Nice theory, Forgon. It ties up a few loose plot strings quite nicely. I'm also of the thought that Raph came back to his senses after Nightmare was defeated in story mode (and Soul Edge changed hosts), possibly after a soul visit to Astral Chaos, because that's where all the cool kids are hanging out these days. I had taken note of how Viola's bio was written, implying that her memories had in fact already returned (causing her and Zwei to part ways), but I had written that off as a translation oddity or simply strange wording, but you've got me convinced that it in fact harkens to story content that didn't make the deadline cut. Hurray for reading between the lines.
