SOME OVA SPOILERS AHEAD

So I just watched =Hyouketsu no Kizuna (The Frozen Bond) = and I can't shake the feeling that Puck acts in a similar way to Subaru, says things that sound like something Subaru would say and also has knowledge of things that I think only a person from our world would have, for example when he talks about making shaved ice. Also, from my POV, a lot of scenes give an indication that before becoming Puck he was someone who maybe had romantic feelings for Emilia and now it seems they are more platonic because of Echidna's curse/contract she put on him.

So my working theory is that Puck is either:

a) Subaru who for some unknown reason had to use powers of the Authorities to become Puck and possibly travel back through time to be able to save Emilia from something that he couldn't save her from without doing so (I know it's quite a stretch)

b) Emilia's close relative, likely someone other than one of her parents (wiki mentions Emilia living with her aunt so maybe it's her as Puck being male doesn't really matter)

c) Emilia's close friend from times before the ice that just wants to protect her despite being technically dead himself (no idea who it could potentially be)

Some observations that I based the options on:

1. Emilia and Puck both don't remember their respective pasts

2. Puck remembers Emilia's past

3. Some of the comments that Puck makes that make him seem more like a modern person

4. Puck's indifferent attitude towards the world and I mean "world" both as an entity in itself and as a collection of all beings that live in it

5. The fact that Puck seems to at least intuitively know that it's ultimately alright to kill Subaru if Emilia dies first (I know, the spirit contract says that he will destroy the world if Emilia dies but that's different)

6. That dying pose Puck made when disappearing that one time in the OVA, Emilia thought he pretends every time but it's not clear if that's actually true

7. Emilia wears a white rose as an accessory and a white rose is a symbol of platonic love

8. Puck apparently apologized for something to Emilia after freeing her from the ice

I'm not completely sure but if I had to choose I'd bet my money that he is basically a version of Subaru. I know it's not much but all the other theories about Puck don't really make a lot of sense to me, at least the popular ones that I have read. On the other hand I am not intimately familiar with all the details about the world of Re: Zero but I found one other similar theory on Reddit: Link to the theory

Edit: Nevermind all that, after watching the last part of the OVA again I am now more convinced that Puck is Emilia's real father or Geuse or idk arghhh
