Yeah, I interpreted the message on the window as "If you want to die, I would be glad to kill you."

Anemone brings the exposition today.

Based on her reaction, I think that "dark magical girls" are not going to turn out to be a thing.

Anemone is saying, as literally as she can, "readers, please be aware that Cassidy is loving dead." There's no game here.

Sleepless Domain: It is now 10 PM. Cassidy is 100% dead.

You can't talk about Kiwi Blitz in this thread unless you change the name to Cagleverse Thread 2020: Cassidy is loving dead.

Or people who didn't get enough magical girl coverage or weren't able to properly evacuate their house.

In fairness, Undine keeping secrets has already led directly to the death of one club member, and more may yet follow!

Aww yeah, take that Goops.

Looking forward to Goops being called Goops, and getting all huffy because that's not her name.

Look, if you let multiple chances to introduce yourself pass, your name is whatever people agree to call you.

Goops comes to kill Vedika, who reads the goop girl's mind and makes fun of her until she runs away.

Well, "retiring" in this case presumably means you become an adult and your powers stop working, which I imagine is something you can vaguely expect to happen around 18 but probably don't get a lot of specific advance warning about, so.

Yeah, I'm hoping Contessa can, in fact, turn back and go on living her normal life, because frankly that's way more interesting than her having to live on a roof somewhere.

The idea that Goops is "controlling" Tessa seems a little weird. Tessa entered into this arrangement on an entirely consensual basis, and it seems likely that Goops' goal is something that Tessa would regard as good (fix this weird nightmare city on a permanent basis), even though their solution will probably turn out to be wrong on the grounds that Goops is a) a dumb baby, b) a malevolent baby, and c) a baby.

Generally speaking the only thing that Tessa seems to have hesitated at was murdering a sleeping Anemone in cold blood, which resulted in Contessa showing more of Goops' features as she went in from the kill. You can read this as Goops assuming direct control, or as Goops rising to prodominance in their fusion as Tessa wavered. I tend to think it's the latter, because aside from that there's not much sign that the two of them are in conflict.

Goops has no reason to save Kokoro; Goops has no reason to hang around in Tessa's house (aside from boredom, I guess). In general, Contessa mostly acts like Tessa flavored with a bit of Goop rather than Goops puppeting Tessa around (which Goops would honestly be bad at doing because she is, explicitly, kind of dumb).

Look, once you work up the nerve for your big coming-out announcement it's too late to back down no matter what the man on the news did this time.

Because that's literally what's happening and a lot of the story elements are about how their society is designed to make that as palatable as possible?

I feel like somebody, somewhere, is presumably freaking out about the whole "early barrier shutdown" thing, which makes it unlikely that anybody with information on the topic will just be overlooked. We haven't actually seen much of upper management so far, but sure the work of coordinating the defense of literally all remaining humans as far as we know isn't just handled by agents and the media?

I kind of wonder how useful radio technology would even be if you're permanently confined to a single city. There are still some things it would be good for, but if you can potentially have wired connections to literally every location you could ever go to, it might not be worth maintaining the technology.

(Actively coordinating magical girls by radio seems like it would result in a much more military-style operation which seems to be either impossible or undesirable... possibly just because having that would be out-of-theme.)

This kind of makes me wonder whether there's some kind of professional standard regarding "don't ship your underage clients with each other". That actually seems like a logical rule to have!
