User blog:Ltmaroon57/Maybe Summer Is Alive?

I know that this is a decently well known theory, but I never thought that she was alive until recently. Here me out.

It's only presumed that she's dead. She went MIA on a mission, leading her family to believe she was dead. There is only one time where death is mentioned when referring to her, and that was in the song, Red Like Roses pt. II, by Ruby. Again, the previous statement. All other times, it was implied that everyone presumed she was dead.

Both times, when her presumed deaths are mentioned by Yang in volumes 2 and 5, she never says she died -she only says that she, "left on a mission, and never came back." Plus, her grave is more like a memorial. You don't bury someone on a cliff edge, otherwise, it would cause it to collapse, taking the grave with it, or just sink right through. Now, I've seen a lot of people use the line on her "gravestone" as proof that she was cremated, and her ashes were scattered "Summer Rose/Thus Kindly I scatter", when actually, it's a reference to the poem she was based off of, "The Last Rose of Summer."

Also, we know for a fact that she was a silver-eyed warrior. When Salem and her crew were talking about Ruby and her silver-eyed power, Hazel mentions, "we've dealt with their kind before." Given everything we know, this could very well be Summer he is referring to... Which brings me to this next point... What if that sixth empty seat at Salem's table belongs to Summer? There was no reason for Hazel, or any of them to not mention her name if they killed her. And if they did kill her, they had no reason to not mention that did do so... But instead, it's somewhat implied that they didn't. Perhaps her mission had something to do with Salem, they decided to to bring her into their group because of her skill? I know this isn't a new theory, but just think about it. Let's get an interesting convo going on.
