So many twists this chapter. Apparently we're in a time loop now? But, this doesn't make sense, since Ena definitely was outside of a time loop in chapter 0 (Koharu's second mission), she is experienced with cupid-ing, and she has history with Chiyo. This can't be the case if she is both Hasumi and was born as a cupid a few days ago. She has enough karma to buy a cupid Claymore mine, for goodness' sake!

I like how the time space-stretch makes the shape of a heart: it means that another cupid is involved here.

This chapter


As such, my theory is simple (but probably completely off base). Ena is Hasumi, but she wasn't born as a cupid a few days ago. This has to do with the mystery cupid from Ena's birthday arts. In the second drawing, the mystery cupid is seen to have red skin; if cupids exist, why not evil demonic cupid things?

I suspect that Ena essentially made a demonic pact with the mystery cupid for whatever reason, which allowed her to live as the human Hasumi but also forces her to be stuck in a time loop. This explains why Ena has a Claymore mine active at her base's doorstep: she really does not want to meet Ms. mystery cupid again. She's also really suspicious of pacts, which supports my theory.

Chapter 13


Interestingly, Ena doesn't seem to have the goal of getting Touma and Kitano together, since she splashes water on the two.

Chiyo also seems to know about this situation, since she is not surprised at all by the time loop. In chapter 11, she even refers to Ena splashing water on Kitano's confession as "inevitable"...



My brain is getting fried, so I'm not going to theorize any more lol

On second thought (see my comment above):

Something I noticed is that based off of her calendar, Ena came to the field trip on July 3 (the start of the field trip) and had no idea about the time loop at the time. However, something happened on July 3 which caused her to fail her mission, convinced her that Kitano and Azuma shouldn't be together, and made her realize that time will loop the moment July 6 begins. I suspect this event is her meeting with Ms. mystery cupid.



Since the landslide happened in July 3, I think Ena tried to find the missing classmate as Hasumi, but it turned out that the missing classmate was Ms. mystery cupid, who likely declared that she will be interfering with Ena's mission and trapped Ena in a time loop, possibly as part of the terms of her pact with Ena.

Again, this is all speculation and there are still many things that don't match up. For example, I still have no explanation for why Ena is human as Hasumi.
