I just finished watching Pearl's session 2 POV and I just realized something
Pearl kind of takes after Scott in a way
I'm specifically talking about Scott's ally blessing. at the end of her video she was talking to Impulse and was explaining how this time she wants him to win. and it's not even the first time she's helped someone else win, she offered her life to Scar back in Secret Life. and people (including me) say that it was Scott's blessing that helped Scar, but what if Pearl had to do with it also?
I've had a theory for a while that every Life Series curse and blessing has 2 aspects to it. the canary curse means the bearer dies first AND right before many other deaths follow. the ally blessing means the recipient wins AND dies. so what if the blessing is now split between 2 players? after all, in Secret Life Scott was Gem's ally first and foremost, only being allied with Scar for a very short time. he wasn't even on the same side as Scar in the zombie apocalypse. but Pearl was. Pearl went into finale by his side. so according to this theory Scott's part (ensuring the ally dies) worked on Gem and Pearl's part (ensuring the ally wins) worked on Scar
Scott died for his soulmate, so his part is the death. Pearl saw her soulmate die for her, so her part is protection until the win
so yeah, Impulse was one of my picks for the win even before session 1 videos were released, but now he's pretty much my top 1 pick
