* Okay, how old even is Agent 4? I remember an interview saying that the Splatoon 2 inklings are around 14 like their predecessors, according to the characters page here Agent 4 two years older than Agent 3 was in Splatoon 1 (which would place them at around 16), and THEN the usually-reliable Splatoon wiki says Agent 4 is 'At least 18'.

* So... What's up with Callie? [[spoiler: The game may not be out yet but let's not mince words.

Did she go on her own will? Did Octavio kidnap her (we know he escaped from the snow globe somehow)? Was she brainwashed by Octavio with his music? I'm sorry, I just can't help but question it.]]
