#jie

you stood in the shade of a sunshower

and claimed to the world that grief is fleeting

Missing Scripture

and happy birthday

lets do a quick look into this! the new IS will be set in a baizao garden aptly named Jie Garden or 界园. we'll get to the garden name in a bit... the teaser video, which is made like an old analogue tape video, gradually glitches and removes or changes certain letters littered in either the scenery or the video text.

(this video has EN subs, and the pinned comment also has translations of the rolling text at the bottom!)

a twitter user pointed out an interesting theory about the glitched/removed/changed characters, and how it relates to the late 4th sibling, JIE (頡). notice the name? just like the garden name jie (界), although the tone is different (cmiiw).

※ edit: i meant to say Jie is our 5th sibling!!! sorry for the mistake

so the name Jie Garden is highly likely an intentional tell on our late sui sister Jie. but if you're still not convinced, near the end of the video we see this show up (cc included):

look who we have here...

It was supposed to be a picture for lmk oc competition but as you probably know Jie lost the third round and came back home happily to finally spend time with Gou.

Still I must say her outfit is… fire? So I’ll probably use it as one of her official designs!
