And a big part of that is Sensei not having been more upfront and forward about the Lunarians and the whole situation.

To be fair to them, everything phos ever tried turned out to be a horrible idea that made things worse. :v:

I feel like not torturing phos for 200 years might also have helped. And they intended Phos's torture to last for eternity, and the only reason it didn't was because of Sensei. That chapter where they joyfully shut phos away into little boxes beneath the ground removed any sympathy I might feel for the earth gems. At least if Phos succeeds their deserved suffering will be short

New Chapter
I guess Cairngorm will be moon-googling "how is babby formed?" soon. I get the feeling that a child (baby Antarc???) is what is going to get Cairngorm to leave Aechmea. I think Cairngorm would do their absolute best to parent, and not see the kid as a disposable tool to bring about the end of all sentient life though, maybe that will be the single red flag among thousands that Cairngorm will notice

Cairngorm's outfits have been amazing ever since they got their eyes fixed.

After seeing what Cairngorm and Diamond look like now, I really hope Phos gets that last gift soon so we can see their final form. 50/50 chance of it being either a normal flesh and blood human, or Giga-Satan. Or Giga-Mara I guess.

Wait, she's basically Mara, isn't she? Shin Megami Tensei already spoilered her visual design. Guys I think Phos is Mara.

Chapter 2. The Sutra of Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha's Fundamental Vows posted:

At that time, the World Honored One reached out his golden-hued arms to touch the heads of all the separate transformational Ksitigarbha Bodhisattvas
[. . .]At that time, the Buddha praised Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha, saying, "Excellent, excellent! I shall help you to rejoice. You will be able to fulfill the great vows you took vast long kalpas ago, so that universal deliverance will be consummated for all and so that Bodhi will be directly attained by all."

I've been seeing predictions that Cinnabar mercury will disolve Phos' arms, but those arms aren't pure gold.
The platinum component won't form an amalgam, so they might still more than enough metal left for crime against gems.

Mercury doesn't "dissolve" gold in the first place, they combine quimically forming the amalgam. From wikipedia

"Gold amalgam: Refined gold, when finely ground and brought into contact with mercury where the surfaces of both metals are clean, amalgamates readily and quickly to form alloys ranging from AuHg2 to Au8Hg.[7]"
