I think bringing him back would do a disservice to the show him dying in the 3rd episode is ment to shock the viewer and get them in the headsspace that anyone can die, also the main theme of the story is the perseverance of humanity and what it means to leave a legacy bringing him back would undermine all of that |

| The opening has one misleading scene where a young man is standing and it transits to Rafal in the same position, it made me think he was gonna turn out to be alive, but how many years do you think have passed since he died? Even if he was alive somehow he'd be an oldman by now and no one really wants that. Now the next episode's thumbnail on Netflix has Rafal on it, so maybe we'll have a flashback of him, maybe Potocki will come back and help with heliocentrism, or maybe it's just a random thumbnail? Either way I'm sure Rafal is long dead. |

Either way I'm sure Rafal is long dead. He was only 12 years-old when he died in custody and then there was a 10 year time skip and much more recently within the past several episodes, a 25 year timeskip. So it's only been around 35 years in total since then, meaning he would only be around 47 years-old. I'm not saying that he's likely to still be alive somewhere (as, say, Jolenta and Nowak were all these years unbeknownst to the other) in hiding or anything like that, and I don't think that he is, but just that if he had somehow survived what had happened in episode three or there was some twist pertaining to that like the body burned after his self-inflicted drugging/poisoning was swapped out and someone else's or something outlandish like that, then it's not as if he would be 100 years-old or have died from age-related illness. |

| @WatchTillTandava Man no need to over explain, I got what you're trying to say from the first sentence lol. Maybe he wouldn't be that old but he'd be old enough that he's a completely different character, so even if the writer chose to bring him back as fanservice it'd be pointless. |
