While we all mourn the death of Avidius back in 2.7, I think it's of interest to notice this particular string of dialogue in the Hunter's Den after that, which to me feels interesting:

1. Septimont at large doesn't know of Avidius' fate (presumably Augusta and Iuno concealing the truthg), and presumably neither does Ragunna
2. Narratively, it would be odd of Kuro to kill off Avidius with such finality yet leave this suspicious tidbit out in the open

So this raises two possibilities on where Kuro could be going with this, similar to how the CSC is being used to explain why we'll go to Mengzhou later on (in addition to what 2.7's Segue already hinted at)

1. Avidius is gonna narratively haunt either Septimont or the whole of Rinascita in our subsequent visits, perhaps his "missing" status the trigger of whatever conflict will arise in our return
2. 2.7 might not be the end of Avidius. Kuro (as shown in Pgr), is known for leaving breadcrumbs behind that hint at major story points. This might be them leaving the window open for a potential revival of Avidius. It wouldn't be the first time they pulled off this kinda stunt, looking at Selena at the end of Fallen Star and her subsequent playability in Echo Aria, or Noan (as Shrek) sacrificing himself in Surviving Lucem only to be revealed to be alive and become playable in Cinder Burns

June 2nd. So apparently it seems a full month early from the actual Half-Anni (July). Any speculations as to the reason for this, especially since Alpha is (presumably) Half-Anni herself?
