Duane referencing this tearful suggestion from his brother.

Duane's memories of Mikaila are never bloody and cruel like this. She's always the perfect and whole little girl he remembers from his final days. The fact she's showing up like this now is a sign all is not well in-between her father's green ears. And I think it's fairly clear what his imagination is trying to get him to acknowledge.

It is indeed clear. Mikaila was the evil mastermind all along.

Well, I've always thought Lem was suspiciously well-informed in the weeks following his brother's death. And it's pretty much been stated that he was the one who wounded Bastion at the scene of the cold, bloody crime. So hopefully Duane's going to start asking himself what role little brother played in all this --maybe search that upgraded memory for some clues. The problem is that Duane has always been so convinced that he is impossible, that he's never wondered if other people could be responsible for his state. The source of his misery MUST be spiritual (and probably his own fault), and that thinking is a huge obstacle on his path to the truth.

The artwork in these last few pages is utterly beautiful,and full of intriguing mysteries. 😍

Last one (sorry for the rambling): the figure in front of Mikaila in her first panel reminds me of a vliegeng, but also of an injured male torso, and even also an ephaby. Mind you, khert scenery gazing is a lot like finding figures in clouds; anything might be found there if you look long enough...

Ah, are we finally getting near to seeing what we’ve suspected (and dreaded) for years now?

It struck me one day that nearly everything we know about the Adelier family is through Duane's memory, and so it is stained in the colour of his particular viewpoint. So we as readers are prone to imagine Lem as a nice guy, but we've never actually seen the real Lemuel yet.

One thing I don't get (maybe I need to reread another time): Is Lemuel alive right now? My vague memory is that Duane attacked him in his first days as a Galit, but I don't know how that went.
