Servant of Evillious wrote: From my understanding of what I've read, Elluka comes back at least by the Merrigod portion of the novel. I can't say yet if she's back by the time Lemy's shot. But the one whom Irina knows to be "Seventh Magician" is in fact Eve Moonlit after taking Elluka's body (Elluka being MIA and Irina believing is still alive and possibly going to make a comeback).

Considering Irina knows this but still ends up addressing her Merrigod letter to "her beloved sister" after the Lemy shot scene, I presume Elluka's back by then but I can't confirm. There's a lot of stuff happening in this book. Servant of Evillious wrote: She considers bodies in general to be cumbersome from what I read. After all that ranting at the beginning of C, she goes back to that point. They're not her body and her true form has to stay near them (not to mention the time with Haru and Mikina where their wills attempt to rebel).

She's much happier at the climax in her own body with her own power, I understand.

I'll confirm that Levia and Behemo do appear, they do get faces in the illustrations (albeit pretty meh given the angles and sizes imo). We also get an interesting collision of forces here. From my impression of the reading, a quasi-amnesic Irina is Ma at the end but don't quote me on that since I have to read through the scene a few times. Just going to quote myself since people seem to be missing a bit of what I said.

Also, just to clarify. I omitted this in the mining but Irina does outright say "M.O.T.H.E.R" before giving the full Master of the HER name. Any resemblance to Muzzle is perfectly intentional imo.
