Speculation time! Who is Alluka waving to?

A+ No spoiler, but big image alert. Symbolic loss of innocence through the attainment of the capacity to kill? It's a war story.

"And finally, that man awakens..."

The new movie gave away some potential music cues, so I will make some predictions for the arc's major events.
