Even if you read it that way, it doesn't change the fact that Lakshmi made this statement based on an unsubstantiated declaration of Ana's death... if I recall the rumors from the lore correctly, Ana was [i]presumed[/i] dead because no one ever saw her again. Lakshmi would, of course, speak as if those presumptions were true, because that's what the general public believed... but that doesn't necessarily make it true. [quote]After the Collapse, Ana was revived by a Ghost named Jinju. Unlike most Guardians, Ana had knowledge about her past life due to a Clovis Bray ID she was wearing upon her revival. She became a hero of the Last City, but disappeared after the Battle of Twilight Gap, with many [i]believing[/i] her dead, in order to investigate her past.[/quote] Lakshmi isn't all-knowing :)
