I'm not sure whether I want the next chapter to focus on the gems stuck on earth or the ones who went with Phos to the moon more... Really worried about potential moon-guy betrayal. Coolusername's post about the Seven Treasures of Buddhism in the anime thread has me antsy now- we have silver and carnelian left, right? Or would the platinum count as part of the silver? Either way, I'm afraid that Carnelian is going to be a part of someone else, although maybe Ichikawa won't want to repeat the Lapis thing again. We've seen parts of replaced parts be replaced, but I've got a bad feeling that Ship of Theseus will mean that Phos' torso will be replaced. Trying to find info on the seven treasures for gem conspiracy theories is pretty rough, though.

I feel like Padparadscha is a likely source of the red gem- some translations say ruby instead of carnelian, and (if I'm remembering right) Padparadscha was patched with ruby earlier. I'm not great with the distinctions between various gems, but sapphire and ruby are from the same mineral and the differences between them seem to be pretty arbitrary. I think it'd be nice if Padparadscha was allowed to die / become part of Phos. Right now, Padparadscha is stuck existing just as a drain on Rutile, and they dislike that a lot. However, they won't tell Rutile that. Even though Phos is taking them to the moon, Rutile won't give up until there's no chance at getting them back. Incorporating Padparadscha as part of Phos would be one way to pull them off of the table and lift the burden off of Rutile. (On the other hand, any fragment of Padparadscha hanging around might be enough for Rutile to cling to.) Mostly, I just want Padparadscha's tragedy to be concluded, rather than left floating around as a loose end.
