EDIT: If you come here to comment how any topic about being LGBT is political, save yourself the trouble. I will no longer reply to these kinds of statements as they border on violating t.o.s. if you believe that who someone loves is political I feel bad for you.
First off, if you haven't read the lore of Wolftone Draw please take a moment to do so; https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/wolftone-draw
Now that you've done that, welcome. I'd like to talk about and discuss with other's the implications of this lore along with the reveal of Savathun.
My most pressing questions; Do you think Osiris is still really alive? If so what kind of state do you think he will return in?
And
When and [b]IF[/b] Osiris comes back, do you think Bungie will finally implicate them as a relationship in game?

I plan on answering my own questions here of course but I really want to know what the rest of you think!
This is probably the most heart/gut wrenching aspect of this season and it has me absolutely enamoured. It has been a [i][b]LONG[/b][/i] time since I was waiting on the edge of my seat for weekly refresh and it is probably more biased for me, but this story is holding my attention in a vice.
I've seen Saint and Osiris as a romantic relationship back when Trials of Osiris first dropped in House of Wolves and we got more and more lore about the two. And the bits and pieces of lore tidbits that we've gotten over these last few years has only made my heart swell with appreciation and excitement not only for something I saw as a potential relationship being confirmed but because Saint-14 is one of my absolute favorite characters and getting to see him and Osiris represent me and my fellow LGBT friends is such a refreshing breath of air.
I personally hope that Osiris is still alive and Savathun delivers upon her promise of giving him back unharmed but knowing the basis for Witch Queen, I can't help but feel that this is simply part of her plan. The Lore of Wolftone implies that Osiris is, infact, alive- but that isn't to say that Savathun isn't planning on killing him once our part of the deal is over. Thus the events of Witch Queen take place. I hope this isn't the case but it would all make sense.
Holding him captive and forcing him to answer her questions about the light, ect; only to deliver him back to us (and Saint) only for him to either:
A: have become so dependant on the holding realm that Savathun has kept him in that he can no longer function in our world.
B: is perfectly fine but is struck down by Savathun before she escapes.
Or C: Is delivered back to us already dead.
I am hoping for the best possible outcome and call my cynical but if you know anything about LGBT representation in media it [b]always[/b] ends in tragedy. There may be one or two exceptions to this but I just cannot shake the feeling that this isn't the case here.

I'm hoping Osiris comes back unharmed and him and Saint get to share a warm and endearing embrace and everything will be fine- but I feel in my heart of hearts this is simply not going to be the case.
Please feel free to share your thoughts/ideas on this subject! I'd love to know what you all think as well!

Bungie has yet to prove in Endgame to convince me they are more then a Brotherly Love towards each other. Twitter doesn't count. [quote](LGBT+/Ally only plz)[/quote] seriously??
