this is going back over old news, but the connection didn’t occur to me until just now, seeing two unrelated posts in close proximity: the presence of human paraphernalia (a globe depicting the Earth, a bedframe for her cocoon) in Fiamet’s residence (top) no doubt has something to do with her axolotl lusus having been sighted on Earth in the past?
add another missed connection to this pile; the mossy stone walls and floor of Fiamet’s place obviously indicate she literally lives in this cherub temple revealed in an earlier sahcon presentation, so speculation that an older portal lives here would lend itself to the idea of some earlier exchange between the two planets.
I doubt Fiamet has been on the quest herself, but perhaps her lusus has been on scavenging missions through the portal and brought back souvenirs for her charge? the Christmas lights on Fiamet’s bedframe might even suggest a New Perigee’s Eve connection, since that’s the holiday where a lusus goes out scrounging for shitty gifts…?
