[1164] It's written to you

You were counting down the seconds just to find out who the letter was to as well, weren't you, Max?

This definitely makes the "It's a letter from a robot" theory seem more plausible.

3 pages? I wonder if its codey-stuffs from the Seraphs and the heart was just included for goodwill.

Also, treatise and special stuff! Yay!

Oh yeah, Kat just moved into Annie's room didn't she? So that makes a bit more sense.

I don't know if it would be from robot, he (he? she? it?) has already said he loves his friend shadow, he worships Kat, but sending a love letter? Doesn't seem to make sense.

It could be a another robot, indeed any that Kat has met so far, but I'm going to assume it is unsigned, and the next chapter is about figuring out who it is from. Personally I'm going to say a possibly sexually confused Paz, as that seems to have been hinted at several times so far.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

The wait! The intolerable wait!

Oh well. Only a bonus page, a treatise, and some special stuff away from maybe knowing what happens.
I have a small hope for guest comics. There's been too long since the last (and only) batch.

Now I'll crawl back to my cave... do some work and refutations.

The continuous form paper and the heart's shape on the outside gives me the idea that the letter might be from a robot.

Nah. I don't think it has to be someone who knew about the move. Just someone who knew that kat and annie were friends, so like everyone.

The reason I think so is because annie says that it was addressed to 'her room' and Lindsey called her for it so I get the feeling Lindsey distributes all the student mail. And normally it would be fine as long as the letter gets to kat eventually.

Admittedly it said somewhere that Kat hangs out in Annie's room most of the time anyway.
So if someone knew that, they could hypothetically address a letter to Annie's room so it reaches Kat faster.
They still would have to know both of them pretty well and I still think it's more plausible that they knew about the move.

Antimony says the envelope was addressed to her ROOM. Not to her.

Assuming for the moment that the room-sharing arrangement is not yet well-known... some bashful youngster might mail a letter for Kat to Annie's room simply to conceal from random other students exactly whom the letter was really for. Their friendship is well-known enough for this hypothetical student to reasonably expect the final step of proper delivery to be attended to promptly and discreetly.

On the other hand, Katrina presumably was going back and forth between the two rooms with loads of stuff, and did not engage a cloaking device for the process (and considering where their rooms are, borrowing her dad's portable door strikes me as an obviously bad idea), so probably a fair number of students in their class know about the change.

And... it's a chapter end, so we may well end up adding "Who sent Kat the love letter?" to the list of unanswered questions.

So, who here is old enough to actually recognise that this letter was printed on a needle printer on that ridiculous green/white endless paper?

I highly doubt it's really a love letter, because if so whoever sent it would at least have taken the time to remove the perforated strips from the sides.

My guess is on robots, too. Some sort of technical information.

A CHAPTER ENDING PAGE ON FRIDAY? WHAT A TWIST!

Oh yeah, letter is for Kat.

If that's the case, then the envelope too would be Lindsey's. Then it might not be a love letter at all.

It could be anything. Like a dentist appointment.

Perhaps the heart is a reference to the heart of the golems.

I find it kind of hilarious how this chapter has jumped from a dramatic event to another almost without break, but when the dramatic cliffhanger comes up, it's about a simple love letter. Even more funny, when it's a cliffhanger for an entire book. Just who could it be to justify this degree of dramatic setup?

Anyway, we have a beautiful end panel, here, and I can't wait for the treatise and the "special stuff". Could it be the side comic, already?

This is the first time in a long time that a chapter has ended on a Friday. It seems like most of the time chapters end on Monday, we have a bonus page on Wednesday, and then the next chapter's title page is on Friday so we have to wait an entire weekend for the first page of the new chapter. But Tom did say at one point that he doesn't consciously decide when a chapter will end, and this is also the end of Book 4.
