back again with the memory theory lmao minor spoilers for Memories of Celceta and major spoilers for Lacrimosa of Dana
Abstract of theory: Adol can receive Dana’s memories because he himself has incomplete memory, and this causes the Evolution to interpret Adol as Dana and vice versa.
The main premise of MoC is Adol’s memory loss and the regaining of it, and the early game’s insistent on it being pretty complete aka he doesn’t remember who he is, what his name is etc. I’m theorizing here that the memories he gets as orbs in that game are exactly what he gets back, as in he doesn’t get anything more or less than what is shown in the game.
That would mean Adol has pretty large gaps in what he remembers, and that’s where Dana’s life comes in: he’s tuned to find pieces of memories to fill in his own blank spaces. This is mainly what I suggest as to why it’s only Adol who dreams about Dana at first, and I’ll touch on how he does it later in this post.
As Adol gathers more of Dana’s past life, his ‘memory’ becomes an amalgam of his and Dana’s histories, which misleads the system of Evolution into interpreting the two as the same person, which could explain why present-day Dana only remembers up to what Adol remembers.
The misinterpretation, as a paradox, also allows Adol to be more attuned to Energy than the normal human(because Dana as the Maiden is extremely adept at Energy), letting him activate the Energy crystals(the heal points) and access Dana’s memories to begin with.
I’ll post one more theory regarding the Energy crystals later, but feel free to comment.
