I expected Hannelore to get summoned by Dregarnuhr, but to casually be dropped into a room with four deities was not on my bingo card, and neither was time travel.

I wonder why Dregarnuhr seemed so surprised, when Hannelore told her she wanted to convey her feelings to Wilfried. Could it have been a cut off "Wilfried? But you are destined for each other already" or a "Wilfried? That won't work, no matter what you try." I certainly hope for the former.

Either way, I hope we will get more details of how Rozemyne is repairing Ferdinand's thread... and what severed it to begin with. I'd hate for this to be merely a plot device to grant Hannelore a trip to the past... unless of course the severing of Ferdinand's thread was deliberately done to get Hannelore and Wilfried together, by Liebeskhilfe or some other mischievous deity. In that case the "Wil...?" might have been Dregarnuhr realizing what had happened, but being too late to stop it, which would be a wonderful irony for the goddess of time to have poor timing and make Hannelore being her divine avatar all the more fitting. ^^

But thinking more on it... could this be a paradox, where it turns out that it was Hannelore, who accidentally caused the events that would sever Ferdinand's thread? As a foreign factor in the timeline, she certainly would make a good candidate for blindsiding the gods.
