Duane's other kid is sitting in the corner somewhere, eternally forgotten. /amused

Are there even waves if it isn’t real water?
Ashley
I lol'd heartily :D

OOC, did Eel Lion have to pull Duane's USB arm out, flip it over and try putting it in again?
Luuuuuuu
Plz someone do fanarts of this exact concept
Luuuuuuu
And her expression in response to this is absolutley perfect. She sees through it truly, profoundly, deeply, immediately; to her this Duane is after all Just Another Priest, and his words do him no favors in this regard.

i really like how this page invites sympathy for duane while also showing his failings. his rejoinder to khette feels good at first. like, fuck this awful brat. but it's pretty telling that, for the zillionth time, duane falls back into Stern Patrician voice when he could have tried showing empathy. he's done this to sette time and time again. and miki. and a lot of other people. sure, khette is a walking nightmare. but also, she's sette. and she just revealed some truly horrifying things to him. unfortunately for duane, he answers that in the worst way possible. to deny her self-conception with this patriarchal line about how she (he?) is "one more Child recklessly made and hideously used" is a real vicious cut. you're not a god, you don't have power, you never did, you probably shouldn't have been born in the first place, you're just a Sweet Summer Child misled by a wicked witch. it's gonna suck to see duane's memories eviscerated. but maybe with Papa Adelier burned out of his skull, duane will finally be able to grow past some of his long-held paternalistic assumptions.

It's cool. She's already dead and mutilated.
Ashley
Duane's pretty sticky, for a ghost. There's a reeeeeason.
Ashley
Nary would be pretty happy to trade old model Sette away from this new badass.
Ashley
She's a little 90s death metal band leader. Her gory album covers would be banned in forty states.
Rainwalker
Sans the tragic context, Khette with the glowing wings and one bloody eye surfin’ through time on a dead version of herself (that she murdered) to punch a ghost straight through his face is pretty metal. Gotta give her points for style.
Lulululu
Yeah... there is nothing more terrfying than this kind of power. Having a dozen guns pointed at you is a less horrifying prospect than realizing someone is able to control your very thoughts and feelings so completely that you can't even question it afterwards.
Luuuuuuu
Honestly if she took Nary's body I wouldn't even be mad
Rob N
... if she would let him live long enough to do it.
Ben Dennard
I’m just gonna tell myself that our Sette will find Duane’s memories and give them back to him at a pivotal moment later in the story. Cope’s makin me cope.
Dr. Badvibes
finally, a kid nary would approve of.

It was good of Duane's arm to just sit there and not vanish into constituent pieces. I reckon I've figured how Sette F's gonna save the day, by merging with First Sette and taking over the fusion by having fewer missing bits.
Capsandnumbers
She's so dynamic when she's beating the snot out of our beloved leads
akrasia
Evil children are the WORST!
Flyfly
Careful now, little girl! Children end up dead and mutilated when this guy is involved!

It makes Duane's reflexive fear at realising what Sette was capable of a bit more sympathetic, doesn't it? To have your very Self cupped in someone else's hands, to be casually squished and squashed around into the shape they want... our Sette would never cross this particular line, though 8( I don't think even first chapter Sette would've. She craves that lure of an honest connection too deeply.
Luuuuuuu
I get that a lot :3
Rifter
Luuuuuuu nooooo 😭
Luuuuuuu
I wanna see her surfing that timewater on a Setteboard
Rob N
Yeah, the eel lion plugging Duane's arm back in is some much needed comic relief, like the "om nom nom" last page. "Oopsie, did his arm come off? No problemo, lion fix! *plop* There, as good as new!"
Rifter
I think it's worse. She's either ripping out Miki or she's gonna scramble HIM up and replace Miki with HERSELF.
JarJar
This feels like overkill. Stepping on Sette's body, whatever she's doing now-- you'd think removing her memories would make her less of a vicious brat, but she keeps getting nastier.
Michael Stakely
I'm surprised she hasn't yanked out her memory of Sette biting her face to fix her eye yet. Also just now noticing the First Soul's reaction to this is different than the past few pages.
JarJar
Oh wait is she ripping out Miki? I thought she was ripping out Sette so she could replace her.
Rifter
No Ashley, don't do Duane like this. Don't take Mikaila away from him.
Ashley
Do you smell that? Smells like... pie... and rage...
Jag143
Ashley if you take Duane's memories of his family I swear I will ultimately do very little... But understand it will make me very sad
Luuuuuuu
Wouldn't it be fun if he had absolutely no memory of her next book~
Luuuuuuu
A Sette looks good with short hair.
cydonia
Miki's such a big part of Duane's life, surely Khette can't rip all the memories out in one go D': ....surely....
Jeremy Ball
Don't you dare, young lady...
