It is possible that Anna is Brandish's mom which would explain the fact that Brandish somehow had a connection with Layla.

Maybe, just maybe, those two tried to worked together to help Zeref lose his immortality with the use of their celestial magic which totally explains the fact that they are all connected to Zeref and him alone.
