FRIEREN IS BACK WE ARE SO BACK PEAK HAS RETURNED

So on my re-watch of S1 in prep for S2 (I'm waiting for the dub to drop), I noticed some things I didn't notice the first time I watched cause I'm an idiot.

Spoiler

1. Frieren is wearing Flamme's earrings. That's such a nice nod to her former master.
2. I think there is some other reason why Freiren is collecting the "fake" Flamme grimoires...just one we don't know yet. If Frieren is anything, she's calculating and nothing she does is wasted.
3. I don't think we're done with Seine, I think he's going to find his buddy and then we will see him again.
4. I don't trust Serie as far as I can fucking throw her.

1 - when Fern eventually dies Frieren will probably start wearing her butterfly hair clip or bracelet

3 - I could definitely see him coming back for a few episodes as a coincidental re-encounter, but I don't think he'd stick around. I also think it's completely valid we never see him again, too, though. There are lots of stories we've already come across about how other characters are out there completely living their own entire adventures that we do not necessarily ever get the whole story to. E.g. the Hero of the South got mentioned a couple times in season 1 and now we just got a bit more of his story, but I doubt we'll ever get more of it. And the elf-priest guy whose name I forget, we only see a little snapshot of who he is now but the statues of him indicate he was once a great hero with his own epic tale long ago that we'll simply never know.

Ugh, this would reduce me to a sobbing mess...therefore I expect it to happen

Totally fair. It may be that I just really liked him overall and wishful thinking for sure.
