Link Click Spoilers - Tumblr Posts
I just still don't get how LG has been in the past for presumably years even though both his and CXS's powers only work for twelve hours
Also what does Lu Guang mean by the last chance?? Is this the last unused photo he's taken from before CXS's death in his original timeline? Assuming LG is still in the past, does CXS's power allow for recursive photo jumping? If so, can't he take a ton of pictures while CXS is still alive so he has more chances to save him?
Time is a hypocritical construct
(Again and again, again and again)
Take my hand and set the world on fire
Light it up, up for the show - oh

🚨 Link Click spoilers (up to S2 E3) below!! 🚨
I wanted to collect in one place all the evidence we're seeing for the theory that there are two different people with red eyes, so here we go.
First up is their hair, specifically where their bangs are. One is a straight blunt cut, while the other is more of a fringe situation.
A slightly more subtle difference can also be seen in their eyes...
As this great analysis video explains (sorry non-speakers it is all in Chinese but I'll note the relevant points below), Link Click stylizes men's eyes differently from women's—where the latter tends to have more well-defined lashes compared to the former.
There's also the clothing differences, a pink hoodie versus a yellow one. This COULD just be a lighting thing, since the patterning is exactly the same on both outfits, but hard to say!
(The thing that's throwing me off is that the Red Eyes at LG's door has different bangs from one shot to the next...animation error perhaps?)
In the following screenshots from S2's OP you can see one hooded figure with short hair (and a yellow jacket) and one with long hair...wearing a different outfit! This long-haired person is wearing a hooded jacket with a shirt underneath, rather than a hoodie underneath a jacket. Deeper down the rabbit hole we go...
In any case, the conclusion that the analysis video comes to is that there are two different people with red eyes, one male one female, and they are likely siblings. But what's really fun is that this video was made before E3's release, so they didn't have this very interesting tidbit to work off of yet:
The text translates to, "do not/cannot die, good (older) brother". It's vague enough to be interpreted in a number of ways—is she referring to Lu Guang as her brother? Is she referring to a person we haven't seen yet who's at risk of death, who happens to be her brother? If we follow the theory that the two Red Eyes are actually siblings, could she be talking about her red-eyed brother? Is this a taunt, a warning, a plea for LG to survive, or a request for his help???
We know basically nothing about Lu Guang's life before he met Cheng Xiaoshi. Since the end of S1 I've been hoping and wishing for the show to dive into LG's backstory, and this could be a really really good opportunity to transition into that, if this note actually has some sort of personal significance to him 👀
it's like he's still here, bitching at me,
