"Len paesabi" is "forgive me." Mikaila feeling pretty nonplussed. There was never going to be a way to fit in here.

We won't be seeing her again this chapter. Safe travels, Golden Delight. Keep your glamour on, even if your genderbent equivalent tends to look like your dorky dead teenage dad o/

First Church of April

Oooooh, lookit everyone getting ready for a last stand! Think I'll go cry about it.

I wonder if she'll do as Lem asked, and what path she would choose if her family's and country's expectations didn't factor into it. Also, ouch, that poor Crescian woman trying to reassure her kid...

"Cheery task." Yikes. Those previous scenes gained an ugly new perspective from Miki's mix of nationalism and naivete. She's talking Aldish and Lemon is definitely having trouble making that work out with his feelings about everything he's done being thrown back at him recently. I think he hoped she'd be less her father's daughter if he could help her think outside the propaganda. Hopefully Duane can help deprogram her a bit when that reunion occurs. Or she'll try to burn him. Ssaelit custom after all.

Goodbye Miki! See you again in Book 2 where you'll be the main character since Ashley will have killed everyone else!

I like how Lemuel doesn't answer the question. Fitting reaction. We'll probably never know whether he would do it (or, for that matter, whether he did it in the past).

Wow, the mood on this page is incredible. Starting off with horrors in broad daylight, to Mikaila and Lem in the darkness, Mikaila travelling down a dark and lonely path, a path she didn't pick. I love the details of the smoke eels too, quite literally ghosts haunting his every breath. I wonder if this is also the last time Mikaila will see Uncle Lemon.... Alive that is.

I think she does need to pick a path, but I fear the main takeaway will be not to voice her doubts. Not that Lem was the right person to talk to about this anyway, at least he got her out in time I guess. I think the implication is that the burned bodies were the result of a failed uprising, so those guys in the window have a lot of guts to try again. It would be nice if what the Black Tongues were doing helped them out. I worry that ordinary civilians will just get caught in the crossfire.
