At the time of writing, two chapters have been released with two more to come. I thought it might be a good point to look over the keywords for the chapters past and the chapters yet to come.

Below are the meanings behind the keywords and terms for Chapters 1 and 2 as far as I know:

  • Fallen Star: The final bullet in the form of a meteoroid
  • Traitor(Double Cross): Moriarty
  • Lament Beneath the Moon: Moriarty's feelings

Episode II: The Woman of Agartha

  • An invasion from fiction: Nature of singularity as Scheherazade's story encroaching on reality
  • The Hollow Earth: Underground space in which singularity is situated. Agartha
  • Hero of Brutal Insanity: Megalos
  • The Brilliant Fortress: Either Ys or the City of Gold, El Dorado
  • Jungle of Gold: Jungle of the Amazons, site of El Dorado
  • The Fragrance of Peaches: Resistance base area, Peach Springs

  • Phantasmal Metropolis: The city that doesn't sleep. The nightless/nocturnal city/castle.
  • The Skies of Void: Laputa.

Below are a few likely associations for some of the keywords for Chapters 3 and 4 (currently unreleased at time of writing)

  • The Blade-Maiden of the Empyrean Eye: Musashi
  • Witch Hunt, Witch Trials, Anno Domini 1692, "Salem," Massachusetts: Salem witch trialsWP
