Actually, I don't think we've seen any spirit-spirit interactions have we?

When this chapter started, I was not expecting some bizarre buddy cop film between a lightbulb and a brain to occur.

I'm confused. I thought on the last page Hijack bailed in spirit trance from Spender. I didn't realize that was him and Spender fleeing.

That was my first thought too, though that happened outside of the barrier if I recall correctly, so I'm not sure; one of Zarei's "kids" being out there on its own seems odd. We'll see, I suppose.

Zarei used to control the ghost train, so she could have left spirits on both sides of the border.

Yeah, I thought of that, but leaving them unsupervised outside of Mayview still feels a bit weird to me. She could figure that that one can take care of herself, though.

"I take no pleasure in teaching this listen." Zack, please fix your text, it took me like ten reread to understand it was supposed to be "lesson".

Oh yeah, it's time for spirits to debate ethics, something the hovertext is even joking about.

that last bubble doesn't show a connection to Hijack. Is Spender getting on the debate action too?

I believe that is the intent, yes.



Debating ethics is, in fact, extremely important and a majority of stories would be infinitely more satisfying if the characters did just that.

You know, I remember when there used to be three egregious typos on every page, and this is the first one I've seen/noticed in a long time. Zack's come a long way.

I honestly can't parse that one. I was able to figure out listen=lesson but this other one just sounds like nonsense to me. Can't figure out what he meant.

Three stars it's about being impressionable when your value system is based on others' beliefs instead of developing and sticking by your own.

The comic has been fairly consistent about weird looking things talking about ethics.
