Looks like she snagged what she wanted from the start. And it looks like it gives her whatever control of Duane she chooses to have. This could be a problem.

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.

HandsomePenguin

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).

You're free to make whatever predictions you like. I don't do comics to fool anyone, just to tell a story :)

Ashley

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.

Kay

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?

Srećko

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

Gally

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

Rainwalker

Definitely not. This isn't how the process is supposed to work.

Ashley

Yep, looks like she gave herself a trim.

Ashley

I wounder what crucial, plot relevant memory that was.... I suppose if we ever Settle again we might find out....

Sergris

…did other Sette rip out some of her own memories?! Already?! Parts of her look wispy in that (gorgeous) third panel.

jumanji-mongie

Ohhh, this is where all the frigged up eels Duane saw were coming from. That's an awful lot of memories to lose.

Sergris

I'm like 20% sure aren't actually tears of joy

Luuuuuuu

Gone batty? I'd say she was already crazy enough when we first saw her...

Rob N

Man that First Soul seems pretty unhappy. Does it like what’s happening to it?

Madison

i love the pause before she says TIRNA!! imagining the dead air for a second is pretty funny

Dr. Badvibes

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.

Capsandnumbers

the third panel on this page is really beautiful. and man, poor Duane has NO context for what's going on

Natalie

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.

Jeremy Ball

Sette (Frummagem) ate the eye

Duke BG

Thanks, man!

Ashley

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.

Rifter

They do often have lil frills, or 'manes'...

CD

Just gotta comment on how cool panel 3 looks. Art!

chrysannarose

Starting to think it probably might, all things considered

Luuuuuuu

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?

L Anon

...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...

Luuuuuuu

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.

L Anon

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!

Ashley

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.

Inwoods

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

Capsandnumbers

What do you mean? She's right there having a triumphant moment!

Luuuuuuu

Looks like she's just a few more cast aside memories from shredding herself to nothing. A villainous monologue would probably do her in.

Michael Stakely

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]

CD

Please tell me Sette isn't dead 😭😭😭 noooooo. Damn you Khetteeeeeeeee!!

metrocube

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.

Luuuuuuu

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:

Ashley

Ooh... she's gone batty.

astine

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.
