That’s…actually better than what I thought he’d say

Nikaleles

for so many reasons, ah ow my heart

Shit. Nah this is worse than I was afraid of- Like gd whats worse than someone tellin ya they're just actually a bad person? Telling you that BUT ALSO they sincerely love you.

When getting to know your partner to much goes really wrong. Sette just got monkey pawed really hard just now. Amulet is backfiring baaaad. I'm going to guess that the amulet works on him in the Khert. I can't see Duane saying all that's crazy shit right now to Sette without some influence from it. Also panel 3 into 4 transition is cool as fuck. Creepy but cool.

Basically everything since at least chapter 15 has been in the span of a day, and this is pretty much the first time Duane's gotten to "sleep" on these revelations. This unpacking being an ugly wreck should probably not be a surprise. Sadly his audience for this is a scared kid :(

HM INDEED. POOR SETTE. I hope she doesn't use her glinter to try and force him away from this truth, though...

Old Coal Soul

Poor Sette. Poor Duane. It's all so twisted

Well, these are basically the same thoughts (just in a more coherent form) that Duane expressed before burning the queen in effigy back at the shrine, so not much progress there, I'm afraid. Also, nice throwback to Prakhuta's words - Duane also pretends he can make up for Chea's death by being saaaaad about it afterwards...

:(

Well... At least he said he loves her, and not as 'new Mikaila' . That's... something.

Too tired to say this right but Duane, damn you, but I feel you.

SET

Duane is done

Duane's such a patriot, he made the queen his personal Roger Foi-Hellick

So interesting to me that he's never Just-a-Da Duane to Sette through all this. Oof oof oof. The absolute gutfeel of loving someone, and being loved back, but also the baggage of beliefs is bad, man. It's bad.

Should I be concerned that I find Duane perfectly sane here?

Noxae

What a page, wow. Love Duane's rotten face next to his rotten words. Sette needs a hug...

Madison

Man sounds like my dad

JarJar

He said the words-- this should be heartwarming?? WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME??? I've been waiting the whole damn comic for this admission and you've put it next to some of the worst things he's said so far?? I what-- WHY

I really like when the ugly side of self-sacrifice is explored in fiction. You get this from the True Believers who aren't in the cause just to make themselves look good, and boy does Duane qualify. Makes him easy to love in some situations AND THEN THERE'S THIS

Capsandnumbers

This is a really cool page. Duane is just describing "Mean makes mean" and saying it's good actually. Great job!

Stillpoint

Damn if Duane and Sette don't get to me as they tear into each others truths. He's an undead zombie man and she's a questionably immortal lionesque human child and at a glance they're profoundly incompatible in every possible way, but he loves her to an extent I think shocks him and she needs him so desperately there's not really language for it. It's so stupidly brokenly *human* of them.

Ladile

I'm reminded of Lemuel at the end of the Chapter 16 flashback. Lemuel then and Sette now holding out hope that Duane really is The Person They Need Him to Be, only to be terribly disappointed to learn that he isn't. Hopefully Sette will come through the other side of this revelation in a better state than Lemuel did.

I don't really have much sympathy for the Queen here because hey, you signed up for this. You don't get to complain when you feel bad after seeing the sausage get made in person. How many other schemes that grind people up have the Queen and Alderode done that have their own stories we didn't see? It's just that as always, innocent and good people are in the way and Duane has his own perspective on the trolley problem that HE sees.
