Hypocrisy posted:Hey whaddya know, Grandpa cares about Isabel. You sure about that? Giving her a tool in the first place was not a compliment in Grandpa's eyes, and giving her one to replace the one she lost follows along the lines of "you're still not good enough to fight on your own, it seems." I'm curious if Zarei's going to confront Isabel on the next page now that she's out of Francisco's sight or if she'll bring it up later.

This sheds a whole new light on my Grandma's habit of giving me money every time she saw me. "Worthless boy, get a job so I can stop shaming you with these handouts!"

I dunno, I got the impression that she was "supposed" to say no to the offer in his eyes. His "hmph" kinda gave off a dismissive, "you're still weak" vibe.

We're going to get a heart wrenching look at how not all spirits get along with their Spectral, and Isabel is going to learn that what she had with Eightfold was a special bond that she might never have again.

I love how the deception and distrust filter down to every aspect of Spectral life, like just getting treatment for a bite.

If she'd turned it down, she'd have both done what he was hoping she'd do (but expecting she wouldn't), and have gotten an opening to shout him down about what he insinuated about Eightfold. Nah, I think she was just caught off-guard this time because she was expecting to be caught.

How do ghosts perform spectral attacks? Spectrals generate spectral energy so it's no big deal for tools to feed off them or use it to shoot at people or what have you, but ghosts are made of spectral energy and don't regenerate without the help of a spectral or possibly without eating other ghosts/spirits. Surely shooting spec-shots and the like would drain them?

Isabel says as much that Spender's explanation isn't the whole story. It's possible Francisco discovered a third way that isn't exactly orthodox, or they're keeping it a secret.

Does the apparent disrespect for spirits exhibited by Francisco and the Consortium extend to ghosts? You'd think literally being able to interact with the dead would be a big deal, perhaps bigger than anything else the Spectrals do, but the school was just chock full of ghosts and attempts to keep them from getting soul-sucked to oblivion were pretty haphazard.

It was another vial of green healing goo like Zarie was using on the ghost student. Izabel stole one in the page before this one, and was trying to get it into her pocket this page.

She got hurt in the fight against the respawners and is trying to hide it though it beats me why. You can never be too careful with spirit bites so Isabel stole the salve but Dr. Zarei is good at noticing things people are tying to hide

...Did Isabel take the right bottle? Upon closer inspection, it looks like she took a round bottle, while the one the doctor used earlier was squarish. Maybe I'm imagining things.
