Having seen that ending twice, and had read a few posts and such, I've developped a small theorie about the Reaches ending patch of blood at the end.

I though that it was because Rhue died or something, but I think it was more likely the fact a subliminal way of telling to player that "Rhue" -or whatever is his real name- had killed Serena.

Depressing isn't it?

Pretty much, I think it's trying to imply that you chose the wrong ending and that it shows the most depressing way a life could end.

I still have no idea who Traziun is talking about it that scene, it bugs me.

Good point. I've always considered "her" to be Traziun's mother. Although I suppose he could have had romantic encounters?

That's what I thought, but he says he got close to her because 'he missed his mother.' Maybe its just not well worded but I always took it to mean that his mother was gone by this point and whoever hes referring to just reminded him of his mother or something. And looking back on it now it what he says fits better if it was some girl he met as opposed to his mother:

Traz: I didn't need her.
Rhue: You wanted to be alone?
Traz: I had more important things to do.
Rhue: She had nothing to offer?
Traz: Nothing that I valued.
Rhue: So why did you get so close?
Traz: I don't know... I missed my mother.

What was the Slade dialouge?

So Cetsa. At least that what it sounds like to me.

And Traz's could be Sorya which is in another topic.

I had actually never thought about it being Cetsa. I had thought it was his mother he was referring to. I liked the idea that she finally got what was coming to her, but it had holes.

Both Traziun's and Slade's are so vague about who they're talking about its a surprise Gauis's isn't.

No kidding, Gaius is so cryptic. But thats probably because Kloe was so obvious. I like to think Slade's was Cetsa, simply because everyone seems to be talking about a love. Plus Cetsa makes sense, Slade killed her and had been around her enough to make a connection.

Cetsa was who I thought too.
I don't think Slade would have killed his mother. I think she was the one that shaped most of his view of right and wrong and if he had killed her, he wouldn't be the justice maker kind of guy we know.
Killing her would rather mean killing that whole ideal she imposed upon him and he would be a rebel.
His guilt only seem to have breached the limit towards the end, and Cetsa's death was part of his self-redemption.

And Traziun and Sorya? I didn't even knew Sorya was a blood lyn. And if she was, she had to have trained at the same place as Kloe (Assuming Traziun took Kloe to Delhara after saving her). Yet they only remembered each other in the same "throwing in the river" event.

I think your mixing up Cetsa with Sorya for the river scene. But i guess you find out Sorya was a blood lyn if you take her out on the date.

The whole Sorya/Traziun thing is a nice idea but it has holes, mainly in how contradictory they each describe their blood brother/sister. But it could work.

That might not be contradictory though, just two people viewing their relationship, I me it's not rare that a man and women see their relationship differently. It could also be at different points their describing.
