Hi all! It's GT, back with another theory post. Anyway, a lot of stuff has been getting revealed regarding the Original Sin Story arc, so I thought I'd tie all my (rather numerous) theories together in one heaping post! Be warned that most of this is guesswork and logical assumptions based on canon material, plus my own personal interpretations. Enjoy!

Note: Many of the theories used her came up on chat, so I can't take 100% credit for them. Special thanks to Malice for his ideas and letting me bounce mine off him.

The Gods
At some point, Malice came into existence. From this existence came HER, which began infecting gods at a very fast rate. One of the infected gods was The Patient in Blood-Stained Switch, which was given the year BT 1013 by mothy in The Muzzle of Nemesis. Despite this disease, the gods failed the quarantine those infected by HER and those who were still not infected, hence Held's statement in Heavenly Yard that the Second Period was destroyed due to the mixture of good (the healthy gods) and evil (the gods with HER). HERs are compelled to destroy anything related to the gods (we know thanks to the Pierrot novel), so all the HER gods came together and destroyed the Second Period in one massive event. Sickle and the rest of his kin barely escaped on Sin. Little did they know that Seth Twiright, having feigned a lack of HER, slipped into their ranks and escaped with them.

Somehow, Malice was turned into a seed and thrown away into the Grave Yard. This seed went into the ground and grew into a fruit-bearing tree, the one we see in the SCP story. This tree is also where Seth got the Seeds of Malice and the Seeds of God, via some unknown means.

Magic Kingdom, Ghoul Children
With the Magic Kingdom Levianta being founded, Seth incarnated as a human (or transformed, more likely, since he retains his memories) and infiltrated the kingdom, becoming a scientist. There, he began creating ghoul children as his long-term plan for spreading HER. However, his short term plan was regularly implanting random people with Seeds of Malice, hence the large amount of HERs in Levianta by EC 013; Kiril notes that this large amount must have been a sign/premonition of the Magic Kingdom's destruction in the OSS Act 2 album booklet.

Anyway, back to Seth. Seth "inputted" the ghoul children he made into society, possibly via brainwashing people into believing they've always been there using the Venom drug. Since there doesn't seem to be any non-HER ghoul children, the Leviantans probably found out and equated being a ghoul child with being an HER, thus leading to the stigmatization of ghoul children. This is again noted by Kiril, who believes that ghoul children like him lead difficult lives.

Project 'Ma'
In BT 005, Levia-Behemo got impatient and whispered to Maria Moonlit, prompting the start of Project 'Ma'. The humans of Levianta devised a way to make the produced twins intended "containers" for L & B. Since Meta's project was successful, Hansel and Gretel did become said containers, thus resulting in L & B's fragments fusing with them. The vessels of sin also work as "containers" like Hansel and Gretel, which is why the six kin sealed with Levia-Behemo went into the vessels. Hansel and Gretel made an extra container, and as a result Eve slipped in with the demons. [This part's a little tricky, since the Gift novel mentions Hansel and Gretel made the vessels using common household items, but the Venom Sword and Grim the End were made by Seth, and Irina made the Doll decades later in EC 130.]

So anyway, let's rewind a little. After Meta chased Eve, Eve eventually got cornered. Eve was already crazy by then because of Venom, with her mind causing her to perceive things based on how she felt and translating those emotions into literal symbols. Because of this, she perceived Meta, a terrorist known for killing, as a wild animal, while the twins, something Eve felt she needed in order to satisfy a primal urge, as fruits. Eventually, Eve got cornered, and with the full moon bringing her magic to its peak, unwittingly used lightning magic on Meta, killing her (or so it seemed).

In actuality, Meta used the Swap Technique to transfer her soul into the milk bottle. Adam and Eve got the bottle and used it to raise Hansel and Gretel. Once Hansel was a little kid, he felt a special connection with the bottle and decided to hold onto it as a memento. After the twins were abandoned in EC 014, Meta's soul guided them back to the house and helped them kill her parents. Thanks to Meta's magic and the twin god fragments, H & G were insanely powerful and outmatched their foster parents.

Vessels of Sin
Soon after, Hansel and Gretel made the vessels and released them unto the world. Fast forward to the EC 970s, where Ma decided to turn her daughter Nemesis Sudou insane for whatever reason. The playwright left the Glass of Conchita inside the Moonlit residence and locked Nemesis inside, where Hansel and Gretel spoke to her. Since the vessel was sealed by Ma beforehand, Banica decided to take a backseat (which she often does) and let her servants do the talking. Thanks to the twins' general creepiness, Nemesis went insane.

Nemesis could hear them because she was an HER like her mother. Only HERs could hear the voices of Levia-Behemo, explaining why not everyone could hear them from within Sin. Maria Moonlit was also an HER.
