I can NOT wait until I get to read the entire story start to finish with the knowledge of how it all ends. See what little hints and foreshadowing flew right over my head.

Okay, here it goes! I'm fearing that Khette is going to escape the Khert with Duane in tow, where she takes the joke "you're my attack zombie" far too literally. The two go to Alderode looking for Sette's brother. Meanwhile, our Sette continues to exist, and...this is where it gets wild, but she gets in contact with the only person who might still care about Duane, Miki. Both daughters have to work together to save their dad (tho at first Miki just looks at it like stopping a monster).
Ashley
You're free to make whatever predictions you like. I don't do comics to fool anyone, just to tell a story :)
Kay
Ashley, do you mind if we make predictions here in the comments? Knowing you won't confirm or deny, of course! I have an itch of an idea that each new page keeps feeding. This sequence of events has me in a death grip, thank you for all that you do.

Fellas I'm starting to lose sanity trying to follow this mythology, are we still waiting Al-Yisun to eat heart of Lorkhan or is Azathoth gona wake now?
Gally
this is an amazing page, the vibrancy of the first sette compared to the corpse of our sette and the weeping 1st soul and Duane having the worst day of his afterlife aaaa
Rainwalker
Oh, Khette…. Girl learns she can cut away memories and immediately tears herself to pieces. I’m sad for Sette Frummagem but I have a lot of sympathy for Khette; I don’t know that I would’ve done any different, in her shoes
Ashley
Definitely not. This isn't how the process is supposed to work.
Ashley
Yep, looks like she gave herself a trim.
Sergris
I wounder what crucial, plot relevant memory that was.... I suppose if we ever Settle again we might find out....
jumanji-mongie
…did other Sette rip out some of her own memories?! Already?! Parts of her look wispy in that (gorgeous) third panel.
Sergris
Ohhh, this is where all the frigged up eels Duane saw were coming from. That's an awful lot of memories to lose.
Luuuuuuu
I'm like 20% sure aren't actually tears of joy
Rob N
Gone batty? I'd say she was already crazy enough when we first saw her...
Madison
Man that First Soul seems pretty unhappy. Does it like what’s happening to it?
Dr. Badvibes
i love the pause before she says TIRNA!! imagining the dead air for a second is pretty funny
Capsandnumbers
Lady I was confident she could put Khette's mind into Sette F's body, imo the same thing she did with Murkoph, so there's at least the idea that they could do the same with Sette F's mind. Maybe the plod factory will be useful for this, we know the book's climax is happening there.
Natalie
the third panel on this page is really beautiful. and man, poor Duane has NO context for what's going on
Jeremy Ball
Aww... lookit her, she's got little claws now too, and wings. I wonder if scritching the top of her head while babytalking would make her angrier or confuse her enough to calm her down.
Duke BG
Sette (Frummagem) ate the eye
Ashley
Thanks, man!
Rifter
Well, Sette ate it didn't she? Am I missing the significance?
Rifter
My guess is Murkoph waits for the opportune moment as they're about to leave and jumps on at the last second, then he'd likely scurry off as soon as they reach the other side.
CD
They do often have lil frills, or 'manes'...
chrysannarose
Just gotta comment on how cool panel 3 looks. Art!
Luuuuuuu
Starting to think it probably might, all things considered
L Anon
Assuming Khette-- excuse me, Tirna-- lets him. There's a nonzero chance she either fucks Murkoph up, or makes him pay for the ride-along.
L Anon
So Jac's soul-half probably looks like a squish?
Luuuuuuu
...and where d'you suppose that missing eye of hers is...
Luuuuuuu
Y'know, it might not be that eels look like eels because they're trying to look like eels - it might be they look that way because they're trying to look like the First Soul...
L Anon
Well, I thought we'd already gone from zero to a hundred, then zero to a thousand. Somehow, Ashley's still got juice left in the tank and this ride has no brakes.
Ashley
Yeah, I love how it's not all knotted in her hair; instead its wings are sprouted fully from her like they're her own. Unlike Sette, who has no interest in it, she's embracing it wholly and ready to go. Let's be evil! Frig it!
Inwoods
This takes me back to Order of the Stick’s vampire posession of all things, albeit in reverse. The more bad memories she hacks away, the closer she is to our Sette. Hmm.
Capsandnumbers
She wears the first soul much less awkwardly! It's so cool to see eels coming off of her, bet she has some tough worst days
Luuuuuuu
What do you mean? She's right there having a triumphant moment!
Michael Stakely
Looks like she's just a few more cast aside memories from shredding herself to nothing. A villainous monologue would probably do her in.
CD
Well I have to admire the apotheosis glow-up, even though I wasn't expecting her to be able to utiluse the Soul so readily! Sessine didn't seem to think it possible - but then Sessine didn't know about the possibilities Sette was creating, which may have affected the Soul's properties...? 🤔 That or First is gravely overestimating her hold on it. Regardless I'd say it's time for Sette to return the god metaphor favour and take a Yerta-bite out of First Tirna, but OHHH SHE ALREADY DID THAT [snaps fingers weakly]
metrocube
Please tell me Sette isn't dead 😭😭😭 noooooo. Damn you Khetteeeeeeeee!!
Luuuuuuu
God, you have got to love a triumphant villain.
Luuuuuuu
And has, uh, a fair few more centuries of garbage packed in there than the Frummagem model ever built up.
Ashley
It definitely looks like she's ripping out memories now that she knows that's something she can do. Unfortunately, she doesn't have Sette Frummagem's years of experience with it, so uh, she's not doing the most artful job D:
astine
Ooh... she's gone batty.
Rifter
Damn, totally forgot about the ability to control Duane. Khette just isn't going to let him die. I suppose she still needs him to escape the khert, eh? And Murkoph is presumably just going to jump along for the ride.
