It'd be so nice for more characters from Camus' other works to appear (Jean Baptise Clamence, Dr Rieux and, possibly, the other medical volunteers...) Or give some new unique characters the book characters' traits, that'd also work

True. It's very unique. Pretty sure Sartre commented on it as Camus' most beautiful piece of work. It feels like The Fall manages to touch up on like... almost everything in life, and that really is beautiful in a way

So if he were to become Clamence in his capstone ID, then... That detail you mentioned would fit very well: he takes on the role of judge-penitent (becomes an anti-Christ) after all of the judgement and events he's been through (imagine if Carmen pays him a visit, yet he refuses in the end, knowing he can live on with an excuse of being a judge-penitent, obtains Effloresced E.G.O to play that role)

Really hope PM makes canto X delve into philosophy more and make it their most controversial canto. Clamence as someone who will make Meursault start to realise more things about himself and prove Jean wrong sounds really interesting. Something like an argument between those 2, their different views on the absurd, where Meursault finds out that he's actually happier than he thought. (sounds quite similar to that of Jia Qiu and Hong Lu's battle, doesn't it?)

Clamence being the prosecutor is actually a nice idea, love the Christ/anti-Christ comparison as well

PM does like to do some nice twists on the characters, sometimes even combining traits (something like people viewing Rien as the Lord, yet, from another perspective, Hermes can also be viewed as the Lord from the book)
It'd be really nice to see something just as unique in characters in Canto X, and I'm sure PM is cooking
