Another line jumped out at me, when Vrin is explaining their history to Agatha, explaining that they were to protect the Holy Child from those who would come for her. "We knew when they would come. We knew what they would do. We knew their powers and abilities-"
Does that sound like time windows looking forward, something Lucrezia would know, or just undefined prophecy in line with the rest of their pre-"end of world" prophecies? Either way it's interestingly specific. Any time you have prophecies that run up to a specific time and stop, in a story with time travel elements, that's interesting. Given that it lines up with a change in the aspect of their goddess from joyful (who looks like Lucrezia) to sharp (who looks Enigma-like), that's also interesting.
