fallen Sarkaz’ gear, especially their weapon, means to succeed them, to inherit their name and perhaps more. To take a fallen Sarkaz’ weapon is a big responsibility, something charged with meaning.

I went back to look at the Arknights trailers, and a particular scene in the second trailer finally makes more sense:

At one point, Amiya says “We were betrayed” while we see an unknown woman running a sword through her. The logical explanation would be to think, obviously, that this woman, whoever she is, betrayed Amiya and wounded her at some point… But, that woman is clearly Theresa.

Her hair, horns, and clothing match.

And that sword, we’ve seen it:

It’s the sword that Amiya materialized out of nowhere to kill the first Skullshatterer, when he was bumrushing past the Rhodes Island-Lungmen defensive line to kill Doctor directly.

What looks like Theresa stabbing Amiya as Amiya says “we were betrayed” could possibly be Theresa passing her weapon to Amiya in her last moments after Theresa had been dealt a deathblow. The act of betrayal being referenced isn’t Theresa betraying Amiya, the act of betrayal is perhaps how Theresa was dealt the deathblow, possibly meaning that Theresa’s death was an inside job, and the scene is showing us Amiya inheriting Theresa’s sword, and with it, her mission, Rhodes Island, and

likely, her rings.

It’s honestly disarmingly impressive how much Darknight’s Memoir has given us for speculation, especially if you look back at the trailers and the first chapters.
