It seems that User:AeD's classification is very close to mine. And the new info/nothing new distinction seems to be a comic-book analogue of new footage/archival footage criterion used here. On the one hand, policies of other wikis are not directly applicable. On the other hand, it is instructive to know how a society devoted solely to comic books treats such things.

I have one proposal though. Let us exclude Petals from this discussion. I fear that it is too open to interpretation: is it mere memory? are they helping? are they watching? is he talking to them? are they talking to him? I suspect that context matters for that story and that it is one of the cases that would need to be discussed separately no matter the general rules.
