what if "Je" is a verbal tick deigo has and Jeanne is actually just Anne but his robots always thought the "Je" was part of her name.

I like the sketchier art style Tom is using here for the old footage. I guess (hope?) we'll be seeing Jeanne in 'motion' pretty soon.
Also, no comment from Tom today, so I reckon things will be getting serious now.

I don't know why it never occurred to me that Diego might be spanish! I guess this explains the mini-matador outfit the little bot is sporting.
Also, giving a lady a tiny, semi-sentient camera as a gift? Not creepy at all...

I think "je" is Spanish onomatopoeia for laughter. Paz says it too: "¡Je je! Un globo." Seeing Diego and possibly Jeanne while they were still alive is going to be interesting. |

A mini video-recorder with relatively superb playback quality. Oh mai.

This is so exciting! I like the recorded style as well. The fact that we may potentially be getting some answers makes me super happy.
"Je Je" is the same as "Ha Ha."

Yes! Looking forward to some serious exposition here, in the form of robot memories!

Aw, a little present for Jeanne. Presumably Jeanne anyway. What a kind man.
Kind of freaky looking up close though...

ARGH.
Nose attack.
I never even thought of that. I really wonder what her personality was like.

So has anyone else noticed parallels between the Jeanne/Diego tragedy and more recent events? |

Man I am kind of dim sometimes. I didn't realise the camerabot was a gift for Jeanne, I thought Diego was going to film himself building something else for her. The "She'll love you" was him talking to himself.
Him talking to the camerabot makes more sense though I reckon!

Personally, I have a very bad feeling about this.
He is so sure she's going to love it. What if she doesn't? And the underlying idea of giving the woman of your obsession a gift with a video camera in it?
Diego may turn out to not be the forlorn saint we thought he was.
EDIT:
Which would explain what the robots' problem is that they need help solving. If there is a dichotomy between what they've been programmed to feel/believe, and what the actual recording shows...

I don't think it's a video recording in that manner, I think it's more of a... memory. That's how it was referred to on the last page, anyway. This IS a robot, not just a figurine. |

That's possible. Do you think all robots have the ability to project onto walls and display point-of-view movies of their memories? If so, then what you say is certainly possible.

I love the perspective in the last panel. Diego looks a lot more rough and animated than the still images we've seen so far.
Previous posts got me thinking. I'd always assumed Diego was to cowardly to approach Jeanne about his love for her. But what if Rey was right? What if he did approach her and she rejected him? I had assumed Jeanne was a noble figure. What if she's cruel? We really don't know much about either of them, do we?

I gues we all kind of assume without thinking about it that Jeanne must be nice because Diego worshipped her so, but you are right. We don't know a thing about either of them. Maybe Jeanne is horrible and Diego is shallow and only likes her for her looks. Maybe Diego is a big creep who doesn't plan to tell Jeanne about the camera in the figure.
Or maybe they are both lovely but Jeanne just doesn't really like Diego that way and it is all very tragic. I hope it is that, sad as it sounds!

Isn't it great that Tom can show us so much and yet we've still only seen the very periphery of the story. It's like showing someone the stalk from some fruit and saying "did this come from an apple? Perhaps a pear? Maybe even a cherry... I'll tell you in a couple of months". We think we know so much about Diego and Jeanne, but when something like this page crops up we suddenly realise everything we "know" could be wrong. It's story telling at it's best.
Personally, I think this probably isn't going to end well. If the little matador was a gift for Jeanne, what is it doing sitting on Diego's shelf? Surely she would have kept it if things had happened as Diego had hoped.
On the other hand, maybe she did accept it, but after she died (however she died) he took it back as a reminder of her.
I JUST DON'T KNOW

I expect that cambot will lead to a snub and that Diego's admiration for Jeanne will not be significantly affected. This is a little something I like to refer to as "calling it". |

I had assumed Jeanne was a noble figure. What if she's cruel? We really don't know much about either of them, do we? And she *did* make an unprovoked assault upon Annie - though that may not say anything about what she was like alive. Often in stories about the unquiet dead, no matter what they were like alive, they're always creepy and hostile towards the living - maybe the same thing has befallen Jeanne here (especially since she's in some kind of trouble that keeps the Guides from helping her). |

Just for total clarification, 'jeje' is basically exactly the same as 'hehe' in english. In spanish, j makes an english h sound. Deigo's chuckling to himself. I like spanish onomatopoeia : ) |

I don't know why it never occurred to me that Diego might be spanish! Never pondered on this one too, but yeah, come to think of it, Diego isn't exactly Welsh name or something. Also, giving a lady a tiny, semi-sentient camera as a gift? Not creepy at all... What else he could do? He just wanted to send some voice-mail and internet didn't existed yet. You remember how they mow a grass, right? ;D A mini video-recorder with relatively superb playback quality. Oh mai. I'd say if he recorded with the same bot that projects, it's as good as they come with such a needle's eye.  |

That face seems oddly familiar.  In retrospect, the traditional meaning of "troll" seems to fit Diego better than the Internet meaning. |
