*** Alternatively, it could be that the Elktaur's two halves (The General and the Elk) are respectively reeling from having each other's familiar features for the first time in years. The General half is reacting to the antlers, and the Elk half has hands again. And now, just as they've reunited, they must die.

* Knowing the Elktaur and the Mysterious Woman's backstory makes the song "Nothing Good" all the more heartbreaking to hear [[HarsherInHindsight knowing the context]]. The first lines are a DarkReprise of her wedding vows, denouncing love as something dangerous to extinguish instead of something beautiful to nurture and grow. "Keep it lockd up, keep it sealed tight, shut it down and turn away" reflects how her betrayed feelings towards the Elktaur have festered into a skewered and bitter hatred towards love itself. And her lines about how those nearest and dearest to our hearts, it doesn't even come ''close'' to how betrayed she must've felt when she learned [[LiarRevealed her husband lied to her and covered up the truth]] about his Elk half, or how she witnessed first-hand the latter's [[StartOfDarkness transformation]] into the Nowhere King.

** Her previous meeting with the Nowhere King proves to be a DarkReprise of "Once Shattered Now Whole". [[HarsherInHindsight It turns out]], the mysterious woman wasn't chanting: she was reaffirming her wedding vows so she could muster her courage to put her 'husband' out of his misery. And the Nowhere King's words (about how she came to "set [him] free" and he "never stopped thinking about [her]") is everything the General said at their wedding, it's sad on two levels. First, he wanted so badly to be in the General's shoes that he imitated his vows. Second, it could reflect that irony that although the human half made those vows, it's the elk half that missed her most.
