Overall, the main idea of this post is that the "Kakania is actually reversed!Célia" theory implies that Beryl was involved in the fates of all 5 characters who got garments this patch, whether preventing a bad ending or spawning them as important players in the main story.

According to Bluepoch, these 3 come from what-if scenarios.

As we know, Pioneer and Kaalaa Baunaa come from 2.0 and 1.3 respectively. These patches have one thing in common: Matilda. She played a key role in both stories to prevent the worst possible scenario. Their stories are referenced again in 3.2 in two other instances: Matilda's anecdote (where she finds out J has joined the Razor Squad) and a brief mention (which, i'll admit, can't remember if it was in the 3.2 story or in Beryl's story) of how Brume met Matilda during 1.3.

But what about Isolde? Before that, let's go to the 0to21 garments.

We already know the toy robot Anjo Nala was trapped in was one of the 5 items Beryl (through Scott) stole from the Foundation. From this, i'm just gonna point out a few tidbits that might be of interest but not make any major conections: >Nala debuted as a character in 2.0 >Scott looks similar to Kakania and Célia (she is from the OG era (before the 1st storm) though, so this is just an amusing coincidence. Either that or Beryl thought she was funny for choosing a goon who looks like her employee's dead friend.)

If we assume the "Kakania is reversed!Célia" theory is right, then this would mean Bluepoch gave us tarot garments for characters who spawned into the main story due to Beryl's actions, and as The Devil and The Tower: a duo that symbolize "breaking through unhealthy or toxic patterns, places, or relationships through a really explosive way" (Quite fitting not only for their stories, but also for Beryl's and even R1999's overall plot). If there's any tarot expert reading this, feel free to correct me if my reading is wrong though.

Now, back to Isolde. This begins with the end of 3.2 and the 5th storm: it reversed time from 1936 to 1913, Marcus and Heinrich's era.

If Célia spawned as Kakania here, then there IS a chance for a very similar version of this era's Kakania to spawn after the 8th storm (the one that reversed time from 1929 to 1914). Why? Let's go to 2.0 now.

The story of this event implies that the San Francisco that appeared after the 9th storm (1914 to 1990) is VERY similar to the one that existed before the 1st storm. Think about it: J's sister, Paulina, joined the Foundation during the OG era, and got reversed in the 2nd storm, according to Hofmann's report in 5.5. If she joined in 1989-1990 from the OG era (which 2.0 implies), then she spent over 10 years working at the Foundation, got reversed and, several storms later, a very similar version of her era, big brother included, came back from the oceans of time. The Karlson-Duncan situation happens if someone gets reversed from one era to another, but 2.0 implies that it is possible for people, events and places to come back almost exactly the same. My guess is that this is also somewhat affected by how much Manus altered history prior, but that's not important right now.

My point is that, if the events of 3.2 lead to the spawning of Marcus, Kakania and Heinrich, then you can say Beryl took a role in changing Isolde's fate.

That's all I can say coherently about the matter. The following are just a few tidbits I found worth mentioning.

>3.2 takes place in 1936, right in the middle of the 13 years it took Robert Musil to write "The Man without Qualities" (1930 until his death in 1943, which led his magnus opus unfinished.), the book Kakania took her nickname from.

>Heinrich probably picked up the book from Regulus' era (1966) since it was published in the 40s and the whole sequence after the 5th storm was 1914 -> 1966 -> 1929 -> 1913.

>Coincidently, Regulus has been theorized to be a Reversed!Paulina.

>If we are talking about people who got reversed, spawned again and are somehow related with the era after the 9th storm, 2.1 has Tuesday, who Barbara thinks might be her missing co-worker who most likely got reversed: Bonette.

>Interestingly, in the next horror patch (3.1), we have another UTTU editor, Verity, looking for her missing co-worker. It is lated implied by Verity that she most likely got reversed and turned into Corvus.

>Brume and Kakania cannonically talked about the experience of losing their eras. (Which lead to the [fanart] that made me write all this).

>You can, technically, stretch the theory into wilder territory by claiming Célia is Reversed!Isabella, just because it would be funny to say that Matilda's involvement in the events of chapter 3 lead to Isabella and "The Ring" getting reversed in the 3rd storm, and then eventually to Kakania founding "The Circle". Absolute crackpot stuff, but in the realm of possible.
