Its certainly not impossible but Sirius was the dark side of Celianne and, by the end of the series, the problems (his and Celianne's dark side) were effectively solved. The whole reason Celianne's dark side was reincarnated was regret and the sort, unfinished business so to speak. Sirius, in the story, solves all of his issues and dies as the hero he'd always wanted to be (and believed he was until meeting Apollo). I feel like, at some point, people need to stop reincarnating and when you're past grievances are sorted out would seem like the best time to do it.

There doesn't need to be another reincarnation. The way I am looking at it is that Apollo himself had two aspects to his soul: the modern aspect (the one that existed in the OS) and the past aspect that was known as Apollonius. They share a soul but their identities are still somewhat unique. The Apollonius part of him would have, effectively, at the end of the original story been with an aspect of Celianne as well as himself, therefore at peace and whole. The remainder of Apollo(nius) that loved Sylvia (the other part of Celianne) was left wanting and wandering until reborn, similarly Sylvia was reborn and looking for Apollo.

This is what I meant, that the part of Apollo that was left that still wanted to be with Sylvia is what reincarnated. The rest remained dead and buried because it was, in one way or another, satisfied.

Carnations and roses in animation are hard to differentiate and, as such, I said it was a baseless assumption. The meanings change if they are indeed roses: White is purity, black is death. But that was just a completely off the wall aside to just play around with that whole *reverse* power.

If Mikono is Sylvia, then is natural that he wants to protect her and he could mistake that for romantic love (seeing that they aren't actually in love so far).

Wouldn't it be ironic? He gets attracted to her because she's like his mom... even to the point of being the reincarnated form of the thing his mom played in her movie. (And could, in a strange distant way, be his great-x120-great grandmother's soul.)

Spoiler:

Good call, I had completely forgotten what the original looked like.

I still find it odd that they threw that book in the middle of the gattai... and, in a way, in the middle of the ED too. The first it separates Mikono from Amata and Zessica, the second time it separates Zessica and Yunoha from the rest of the group. I think they just threw it in to troll us... >.>
