Random loss of wings?

I did it!

I collected all 69 wings of the game today (minus Eden). I was so proud of my 74 wings (the 5 others are from my first trip to Eden).

Then, a couple of hours later, I went to collect light in the Prairie with my son. I'm in the bird's nest and I see the child of light there shining and waiting for me!!!

I pick it up and the game tells me that I now have 73 wings.

So I lost two!!! Either while I wasn't playing (a bug?), or I lost two without realizing I was losing two...

How is this possible?

Does anyone know?

I am quite confused.

Thats a bug I believe! Some times some children of light don’t register despite looking like they do. I have this problem most often with the shiny boi at the end of forest

The weird stuff is that I collected the one in the Bird's Nest days ago, I even went yesterday and it wasn't there.

Also, the count of 74 at the end of my run today was on my screen, so I assume that it was registered. Hmm...

Maybe you got krilled? Or sat in the rain or polluted water, left your phone, and lost a couple while you were gone. Also, there are 80 winged lights, there"s a new one in Vault.

You're not answering my question.

I ended my wing collection today with 74 wings.

Having collected all the wings in the usual areas (minus Eden).

When I picked up the game again, I found a wing in the Bird's Nest, which I had previously collected. After collecting it again, I have 73 wings.

Which means that I lost two, either while I wasn't playing or without realizing I was losing them.

I know how light gets lost. If I had done those, I would have noticed.

Well, if you get krilled and lose light, the stars will go back to their children randomly.
