About Juruve, in color insert in P3V5 Rozmyne is submerged in a blue liquid.

About severed thread, it could have been Mestionora trying to do revenge by killing him in every timeline.

Right, I forgot about the pictures... but why is it blue? Blue is the colour of passion, growth and learning, while healing is universally green. Not to mention that jureve is made up primarily of four different elements, plus some other stuff, only one of which is fire aspected and thus blue. Maybe Kazuki-sensei hadn't quite finalized the mana colours that early in the story.

As for it being Mestionora... Yeah I really don't see it. If nothing had been done, time would have been reset back to 20 years ago with Ferdinand very much being alive and already in Ehrenfest, so doing that to kill him is not a good plan or even a plan to begin with. I mean... sure with what Dregarnuhr said, it looks like Ferdinand would have died, but after his death time would have reset, thus undoing it right away, making it quite useless to do it specifically to kill him.

That and Mestionora also made her position on killing very clear, when she forbid killing for any and all reasons, even of the worst criminals who definitely would have deserved death.

I just hope we'll learn of who was the culprint and why in this book and won't have to wait too long for this particular pair of answers. God knows how long it'll take for the book to be translated into English... is the second book even out in Japanese already?

H5Y volume 2 isn't even released yet. I didn't see any news on reddit so I would guess that the release date isn't decided yet.
