Two pages today. Not ominous at all that this timed out this way, I'm sure 2025 will be just fine because we are enlightened and very sophisticated people not at all swayed by superstition.

Please don't be mad at me.

that top right panel of sette on page 2 is so well done. great moment of pathos. didn't damage me at all, obviously.

Dr. Badvibes

hmmmmm. we shall see.

Dr. Badvibes

You're absolutely right! And this IS the khert. So that's encouragement to keep the faith and trust where the story takes us, yeah? :)

Ashley

But but but she's the main character!

czytanie

Sette goes bodily inside the khert, we've seen it a few times. This time, her body got itself strangled.

Ashley

I'm confused by this. Or maybe I'm in denial. How can someone kill someone in the khert? Isn't it all just souls & memories?

czytanie

Aw. I was so hoping she could have pulled out a dirty-fighting trick from growing up as a Sharteshanian but no sand to throw or clever palmed daggers in a place where the ground is people. Happy new year - out with the old, in with the new? Y_Y

Velasco

Creg List is a cromulent Crescian name, if a bit shady. If you buy from him make sure you make the transaction in a public place.

Velasco

Sette would go nuts if she was intangible. She couldn't steal pocketwatches or eat pie or pick locks! There are some fates worse than death v_v

Ashley

Aww, it's been a very long story. You have to have at least SOME trust in me by now :)

Ashley

Yeah, Duane, check the local Classified section. Pull up Khert's List.

Ashley

She tried, and I debated making her throat and jaw all cut up where she'd tried to free herself, but it distracted from the pathos, so I refrained. Her nemesis knew what she was doing though, it only takes a few seconds to cut the blood flow off to the brain to knock a person out.

Ashley

I refuse to believe it!

Stretch Andrews

Maybe, but... where is it? Also... First Sette can kill ghosts... look how she just blew up her mom and brother...

Luuuuuuu

Anyone remember BizzAnon's comment on https://www.patreon.com/posts/17-143-144-84989838 ? I think about it a lot.

Andelie

Also Feels correct, in a way. Hard to describe- you talk about death as a change he needs to deal with re Duane. What New he needs to become. Sette is also something new, as Khette said- what kind of changes will come from Sette now fulfilling this ‘role’ ten years late? She was never meant to live this long…. So…. What has she become….? Excited for what’s next!!!!

>wake up in the new year >remember there's an Unsounded update >open site >see this >roll over and go back to bed (I gave 2025 enough of a chance, wake me in 2026.)

Lulululu

You know, for as much as Duane bemoans his parenting style, Nary Frummagem kept this kid alive in a world of criminals for DECADES and Duane couldn't even manage, what, six months? Weak.

Eggo

I was under the impression you had said this was coming. You don't pull your punches though, do you.

Spen Cyrrh

Her ghost is certainly intact, the way all the other Settes' ghosts are intact. It's just, how's she going to come home now?

astine

(个_个)

astine

God this is sad :(

J

She literally could have clawed herself out though. What's the point of having lion claws if you aren't going to use them to rip cloth out.

Mek

Oh, I'm a little mad :( I hope something of her lives on.

Runeloon

When (quite some time ago) you wrote that not all characters will survive the end of this book, this was definitely not what I was expecting. I was actually thinking Duane won't.

Duke BG

Goodnight, sweet princess.

Flyfly

Really interested to see how the story is going to continue from here. That last panel is so sad, but so beautiful. I love the torn(?) khert, and the blueness. It's so calm and tragic. (obligatory joke through the tears in my eyes) w-well.. look if the spare one is still around, Duane...,,she lost a brother tragically just recently..

jaaama

Happy new year and big oofies. This one's going to take time to cope with.

Tony Wilkey

-_-

SET

OW OOF OWW

Spider

Lets see how long can I stay in denial phase.

Srećko

A lot depends on how this key moment is handled from here on out as to whether I can stick with it. I am trusting that you will achieve something amazing. Just don’t take too long.

TEB

Tragic but not a shock. Beautifully done, miss Cope. Now, how much first light would it take to get her the Timofey treatment?

Rogbull

I had feeling this was coming, beautifully portrayed as always! I’m coping hard and believing somehow this won’t be the end of our Sette!! Let’s get that soul back Duane

Moss on Trees

Oh...oh...this hurts. Sette's face is piercing my heart. The constrast with her living face...the expressions are incredible. I was afraid this was coming but I'm speechless.

