It's Lina's birthday! She's just turned 13.

Hi everyone. As a general update, Lina is very thankful for your continued support. Unfortunately, the situation with the crossing remains unclear and seems like it'll stay that way for the foreseeable future. Therefore I have to once again ask for your support in helping this family survive.

With your donations from last time, Lina has bought food, medical supplies, and regular transportation to the pharmacy (details below). Example of some of the medicine she's bought:

Lina: "There are also injections, but I can't photograph them because they stay at the pharmacy; they require a specific temperature, and we don't have refrigerators. So, he goes to the pharmacy daily to get his injections."

As a reminder, Karim is still recovering from being shot in the throat by the IDF. It was also thanks to donations from Tumblr users like you that he was able to recover at all, so please don't underestimate the impact of your donations, however small they may be.

Here is a new update video for Karim:

As always, donations will go towards food, medicine, and any other basic necessities required for survival.

Tbh I don't think Lina’s sudden absence in Stargaze is due to poor communication between the Stampede and Stargaze teams. Many Stampede characters were credited with their full names even before their proper introduction in the show, yet Lina was only listed as “girl”, which suggests they knew she wouldn't be a full-fledged character.

Considering that most of the “retcons” we've seen so far come from that one scene with Lina, I am inclined to consider the theory that the entire scene was meant to be Vash’s dreamlike perception of the world in episode 2. The loss of his prosthetic arm, for example, would explain why he only presses the piano keys with his right hand.
