Something I’m really curious about is Guideau’s past, and why exactly Ashaf is so intent on helping them.

During the Four Levels Below arc, when Guideau and Ashaf are imprisoned, it opens with Guideau having a dream.

The question is, who is talking to who, is it Guideau telling Anna/Anya to run? Or is it perhaps an interaction that they witnessed? Is the dream itself linked to where Guideau is, or is it the apparent nightmare that has persisted up until the cursed object/Seed-Child in the Nameless Seed arc slipped into Guideau’s bed?

This scene itself brings up another question:

If the seed-child feeds on magic, and isn’t really a person but a cursed object, does that mean its feeding on Guideau’s dreams/nightmares?

Although, i doubt that anyone besides the satue is actually aware of Guideau’s dreams.

Considering we know the circumstances of how Ashaf and Guideau met, I’m interested in learning why exactly Ashaf is so keen on helping Guideau, outside of his own curiosity. He goes above and beyond to help them, and this is made obvious primarily in the Four Levels Below arc, where he overwrote his own brain to get them back.

And even before that, when he realized Angela had tricked Guideau into seeking her out.

I have a theory, albeit something very unlikely.

I think that Guideau has some form of amnesia, they keep having these dreams, but don’t truly seem to understand why, and their general lack of understanding of things that most would seem natural. They are beastial in nature, but in their original body they still have sentience and a humanoid form.

So I think Ashaf met Guideau at some point, and Guideau doesn’t remember because of their amnesia.

It’s easy to say that we know Guideau’s main goals, get revenge/kill Angela, return to their original body, but we know nothing of what lead up to this.

And, like stated previously, we don’t know why Ashaf has decided to help them.

It could be for something for his own gain, or what I think it is, he has some connection to Guideau that the audience has not been privy to.

And while yes there have several implications made by both Ashaf and the people around him and Guideau, what feelings Ashaf harbors for Guideau are. I would say, unknown.

Whatever it is that happened between Angela and Guideau, I wonder if Guideau even remembers anything before the body switch happened.

Given their lack of social understanding, not knowing what is happening in their dreams/nightmares which seem to be flashbacks, and the fact that Ashaf has had to teach them several things about just being a person, if that makes sense.

Anyway, uhhh thats my sorta theory? I guess? Mix of theory and analysis i suppose.
