Maybe the Forsaken Master is actually nice? Maybe friendship is the answer?

Or maybe they should all just run away now as fast as they can.

Peridot just opened up to Nightmare Knight about how she sees Cordelia as a surrogate mum though. Would be a real (and out of character) dick move on his part if he immediately sent Cordelia off after some forbidden power that he knows is going to destroy her.

Also just quoting this from before this update. :allears:

Too late. It is already behind the heroes and eating the page. Like a true RPG boss, there is no 'flee' from this fight.

Just you wait. It'll turn out that all the Forsaken master wants is to be friends with everyone.

Then it'll turn out that the Forsaken Master is Boxbot.

and then everything will be terrible forever.

It's especially dickish because he knows Cordelia sees Peridot as a daughter too. It's not just Cordelia manipulating Peridot's emotions they both genienely care for each other.

Maybe this is his twisted way of trying to force them to betray him and become heroes? Maybe he thinks they're too nice to be defeated along with him and wants to give them a way out.

^^^ This is my guess, especially considering NK specifically told them to wait until after the heroes showed up to open the book. I'm guessing he's pretty confident that they'll be able to take out the Forsaken Master, but only through ~*~The Power of Friendship~*~
Anything else just seems pretty far outside NK's characterization so far...

Eh, I still think it's gonna be something like what smug n stuff said. The whole point of KN interactions with Parfait and Peridot (who btw is like right there and would probably suffer the same fate as Cordelia if this is genuine) was to show he's not truly evil, he doesn't want to bring darkness to the world, and he's kept this whole charade going because he cares deeply for his underlings, even one as useless as Splashmaster.

I'll be very surprised if after that his next action is a surprise betrayal that amounts to 'if you're not strong then you are of no use to me so LOL GET REKT'.

Oh my god it's the utenavator. I love this comic even more now.

Also... some thing seems kind of weird about cuco here. I think it's because he doesn't seem surprised about anything? I wonder if he's real, or if this is a rose's room kind of deal.

Wife made a good observation. In the comic where she states that 'this isn't like me', the gutter for the comic cuts over her face to punctuate the loss of identity.

Also, the lighting here is freaking great.
