So Blink really does take place in EC 505. Since it's listed before Handbeat Clocktower (and the songs seem to be going in reverse chronological order) it would have to take place way after Michaela's sapling was planted, since we already have Michaela's sapling appearing in Praefacio. Which is weird, since, going by the song's lyrics, it's implied that it's narrating Rin's thoughts while she's planting the sapling.

If the Third Period was created in BT 528, BSS and Watching Us really don't have a place in its continuity. Maybe they take place during the previous periods? I mean, it's stated that the Second Period existed for 1000 years before being destroyed, so BSS could be about HER being the force the gods called "Malice". Guess all the Original Sin Story references were just red herrings. As for Watching Us, I think it takes place during the First Period. 1) I assume she looks happy because she just killed her competition for her father's love.

2) Michaela's sapling was planted not that long after the Lucifenian Revolution, and it was shown as a little tree in Praeludium. So the tree has, at least, a bit less than 5 years by EC 505 (Also, Rin sings making speculations through the entire song).

3) That's why I made the question "Connections to the previous Periods, maybe?" :)
