That really drives the point home, doesn't it.

Honestly, this was more of a visceral shock to me than anything in the chapter itself.

The thing that's really awful about this, aside from the symbolism, is that it's not clear if it's just symbolism or Tom's hinting that Annie's been cut off from her etheric abilities.

Well, it does have the odd shading and extra length it only ever has in the ether...

Or perhaps her etheric abilities have found themselves cut off from her.

Full fire elemental Annie, anyone?

"Sometimes hair is just hair" would hold a lot more weight if the comic hadn't already used hair as symbolism a bunch of times.

But I'm holding off on assigning meaning to that "halo", until we get more data.

[up][up] Indeed; right now it's just a bunch of symbolism and speculation.

wild mass guessi think the last image is symbolic of how antimony has had everything cut away from her if you think about it the entire chapter was about Anthony pulling away everything from her from standing to relationships wild mass guess just a guess

i have no idea why i did this

@Eagal: Well, Gunnerkrigg Court is no stranger to symbolism, and I don't think it takes a Ph.D. to realize that that's what's going on here.

Yeah, I mean, this couldn't be more symbolic if the main character from Da Vinci Code was in the corner screaming 'SYMBOLSSSSS'

We over-analyse things, yes, but this is as direct as it gets.

I'm gonna ask if anyone here missed the cracks in the floor just like the cracks in wall that appeared when Anthony first called her.
