Like to our knowledge she is the Master of the Graveyard and for neither Allen or herself to mention it at all is just very strange to me. I've kind of thought of a theory that's probably incorrect that the whole Awakenings and Evils Court takes place after Seven Crimes and Punishments. Timelines confirm Heartbeat Clocktower-Capriccio Farce take place from the EC 990-998. Nemesis blows up the world in 998. We can't really avoid those hard facts.

The lack of mention is understandable. Banica stops Allen from continuing the questionaire once she finds she's not getting anywhere with him. His narration can't tell us EVERYTHING after all (mothy can't allow that). Same with the whole message in the bottle thing, which also goes unmentioned.

Like Sickle and Allen are able to return the world to before Nemesis destroyed to have another chance at stopping Nemesis and leading the world to the Heavenly Yard ending. During this time reversal would also be when Allen is locked in the Clockworker's Doll as Irregular and other stuff happens. There is probably evidence to refute this theory but yeah. I pray not. I find time travel, especially as it is currently described, to be a hackneyed way to write yourself out of a hole you yourself dug. It's very difficult to get that plot thread to work and not feel like a waste for the audience. It takes away the weight of actions when you can just say, "We'll just go back and time and fix it!"

I'd much prefer the theory that Sickle's preparing Allen to help spearhead the creation of a fourth world to rebalance the supernatural powers yet again.
