Huh. Cant Believe It Took Me This Long To Find Out That Ericht Samaya Is 4 In The Prologue, 21 Years

Huh. Can’t believe it took me this long to find out that Ericht Samaya is 4 in the prologue, 21 years pass, and now Suletta Mercury is 17.

Suddenly all those people who are saying stuff like the two characters not being the same, and Ericht being inside the mobile suit are making a lot of sense.

Then again, given the focus of birthday’s in the prologue (and in the series in general), it’s possible that Elanora Samaya decided that if she was going to be reborn as Lady Prospera, and Ericht was going to be similarly reborn as Suletta Mercury, then those four years should be discounted?

Then again, given that we know “surgically altered humans” exist in this universe, there are quite a few other possibilities.

Or maybe we’re gonna get a whole “rebirth” theme going.
