Yes, exactly!! I think that's the point of view of sol and lorkan.. like in the story they first meet and love Brian and not Ian and we know understand the depth of love sol gave to Brian and why he is doing that to Ian
here me out but i think it was a better decision to have this long ass flashback as season 2 instead of season 1 or a prequel. i feel like if it was the beginning, we wouldn't see ian as a different person from brian like we do now, or at least not to this extent. we started off with ian and acknowledged him as his own person, and now, ians going to be gaining (most likely, hopefully, ill kms if he doesn't actually remember) brian's memory and basically adding it to his knowledge.
but like if we started with brian then moved on to ian, it would be more likely that we think of ian as just the reincarnation of brian who has yet to gain his memories. yk? maybe i'm going off on a tangent but i think the authors decision was def the best.
