Since MIPJunior's coming up next weekend there's a good chance we'll get our first looks at the untitled 2026 series from there (we got early previews for BWBA and AEG from there before), so I made a bingo chart of potential returnees in anticipation of that

So an interesting piece of information I got from Sam Wilkinson during my exhibition slot at AE5
"Conrad's Bridge" was apparently the production name used for the Castle Tunnel from S3; I'm unsure how this factors into "Tidmouth Tunnel", which is also marked separately on the map

Thus, I've come to this conclusion: it's a metaphor for the story of Oliver and Tobias in this film.
Oliver starts out confident, but is dragged back down to his former timid self by Tobias. Though both try to forge a new future for themselves, neither are able to escape the influence of the past.

1. Laournaeth and Roansfield - both linked to Toby's past - are both next to large bodies of water
2. The Warshire Reset - which brings back the dormant personality - is based around water

As others have pointed out before, Tobias is the Sun and Oliver is the Moon - we see this in various bits of symbolism throughout the film
Recently, however, I came to another realisation about symbolism in TATAM: water represents the past
