What's interesting to me here is that if a dude's primary value to you is that he knows a ridiculous number of secrets that you want, just slicing the poo poo out of him with a blade that makes you bleed memories is literally the dumbest possible thing you could do. Darkest Paul, everyone.

Darkest Paul, everyone. What makes you think those memories are just bleeding out into the ether and not now being received by either whoever is holding the blade or that weird snake dude? That was what snake dude's venom was doing to that one unfortunate Ald guy, and that is what the blade was based on. Checkmate

Checkmate It's strongly implied that the snake guy has to physically drink the leaking memories in order to gain them. So snake guy could theoretically lap up a few stray thoughts from the blade but a lot of what's leaking out is going to just be lost.

We'll probably find out for sure next page or so, but they did outright state earlier that they were going to use the blade to 'cut the memories out of <bishie dude>', so it is meant to somehow transfer memories. Admittedly its not yet certain if that means the blade absorbs them or if they just collect blood and viscera in a bucket or something. I would not put that second one past Cope either.

So, I just realized another facet of the Duane/Mathis father friction dynamic: Mathis realizes he's likely to die before Matty is fully grown.

Not likely, Quigley's guaranteed to die before Matty's grown. That's kind of like, Quigley's entire character motivation? He knows he's only got about 5 years left and is frantic to build enough money for Matty to be okay, which is why he was palling around with the red berry boys. Plats get 30 years and he's 25, but the last years are spent in kind of a rapid-fire version of old age - he's not gonna be as healthy as he is for long. Also we finally have a weapon that represents a real and significant threat to Duane. Only other thing that hosed him up was the silver eel.

Was unsure of the exact ages and what would be considered "fully grown" but sure. It is central to his character, but I never put together how much the idea of competition to be his son's dad could eat at him for that very reason until now.

They're senet beasts, specifically Stormbringers. They're the male counterpart to the Water Women we saw earlier. Specifically, they tend to have crazy sex with them which causes storms. The shield is getting in the way of them doing that, but also they are agitated about something (according to the last couple of comics). We don't know what the thing they're agitated about is yet. They aren't too bright and have virtually no memory retention, which contributes to their current behavior.

Oof, these last few pages. Some of the comments on the site are better at lying to themselves than Sette if they think Nary didn't sell her out.

So I guess that even with Sette being an unreliable narrator, her version of her dad isn't entirely fiction. I assume he still doesn't remotely care about her, but at least he's smart enough to know how to push her buttons.

While the likely answer here is Nary's just a conman who knows his own daughter, I'm starting to wonder if this isn't a Zoldyck situation where he genuinely cares about her, you know, within the context of their entire family being a bunch of professional ne'er-do-wells, but the problem is he has an extremely distorted view on "How" one cares for their loved ones - again, part and parcel of the family business being what it is, Sharteshane being the place it is. Still a bad dad, but more interesting in a narrative sense.

This seems pretty consistently how he's been characterized. She's his presumptive heir in a family that firmly believes in the strong eating the weak. Nary caring about her gets her thrown in these situations with a modicum of survival skills and enough background on what's going on to have a shot at making it instead of locked in a cart with a gutful of magical hatred or whatever; Sette just mistakenly believes this means he'll ever start treating her better than he does now.

If you pay attention to the background flashes we've had of Nary, he's actually pretty interesting. He's smart and ambitious enough to understand he's playing a totally dead-end game by being a criminal overlord in Sharteshane. Everything Sette values becoming, Nary is already sick of being. http://www.casualvillain.com/Unsounded/comic/ch06/ch06_39.html He's definitely not a good guy, but he's probably in to something way deeper than just transporting the silver. There just hasn't been enough additional information to see exactly what's going on with him.

That's an interesting point, and the meaning behind that speech is a lot more significant now that Nary's told Sette his (presumably?) real opinions on Stockyard--Nary just wanted to wash his hands of him, but he twisted around his actual motivation to use it as a teachable moment for Sette.

"Don't none of us die old," is a stupidly good line. I remember reading it for the first time in like 2013 I think and whenever I start thinking about Unsounded it's always one of the first things to bubble up to the surface of my memory.

I kind of like Nary too now though I have a bit of a soft spot for bad people in fiction who display human qualities from time to time. It's still kind of hard for me to read basically anything from Nary as entirely genuine though and I honestly wouldn't have if it weren't for word of god pointing it out as genuine. I guess it makes sense for a dude who lives his life like he does that it'd be hard to believe him even when he's telling the truth.
