One thing I've been wondering about since the beginning: by some quirk of cosmic transcendence, the spirit or essence of members of a long hidden race from across the galaxy became manifest in Shay, a sick boy from Earth, and also Mira and Ella, who we presume (but don't know for sure) are natives of Lucerne. Okay, I'm fine with that. The fact that the "measurement" of that essence is what caused the researchers to invite Shay to Lucerne to begin with is a reasonable place for this story to begin. And I'm fine with Mira and Ella likewise. When Shay awakes, and is captured, then escapes, confronts the Sharpelings and manages to knock one out with the aqumi, I'm fine with that too. And I'm fine with Shay's power transforming a Sharpeling back to human form. My question is what are the chances that that particular Sharpeling happened to have once been Mira (or whatever his human name had been)? Are we supposed to assume it was just divine providence? Or did Shay's power summon Mira's essence from beyond the Veil to inhabit that Sharpeling body?
Anyway, the fact that I can think so deeply about this means I'm fully invested. What is the Lucid Truth of the Hidden Sunlight from beyond the Veil of Shadows? I can't wait to find out. Great chapter!
