I honestly just believe they’re weird missing/unused slots. Considering it’s been there since Power of Regret -> Aim higher and higher! … and this is when they started doing faceless stuff regularly and ironed stuff out mostly, so it’s probably just weird shit. I originally pinned those slots in my head as Hikarin (bc she was an extremely suspicious character on my radar with Airi’s event and would fit a slot if they intended to give her one) then reasoned we were also likely to get a Yukihira L2D (because he’s super important lol) but then. Neither of those occupied the slots…? I was right about them getting l2d at least lmao.

So I was pretty confused, honestly. My leading theory is that “nothing” haha
