^^^^ that actually might be the more plausible cause. It seems to me that every time Hansel and Gretel are "destined" to be reborn, the world produces the correct bodies for them regardless of whether or not their souls make it into them. That would make Arte and Pollo the only fully successful reincarnation of the twins, funnily enough.

My biggest question out of this discussion then is where was Hansel's soul during Daughter of Evil? Do you think that's something the book might be discussing (or was it brought up during SCP)? Originally I thought it was just "Ney messed up the cycle and so there was no Hansel", but Gretel being in the glass messed up the cycle too--and Hansel was still reincarnated.