Kay

OH no! ash! looks like sette got the Disney Pinocchio death! dam this is a hard page though, keep up the amazing story

redink

Happy New Year! On one level, I saw this coming. It doesn't take long to strangle someone, Sette was weakened by taking down Final Forme Ilganyag, and Duane was taking too long. But on the other hand, it's still... well, how can it be anything but a shock? It's not a *surprise*, but it is still emotionally stupefying. Hard to imagine the story going on without Sette Frummagem.

L Anon

Damn that got me...

Rifter

Oh... marmalade.

Jeremy Ball

Damn. He lost another one :/ [visibly holding back tears] Happy (?) New Year! Hopefully 2025 isn't already dead in the water like our beloved Sette.

Cassie

Just in time as always, Duane, ever the hero.

Luuuuuuu

I still believe Sette will turn out all right (not just a ghost in the khert) somehow! Damn, this is heartbreaking (in the meantime?), though....

Rebecca L

never mad but also hfjdkalajakjl 😭😭 not sette.

Natalie

Alright, I'll trust ya!

Rifter

The comic will always be here for you, Ava, and I truly do appreciate you being so kind to stick around <3 I'll see you in the coming year!

Ashley

*You have alerted the horde* Got any boomer bile? - Thanks for the year Ashley. It's been lovely. I'll let everyone else pontificate, but I'll talk of my personal experience. I genuinely didn't expect to get, to live this far. As you know. It's been really quite the nice experience to survive alongside the comic's release. It's felt like the slow plodding of good, of painful and mundane times, getting through time in hospital and under the knife has been bookmarked by your steady and ever present release schedule and it's become a ritual for me :) Here's to another year, and I hope, I oh so hope I'm here to repeat this next time, and that you are too 🫡😊

Ava

happy fucking new year, unsounded readership 💙

Nikaleles

...........but also AAAUUUUUUGGGHHHHHHGGHFHFTHHHH

CD

Yep. A lot of pages passed between us seeing her being strangled, and Duane finally hauling his bones up there.

Ashley

First of all, how dare you T.T

Rainwalker

Keep the faith <3

Ashley

It's the tiniest callback to chapter 9, when she and Duane talked on the rooftop and Sette was indeed trying to pick that heart-shaped lock. Here, the lock's finally open.

Ashley

Naw, never mad. Just another classic Unsounded moment coming for my life with, like, daggers and 15 batteries stuffed in an old stocking. You and your perfect, pointed flashbacks! TAT The victories only sing so sweetly because this stuff happens too. Anyway. The Incoming Adventure of Ghost Man and Ghost Girl, or "you don't know what you got til it's gone" played on eternal repeat? 🤔 Excited to find out!

CD

It's true.

Ashley

Well Duane you basically said you were almost disappointed Mikala didn't die so now we got you a new little dead girl for the holidays. Enjoy!!!

Gally

The only thing strong enough to kill Sette was another Sette. Truly no other force marshaled against her could hold

Jag143

The detail of her picking and unlocking a heart shaped lock there… Wow, i don’t cry about -anything- but these pages got me. So tragic.

Erin Matthias

I vaguely recall on the Q&A blog it being said the conclusion of this story would probably be bittersweet but hopefully satisfying just the same. I'm ever eager to see where the story goes, even now.

Ladile

also the only way to justify being mad is if it were a poorly written surprise, and this was not any kind of surprise :(

codeGnave

I keep trying to think of ways that Sette may not actually be dead, but she sure does look pretty dead Q~Q I guess her ghost will still be around? But is she never to leave the Khert again? We’ve been following Sette for so long, I dont know what to do with her dead!

Rainwalker

she would be now be stuck in the khert like the other settes yea? though if the soul is what let her command ghosts this does not bode well for our pal duane

codeGnave

T_____T

Erin Matthias

I'm mad. Not at you Ashley. Just at the inevitable turn of events. Fuck... What a way to end the year. But Ashley. Why

Rifter

WHAT THE SAD NOOOOOOO

metrocube

That's real sad Glass! I wonder if First Sette is lurking nearby to get that body. Happy new year!

Capsandnumbers

Well… excited to meet our girl as a ghost….! Oohh I had a Feeling this was comin

Madison

H-happy new year.... ಥ⁠_⁠ಥ

grim

It's never alright to die. That said, maybe she'll finally find her best world.

The Clag

Beautiful devastation. On the page and in my heart.
