Re: The paintings, Noah, & Claire – I have a disturbing germ of a theory, which I hope to hell is contradicted…
Isaac’s Series Of Eight (SOE) is meant to be exactly that, a series of thematically linked paintings. What elements are in the two paintings we’ve seen so far: Kaito, Noah, Claire, and Mystery Guy. Kaito wasn’t just one of the Twelve. He had a fling with Claire’s grandmother, Angela, who acknowledged that “We gave her” to Noah to look after. This is literally, physically true. Angela’s former lover, Kaito, gave Claire to Noah. The first painting depicts Kaito’s death; the man who handed Claire to Noah is dead. Furthermore, Claire’s grandmother, Angela, is also marked and threatened by this same person. As of now (and I hope this changes, because the implications suck), we don’t have any evidence that any other Elder Supers are actually being targeted. Then, the final SOE painting depicts the death of Noah, the man to whom Angela, through Kaito, handed Claire. Kaito is dead. Angela is threatened (presumably with death). Claire is deprived of three links in a chain of protection. She goes from Angela’s arms to Kaito’s to Noah’s to Mystery Guy’s.
Like I said, the implications suck, and I’m really hoping (apart from the prevention of Noah’s death) that something in SOEs 2-7 contradicts my theory.
