The flintlock pistol from Predator 2 appears — given to a trapper ancestor of the one who’d later give it to Harrigan. It’s a respectful nod, not a Marvel-style “hey remember this?” moment. Naru returns to her tribe wearing the Predator’s head as a trophy. No fanfare. No celebration. Just exhausted, bloody acknowledgment. Prey 2022
