So I went back to reread Loup's origin chapters out of curiousity, and stumbled upon something.

When Annie is allowed to speak to the remnants of Ysengrin in that first conversation with Loup, Ysengrin claims he wasn't originally just going to go apeshit on the Court, and that he only did that because he saw what the Court was up to and that it was going to take Annie somewhere "far far away."

And, like, now that obviously refers to the Court's scheme to go to space but I'm just like... They aren't going to take her and never were. I would have assumed this means there is more going on in the past, but now I feel like that's just it. Did Ysengrin just freak out because he didn't realize the Court's plan was actually much less interesting and controversial than he thought it was?

"Go on until you're stopped."
Anthony and Llanwellyn were also under the impression that their children were going to benefit from "the program", so it seems to have been a widespread belief amongst very stupid and gullible dads.

At this point it may also just be possible that Tom changed his mind on the specifics.

Yeah that's another thing I was wondering about, since Anthony seemed really worried about Annie being kicked out of the program. If he just meant school I guess I could see him not wanting her to be expelled, but the gravitas of his reaction makes it seem like it must have been the space program he was thinking about.

Too bad Tony stopped existing just before this revelation came about so we haven't seen a shred of his reaction to the fact that Annie, and everyone else he cares about, are being denied by default. If I was feeling more confident in the direction of the story I'd assume that must mean Tony is doing something in the background related to all of this but I'm not sure.

Honestly like I don't even mind the Loup plot in comparison to this whole Court anticlimax. The Court plot just turned into such a huge nothing burger it still startles me sometimes.

Tony was the person in the memory-repelling suit, but everyone forgot not just who was talking to them at the time, but retroactively about his entire existence.

I just went to check and they really don't mention Tony at all after that flashback scene with the lake person...

If this is actually related I will give Tom an approving nod of recognition. I wouldn't put it past Tony to assume he was doing Annie a favor by disappearing from her memories, either.

All the characters forgot how to act like real people because the adults who raised them and taught them how have been erased from their memories, taking those experiences with them. Tom is actually doing a clever bit about how are memories are what make us ourselves. Also, copium now comes in cherry flavor.

Kat: Who?

I was considering that. But I think the deal was that he wouldn't cross the river. Loup took care of that barrier.

Yeah, he is all-powerful, but he never feels superior. He's down in the muck with us, wallowing around and enjoying the gently caress of out everything.

Technically what he said is that he would see her one last time. He can go blind, or she can be invisible, or he can show up in front of other people all he wants.

Or he could never leave her sight until she dies.



Though if coyote leaves but takes loup and jerrik with him it will be worth it.
