Summary:

The invasion of the Anteverse was successful, and the Precursors have been destroyed, but Newt still hasn’t awoken from his coma and doesn’t respond initially to Drift attempts from Hermann to wake him.

But when one day a connection is established, Hermann and Newt find themselves in a mingled mindscape that seems informed by Dante’s “Inferno”. Together, they pass through the Nine Circles, nine memories of Newt’s years under Precursor control in the hopes it will help free Newt from his own head.

Yet questions linger: how much did the Precursors take from Newt, to what lengths will Hermann go to free him, and is the other even truly there, or merely a rabbit of the other’s making, a wish fulfillment fantasy that they’re chasing into the abyss?

A consideration that is both hilarious and sad: Hermann had that picture of him and Newt unframed and sitting on his desk right next to something that he had definitely set aside to show him (the kaiju blood).

Hypothesis:

Hermann specifically brought that picture to his lab to show Newt. He had it all planned out:

  1. Dazzle him with science
  2. accidentally on purpose notice the picture like, “What? Oh! My goodness, how did this get here? Haha remember this?”
  3. ????? ask to dinner????
  4. Ask about the nightmares when they’re in a more relaxed state.

Of course this was derailed on step one when Newt failed to be dazzled by his cool science. So poor Hermann got frazzled and had to skip to the nightmare thing and never got to share the picture.
