Spoilers?
Gideon is gonna be the prince reincarnated isn't he? Then, the old Gideon is the new prince working with Iris. It's soooooo obvious. like the reaction to the "your highness" comment, or the fact that he SOMEHOW ended up in her hometown despite that not happening before? He probably killed her in the past life because he didn't want someone else to have killed his lover, and now he comes back as Gideon, and he wants to protect her. Just my guess at chp 22 but we'll see...
Edit: on 24 now, yup def the case, the smile matched up with the prince's smile, he can't use magic Gideon can, opposite in the past, and who would want to rewind time after her death? None other than the prince and potentially her family (It said multiple people were needed so ig her family or maid as well?) Or if it's like multiple people are required (as in sacrifice) then he prob killed Iris and Gideon as sacrifices and his consequence was that body swap.
I luv that the 6 stars are so clearly based on pop stars, I dont recognize half of them but you can def tell with the elvis, the beatles, michael jackson, and billie eilish ones.
Edit: I figured out who they all are!
Arch - Gerard Way
Mio - Aurora
Comet - George Harrison (or paul or ringo, just not john)
Zess - Michael Jackson
Sol - Elvis Presley
Fia - Billie Eilish
Theres also other characters that look like Elton John, and John Lennon (hence why he cant be the one who Comet is based on) Tina Turner, Marilyn Manson (The Arsonist) and apparently Kurt Cobain
(I also like to imagine that that random guy named Lawrence is Mike Tyson, not a singer, but still a black guy with a short face, freckles, scarred eyebrow, and a gap tooth)
I tried to read this I really did but I just cant... omfg the amount of times this bitch is raped.... and then the ntr... I can't, bye.
