He has so much warring inside of him, from his recent revelation about Lemuel, to his nasty fight with Ilganyag, to the little Sette clone ripping into him, to Sette herself being DEAD - he's gone a bit numb. He's in some ways as scattered and confused as First Sette was on the last page, and in a bit of a daze.
But he's gonna do his best, and he'll come around as he talks. It's helpful for him to talk. It's what he's best at o_o
Big update on Monday though, I don't want to drag this conversation out.

Did Duane really just βand Zoidbergβ poor little Bugaboo? For shame, Duane! Ahhh but this opening of hearts is long needed. I remember that epic battle, Duane! π

And turning back

Sure, just like βIsabel Neβer-Do-Well.β

I think the "epic battled an entire town" was Sette-style on purpose, for her benefit.

He's touching her hindquarters. All he ever wanted were her hindquarters. Child lover!
Luuuuuuu
Glad Duane's taking careful care of her body now, this'd be the worst time to screw that up

It's a bit ironic that losing her soul is the key to learning where she stands with her friend.

I love this story so much.
Ashley
He was wordless on the last few pages too, just hanging back, trying to collect his thoughts (literally, with Boo's help), determine if it was safe to even get near these girls. The man's having a day!

I see that in Duane's dialogue, he's a bit scattered, has to work his way up to his normal polysyllabic pontificating self
Ashley
It's listening very closely tho.

Wehhh. I very much like Sette coming to acknowledge this is a two way street also! He pulls down his hood, signalling he's here and listening... but it's not easy! What if he doesn't like the truth? She's always skirted around it, ducked half the hands he HAS extended. ...But Sette darling please make that leap soon, your flesh is turning colours π

Time to have that conversation about being together forever again. This time no tricks! Hopefully!
GracieV
Being real with each other.

This hit me right in the feels

I appreciate that the moment where Sette learns she has no current control over Duane or Boo is this quiet one, rather than during a power play between Settes. (Also, I like that Sette F is having the same eel problem that we keep seeing First have; they are one of a feather.)

Oh.

More birb, now in the background.
