Connection to Laufey
Ragnarök leaves the Norse world cracked open. Asgard falls, Odin dies, and Atreus walks into a new future, but the ending is not simple extinction. That unsettled aftermath is exactly the kind of space Laufey can dig into, whether through memory, myth, or whatever the Everywhen really turns out to be.
