Hmmm, am I reading too much into this, or is the cell symbol suggesting this shrine is somehow the "source of their power" or something similar?

Actually I think that's the "ground" symbol. And I think it's the place where they get to see Jeanne.

Just checked, yep it's the symbol for electrical ground. Interesting choice.

In electronics, the reference point for voltages is ground. Usually all current returns to ground. So in a basic circuit (using conventional flow) the power could emanate from a battery, flow through the components, and at various points, return to ground (often the other terminal of the battery).

Interesting symbol use there.

Huh. I hadn't even noticed you'd changed it.

I've changed it twice, in fact. But the differences are not obvious.

So- why is the large robot's chassis left there on the floor and not cleared away? It probably could be disassembled. Maybe it's better intact, so it can be studied.

Knowing the robots, I wouldn't be surprised if it was left there because they were afraid to touch it.

How did I not notice that? I'm taking Electro-Mechanical Engineering this year.

Electric lights instead of flowers. Cool. Also, matching eye colors.

I didn't write any of that.

I think the robot has seen Jeanne before, or something like that. Or he's having a religious experience and his head'll explode shortly.

Annie can no longer live a lie and must tell Kat how she feels?

Or do I just have the yuri goggles on?

Today, on Non-Sequitur Theatre...

Anyway, considering that hiding your love for someone is such a foreign concept to Annie that she has to ask Kat about it, I doubt that it's her love life that inspired this line of questioning.

I didn't write any of that.

I'd think more of andrew and parley than Annie and anyone else.

Of course, there are also Winsbury and Janet who deny their love, but not to each other or themselves: only to everyone else.

Well, it depends. Andrew and Parley are denying their feelings for each other to themselves; Janet and Winsbury are denying it to everyone else.

But I don't think either would cause this...suddenness in Annie. Maybe she just stumbled on some new info about one of the couples involved in the Myth Arc.

I just realized. Reynardine possessed a guy, right? And we never found what happened to it, right? What if...

What if that body... Er... did it with Surma?

Which would make Reynardine Annie's dad. That'd be awkward.

Or has this already been jossed?

Hydrall: It's still possible, given how little we know about Anthony Carver, that he might not be her father—but if that's the case than either no one knows (somehow), or lots of people have been lying. I don't think Surma would sleep with Reynardine, but if Reynardine didn't give himself away when he was in that one guy's body, and if that one guy was someone she would have slept with...

Oh wait, I guess this means that Reynardine can't be her father. Sorry dude.
