The sun's up. It's gonna be okay :)

This so beautiful and so tragic all at once. We have to turn a corner, Cope. I can’t be crying EVERY time I check Patreon.

I so misunderstood your author’s note. I thought you were saying Boo was chasing them away for some reason. Which made me even more curious. I should have known that Boo would never…
Malik M.L. Williams
Wondering the same thing. I want to chase down those strays and take a peek…
Ashley
Agreed. It will also make much more sense with the page AFTER it, since you'll immediately see Boo catching those green memories. Ah, well, such are webcomics!

Wow, the mystery of the first soul continues, after a poignant fall from grace. Bad days always catch up to us.
Reed Copperstrand
This page really should be read together with the one before. The imagery of hanging head down and then falling is really potent.
Ashley
To an extent. Think of all the things you can't remember!
Ashley
Let's see how it goes.

You’ve been thrown from your throne 😜

Depends - her memories didn't expode apart but First still has the human soul, and Frummagem's body has been physically dead for quite awhile now...
Jeremy Ball
Can you even really die in the khert though? Wasn't Sette only "drowning" in the "water" before because she thought she could? Maybe she's just having an existential crisis combined with an out of body experience. :D
Luuuuuuu
Duane might have to find her a new body, like First Sette was gonna make him do. What do you think of stuffing Sette's soul into a strapping Crescian soldier?
Gaby
Is Sette having her soul back now? What happens to her if she doesn't?

Boo proves her/him/them/itself to be the true MVP here! Actually, I think the chapter should be called "Boo ex Machina"...
Luuuuuuu
May it always be alien; plenty of human disease destroy the mind and force lose of memories, both specific and general and otherwise.
Luuuuuuu
...and no one there to catch her.
Spider
Its going to be very interesting seeing who Duane and Sette are, both to each other and themselves, after this. The idea of losing very specific memories is so fundamentally alien that it stands to reason it could alter your core personality.
Ashley
Well, Unsounded cheats a little in that regard by playing so literally with memories. But yeah, it does sometimes make it a little easier to mesh action with emotion with character development.

I didn't want First to succeed because of what it would have cost. I'm sad to see her fail nonetheless. Poor little symbol. In another life... if the plan had worked, in many... but no. Too many authors stacked against her to escape.
Ashley
They're pretty big chunks so they're surely of more than that. They look like whole events - stuff he would definitely want back.
Alight
Gyah! My thrown! I have been foisted from first comment at last!

The strays have almost turned into squishes themselves, didn't they? One of them gotta be of his favorite wine. Damn.

I neglected to mention Monday but one of a billion things I wish battle manga took from your comic is how you folded the antagonist’s tragic backstory into the climatic blow instead of obliging us to read/watch on for the next dozen chapters while the author tries to makes the audience feel guilty for rooting for the protagonists. It’s almost like their tragic flaws should be their undoing instead of their subpar power levels
Rifter
Oh now I'm intrigued. Wonder what pieces Duane will lose. If it will be anything major or just little pieces of broader memories from his life, like someone's name or face missing here and there. Either way, good job helping out, Boo!

go boo go!
