** The "House of Apples" chapter, an alarmingly dark installment in the series--the kids stumble upon an apple orchard owned by a husband and wife named Tim and Emma, whose son, Sept, apparently ran off to join the circus. For a while all seems well, but it becomes increasingly clear that Emma sees Cooro as a substitute for Sept, and appears keen on keeping him around. Since Cooro likes it there and has never had a mother before, Nana and Husky end up wondering if Cooro would be happier there and ultimately opt to leave without him. But Cooro follows them, crying that they left him behind. He then goes back briefly (with his wings showing) to return Sept's bandana. Because of his wings, Emma believes Cooro was a black angel and so does Tim, who drops this bombshell to show the readers what's really going on...
