For what it's worth I recognized it was sarcasm and got a sensible chuckle out of it.

Due to the lack of vocal tone text based communication is about a 50-50 shot that someone gets your meaning as intended.

That's just the image on Shell's new dress, which we will become familiar with at the beginning of the chapter when she begins her next speech.

I think there has to be something to her unrealness. Hopefully she's meant to stand out for some reason that will become apparent later.

I see the thread has moved from "anger" onto "bargaining"

I kinda doubt there's anything to her appearance or behavior aside from Tom thinking it's fun to draw silly expressions (which is true, it is fun) and making a character who's very emotional and expressive in personality to create ample cause for those cartoonish expressions. Like it just seems like a character quirk.

I don't mind her too much, just the sudden unusual amount of focus on her in the story. But it does feel a bit Homestuck syndrome where old characters are shuffled out for shiny new ones to take their place despite filling the same character niches but worse, all because the old ones were dumpstered for shock value or general author disinterest.

(Yes I know she's not "new" but she effectively is considering how dramatically she changed from her first appearances.)

I assume this is the chat we saw Coyote have with Loup that led to Loup going nuclear.

Also WOW the chapter reads much more upsettingly when we know it's Loup mooning over Annie.

I don't read it as Loup actually mooning over Annie, but rather manipulating the situation to get closer to her.

one of the first things we learned about Loup is that he has it bad for Annie, mostly due to Ysengrin’s influence, but it’s warped by his general Loupiness. that blush is for real

She was at that moment flashing some cleavage from her exactingly curated body. Some reaction would have been appropriate. He's all in on Carver.

It is both hilarious and sad that Loup, despite all that gloating about being stronger, is still unquestioningly obeying what Coyote tells him to do.

Loup calling all the robots dead creatures will probably have some really interesting implications later.

What if this transfer functions as an afterlife of sorts for them?

Honestly, so far this flashback hasn't given any new information which wasn't implied already. I imagine there will be one more where he meets that girl (Lena?) and we're caught up. Unless something wild happens, this is sort of superfluous.

I'm going to guess this chapter will shed more light on the Robo Cult of Kat. Loup would be in the perfect position to eavesdrop on them.

I hope we finally get an origin story on where all those track suits came from. Do you think they have to hunt wild Slavs for meat and hides?

Oi blyat, why are you wanting to hunt Slav, debil? Adidas suit is sourced ethically from Vadim's Gopnik Farm. Yes, Vadim is urod, but his gopniks are happy, semichki-fed gopniks!

Loup kills Kat, Annie kills Loup, robots ascend Kats deified corpse to godhood from their shared belief with help from Annie the Guide preventing anyone from taking Kat to the Aether.

Kat gets the Emperor of Mankind 40k treatment.
