The April 2024 version:

  • The vines (similar to the ones in her skill) are completely missing, making the background look empty.
  • The blood from her eye actively moves down her cheek.
    • The blood is also a deeper color.
    • Her eye does not have a bright flash when uncovered.
  • Her hair has many differences:
    • It was shaded completely differently and missing a lot of its unique strands.
    • Her hair is much more spread out in the back.
    • The hair around her lower face area was absent.
  • Her character has no unique shading.
  • There were much less of her flowers in the foreground.
  • Originally, her flowers would have blurred around the screen instead of her vines.
  • The Tacet Marks that open at the end of her animation are absent.
