There's someone on Twitter who made a very interesting speculation about Valkyrie = Cygnus(Swan constellation), for any one interested.

In Marionette event story, the chapters in which Shu was broken is titled "Swan Song". In folklore swans on the verge of death would sing the most beautiful song only once. And in the world of theater, the term swan song means a performer's last performance.

And then back to the latest event "Milky Way". The Cygnus constellation is found in the Milky Way and it depicts a swan which has spread its wings wide. So in this time's story, the swan which did not finish his song from the previous time spread its wings again, resurrected.

Incidentally, there's a binary star called Albireo in the constellation of Cygnus. In the classic Japanese literature "Night on the galactic railroad/(sometimes translated to Night on the Milky Way Train)", it was described like they were Topaz and Sapphire. Yellow and Blue gems -> Mika's eye colours.
