@Druplesnubb Not out of nowhere. There was implications Leuvis was still alive.

His body disappeared at the end of Goldy Pond.

The lampshade was nice of Leuvis just going "I'm surprised by this as you are!"

I've got the increasing feeling that the ending is gonna be depressing…

Peter Ratri: My father shook his head and told me not to ask/My mother said he died of shame/But I believe he did a proud and vital task/And in my father's name

[up]I don't get see it getting worse than bittersweet. I mean, Peter and his whole cynical ideology just lost. The Moms turned against him because a system based on fear and self-interest falls apart when a better option presents itself, and Leuvis singlehandedly demolished the justification for the farm system out of - it's implied - respect for the humans that wrecked him. Emma's belief in empathy and idealism and cross-species relationships was borne out once again. If humans can be as bad as demons, that also means that demons can be as good as humans.

He's implied to have some kind of past with Mujika actually, we saw a flashback of his brother and her and it even focuses on her turning away I recall.

I'm not saying it's the only factor, I'm just saying that while he's talking about his motivations for revealing the truth there's a flashback shot of Goldy Pond and the people who fought him there and I don't know a lot of ways to read that.

Latest chapter is out

Do you think Peter Ratri is really Driven to Suicide? Or is it a trick and next chapter will show him trying to attack Emma and then getting shot by Ray, Norman or Isabelle?

Hmmm… I sighed a bit when it seemed like we were heading toward yet another "Queen was bad? Get a new queen!" conclusion. Buuut at least there's some acknowledgement that citizens can't just blindly entrust everything to the rulers. It's more than we usually get.

So far so good for everyone… but we still don't know what Emma's side of the deal was.

They need to properly advance as a civilization and set in motion a better economic system for them all. Most tech isnshown only to be used for farms afterall.

That said, most of the farm tech still works, which means it can be repurposed.

The last few loose ends, then, are if they can learn from Adam how to save the other Lambda kids, if Emma lied to Ray when she said her side of the deal was no problem, and what the hell are we going to do about those mass-produced children, especially the ones over three who are starting to lose brain cell connection.

[up] Indeed. evil grin Redemption Equals Death, always…

A bit cliché as a post-climax development, but I guess not all demons running the farms were gonna comply quietly.

[up] Well that's just realistic.

You can't just topple a long-standing power structure & expect everyone to go compliantly. There will always be people against it especially if its a forcible change.

Also that death is funny. [lol]

chapter is out. Really now scribbles? Should I trust you? [lol]

My guess is that Scribbles and Emma switched places/bodies. She had to lie otherwise her family wouldn't accept the new "Emma," but now Scribbles gets the new home and love that Emma's been working for, while Emma is now trapped and alone with the knowledge that her loved ones are safe and happy.

My guess is Scribbles knows that Emma won't be able to stay with her family in the human world. Even though they've been functioning as adults ever since the escape arc, Emma, Ray and Norman are only 13-14. They aren't old enough to live on their own, let alone have custody of the younger children. This is besides the fact that they're bound to have problems from Undead Tax Exemption.

Uhm… remember that chapter four billions years ago where Andrew (the Ratris' assassin) came to Grace Field to have a private talk with Phil? We still don't know what he said to him back then, do we…?

There’s clearly a caveat either [INAUDIBLE] or Ema is hiding. Probably the latter. I really like this body swap idea you mentioned.

alekos23 Since: Mar, 2013

another funny theory I heard is that scribbles took the rest of humaniy to the demon world in exchange.

So how big are the chances that there really is no catch?

I'd say 50/50, but come on, that'd be anticlimactic as hell… the fact the characters in-universe insistently point out how it's a tad too good to be true seems to hint at some sort of twist. Hopefully.
