There's a cool detail connecting the HS1 to the epilogues and into HSBC that I think is interesting that I don't think I've ever seen people talk about. Pre-retcon Terezi's last act before she died was to give John a list of instructions to create "4 MOR3 F4VOR4BL3 OUTCOM3" but "ONLY 1F YOU FOLLOW MY 1NSTRUCT1ONS TO TH3 L3TT3R, NO QU3ST1ONS 4SK3D!" John then proceeds to do every task he was given... except the last, which is to "give her your wallet." John doesn't know what this means, he's confused since he doesn't have the wallet and he doesn't know who he was even supposed to give it to, and assumes it must have been a mistake. Vriska and Terezi figure that she meant for him to give it to them as a method for storing Earth C, and it looks like they didn't need the wallet after all since they were able to figure out the code themselves. I've also heard a couple of folks say that Terezi was just fucking with John, partly out of some caliginous flirting. It does seem strange though that she would emphasize to follow her instructions "TO TH3 L3TT3R" only for the last step to be wishy washy and require us to "question" what she meant. It didn't sit right with me at the time, especially the idea that she would somehow make such a basic mistake after she was able to put together such exact instructions. She's too smart for that.
The thing is, he did give her his wallet, it just took a bit longer than we thought. About 7 years longer. After his fight with LE as he's bleeding out, he gave her the wallet that she would later use to store his body and take it to the new session to somehow resurrect him. If this is what she was referring to (I firmly believe so), it would have meant that Terezi saw not just to the end of the game, but past it, into the meat timeline when Dirk had taken over the narration (something only Terezi can hear). It kind of makes me wonder if she saw further than that, after all, storing John's body isn't the favorable outcome, resurrecting him (and getting her on HRT) is.
What do yall think?
