    Cayde saw that Taniks is coming back in the Final Shape and decided to take matters into his own hands.
  • My theory is: I think this is the light of cayde but not actually cayde himself. He died physically, but Paracausaly or spiritually, he's still "alive" inside the traveler.
  • Something interesting: In season of the haunted, it was revealed that Ikora's nightmare was Cayde, but unlike everybody else, we never resolved her nightmare like we did for Crow, Caiatl, and Zavala or like we did for Eris. And from the Trespasser lore tab, it seemed as though she backed down and walked away, don't know if she ever resolved it.
    Somebody mentioned the possibility of Cayde being a 'lightmare', if you would, as opposed to nightmares. Makes Ikora's sole presence in the cutscene more critical. Ikora's inability to deal with her guilt and grief previously may be the very reason Cayde and Cayde alone is there, as opposed to seeing every dead guardian or nightmare.

    I’m guessing something about Cayde is a critical piece of our timeline. Elsie got sent back to when he became the vanguard as the start of her time loops, now he defies death and is in a timeline very different from the others Elsie has lived through.
  • @TheKarry500
    The tone of this teaser feels so much more like a hopeless finale and makes the weird lightfall interlude even more standout
  • @daydr3amer120
    I'm so happy to have Cayde back, but I'd be lying if I didn't say how excited I am to see Crow and Cayde interact with one another
  • @JbFaLLeN23
    If he is indeed back as a Lightbearing Guardian, it would make sense that he and Sundance are hesitant to have Sundance out in the open now. However, it might be something along the lines of Valhalla where ALL of the Traveler's Guardians live on in a "paradise" like place where they await the final battle between Light and Dark or the Gardener and the Winnower.

    The look of the portal is really telling. Watch the way the energy flows. Outside of the Traveler, the psychedelic pattern is being sucked in. In this teaser cutscene, it's flowing outward.
  • @emerald_lord2267
    The light radiating from the Ace of Spades as well as Cayde himself reminds me of the reforged Travelers chosen when it's at Max stacks of light, this glow through the cracks.
  • @Chikakko
    Okay, i believe in 2 things

    1- this is the inside of the traveler, but I believe that it goes even deeper in this space or plane

    2- cayde is dead, this is just a way of the traveler taling to us, using an avatar, or, this is cayde, but maybe a remnant of his light
  • @DieysonGomesCC
    Cayde hypothesis: The veil is described as the gateway to the memory of the universe, the veil is used to open the portal. So, at the other side of the portal, cayde is likely a manifestation of our memories of him.
  • @thehammer5164
    I missed Cayde and Nathan. Glad they’re coming back even if only for a limited time
  • @ATJStellar
    I have a feeling that cayde may be like the travelers version of a nightmare. Not actually cayde, but the memories and important parts of cayde before he died. The traveler brought back said Cayde traveler-nightmare to guide us on how to save itself.
  • @bekfistwolf8248
    I'm entirely on board with the idea that it's destiny's version of Valhalla. Guardians die, and are manifested in light wherever that is, I assume inside the traveler. Just makes the most sense to me.
  • @alter6243
    It would be so awesome if the guardian who died in the Savathun’s Song strike made an appearance even if it was just her voice. Could be a really cool moment with Sloane as well. You could also do a “I don’t even know who you are?” joke with Savathun. I wonder if any of the villains we’ve killed are in the Traveler like Oryx.
  • @xNeoNxCyaN
    I can only assume that Cayde will not be leaving this “afterlife”/inside the traveller situation, so I’m hoping there is another social space, and I’m hoping it’s a true open world where we can just walk out of the social space and go out to the open world after collecting your bounties or quests whatever is there but we’ll see
  • @johnjimenez8951
    When ever anything Destiny happens, the first thing that pops into my head is I wonder if Byf will explain this.
  • @Harbinger3721
    All I'll say is this. Caiatl standing in a well of radiance made me smile wayy more than it should've. She's already a monster in battle, imagine her boosted. Just a really cool teaser trailer.
  • @ApolloArdizzi
    It’s definitely light either emanating from Cayde or it’s a light based form of Cayde in the Traveller.

    If you look at Ace of Spades and compare it to the Travellers Chosen sidearm while it has a few stacks of its Gathering Light perk. Both guns emanate a similar light glow.
  • What if that's not the inside of the Traveler? At the end of Lightfall, when the Witness enters the portal, you can see that the portal is displaced from the surface of the Traveler. What if the triangle is a portal to the birthplace of the Light, and the Witness went there to destroy it from the root?
