66 . Myrna, aka Mrs. Wallace

She "took Barret's hand" (in marriage). Get it?

To answer the earlier question, according to the Wiki, there was a FF7 novella that described how "Old Man Sakaki" made Barret's gun-arm. I use my privilege as a Westerner to decry any Japanese audience only audio skits, novellas, plays and random commercials as apocryphal. It seems like the devs retconned this into Dr. Sheiran? But also maybe Sheiran only fixed him up and didn't make the prosthetic. I don't remember.

As for Myrna, she feels like a big missed opportunity in Rebirth. In the original game I don't think she ever actually appeared in polygonal form; she was just mentioned casually in conversation. So at least we finally get to see Myrna (for all of 30 seconds). She appears during Barret's trial in the Temple of the Ancients, when the game suddenly transforms into the Last of Us Part II for a few minutes and we get a few close-ups of Barret's bloody stump. I would have liked if the first Corel flashback had been a bit longer and more interactive. Myrna could've had some time to actually be a character, and her reappearance in the Temple may have hit harder.

For example, if she had been in the Corel flashback we could have explored her chronic illness. According to the wiki, Myrna has some kind of chronic illness, which is part of the reason why Barret pushes for the reactor so hard to begin with. This isn't in the game though so again it's apocryphal. We could've also seen more of Marlene as a baby and how she and Eleanor/Dyne interacted. So yeah, a little bit of a missed opportunity imo. Still, in terms of character importance she feels pretty damn important to Barret.

Hint for minigame #38: Cute but pointless and redundant.
