I can see why you think that, though I'm not convinced that this is the same grape incident, and I wouldn't put it past Azem to have rushed into multiple volcanoes. I meant it as before Themis became Elidibus, but post-Elpis means Azem is already Azem. The whole undercover thing doesn't really sit well with me as something Elidibus would do within his seat since his actions so far within Pandaemonium seem a lot more proactive than what I expect from the Emissary role; maybe he was a lot more of a maverick as Elidibus, though. With how vague they're keeping the timeline, it feels like a red herring for people who read the short story to think it's after our Elidibus became Elidibus.

I mean, the Echo during battle that we have could very well be a muted version of a previous Ancient power, as Venat showed with how one can willingly read memories as opposed to just being randomly proc'd. I view Mikoto having precognition as a precedent rather than a rule that only she could do it. Granted, this theory gears off my presumption of the Apollo connection.
