Either way, there is 100% some sort of secret behind Darknest. It’s just a matter of how much longer it’ll take for them to finally spring it on is.

If he does have an alter ego of some kind I’m still assuming Fuyuki (Madoka’s father). As I’ve said before, he’d have access to the technology needed to pull something like this off, talks as if he’s encountered aliens before, and in general seems to take a rather dim view of the world.

Granted, that might be aping HeartCatch a bit but I can’t really think of anyone else we’ve met who would really make sense (plus it would give Madoka some much needed story focus to boot). Like I'll be honest.... in my fan game I'm making, I have my currently intended story mostly all planned, it's just, I'm holding off on making it for sure until we know if Darknest is who we think he is or not.... :)
