Allow me to fuel the insanity (sorry not sorry op)
The Island was erased from existence. Any evidence was doomed to never be understood, all trace of it in people's minds gone. If no one knows or remembers it, does it exist?
I like to imagine that island, the people, everyone and everything regarding it was built from stars. Their lives and culture and identity was forged from the small lights speckled across the sky. If even an identity was made purely from those stars, the very basis and life of home, by nature of the island, of their home, being erased from existence, so was the identity of those who remained.
From what I've gotten from playing the game, Siffrin remembers most out of everyone we've met so far. They can understand the language, at some point they remember the stars, they get moments of knowing home, of parents and spicy malanga fritters and broken teacups. Maybe Loop calls them stardust, because, like Loop said, they're what remains. Their memories, their cloak, their hat, their language, their culture, their religion, all of those are something that, by the end of the game as far as we know, are something only Siffrin can hold on to now. Siffrin is stardust because they hold on to the remains of the star that was destroyed. The bits and pieces they know and have so quickly stitched into their being are all that remains.
he doesn’t remember the stars??? that’s what frin’s supposed to remember?? is it cause they’re home!! cause he homes from the stars!!! like the king does!!! but then why doesn’t he remember them?? did the stars have like a collapse or an exodus or something?? and that’s why he can never go back?? why the king was a nameless traveler with no home?? why frin was?? why loop calls him stardust?? cause he’s what’s left of a star?? or of their home?? or of someone he used to be when he was at home in the stars??
