Hmm, is Annie looking to get some exercise maybe? Her line of questioning is heading in a direction that gets you the kind of toned calves that only come with running from an enraged, out of control tree-wolf monster

Yssy-Ys loves me. He truly, deeply does, yes yes!
Is that love any less legitimate because I...encouraged it?

There's no way in hell Annie isn't going to find out, at some point, what Coyote has done to Ysengrin. Wonder when that's going to come about, and how.
I still can't stop thinking about how, once upon a time, Coyote and Ysengrin's relationship was compared to Annie and Tony's. Burr!

"He's wonderful. I'm the problem. He wouldn't pull things out of my psych and eat them, if I didn't act that way... It's really my fault."
Of course, Coyote could have a perfectly good reason, and there may be no other way of helping it, but extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. Tom has pulled more than a few "gray area" fast ones, though.

Well, since Tom just posted the latest commentary, which concerned *that* chapter, and since he's been timing them to be appropriate... |

I dunno, but something about Ysengrin's answers is making me nervous for a repeat of The Great Secret. I hope Annie doesn't push too hard.

Oh, this is exactly going in the direction I was dreading. Annie, I wouldn't delve any deeper if I were you. Just agree with him in the next panel and... OK. who am I kidding? Annie is probably going to make him go berserk again. Good thing she's exercising/warming-up for a possible "run for your life" situation.

Really, Y, really? Strongest ever? Not trembling at all, like a leaf in the wind? Not having difficulties remembering events from the past? Not being brushed aside like a puppet whenever Coyote wants?

Clearly Annie is feeling lonely on board the existential-crisis-express and wants company, given how she keeps trying to induce one in Ysengrin.

Not being brushed aside like a puppet whenever Coyote wants? Well, he gets to control all the trees of the forest now, apparently. That's pretty powerful. Apparently Rey and Ys never had the same kind of power Coyote has, until Coyote gave them some power... which apparently was given imperfectly in both cases. Rey: things die after he takes them over. Ys: always shaking. |

Give Annie some credit. She knows Ysengrin is capable of losing control and killing her. She also knows she barely freed Jeanne with just the loss of some as-of-yet-to-be-explained freedom. I expect we will see her using care and discretion.

Really, Y, really? Strongest ever? Not trembling at all, like a leaf in the wind? Not having difficulties remembering events from the past? Not being brushed aside like a puppet whenever Coyote wants? It's interesting. The body and power that Coyote gave Y seems to drain and weaken him, or while he uses it he doesn't exert any effort with his actual, physical body, and so it atrophies and becomes weak, like the body of someone who's been bedridden after some paralytic accident. This demonstrates to us two things: one, Coyote has given Ysengrin a strength that paradoxically makes him weaker than he would be without it. Two, that Annie is good for Y. She makes him stronger. He was willing to shed the body Coyote gave him and be vulnerable with her, which in turn forced him to use his old body more, making it stronger. It's a really cool metaphor that doesn't just sit on top of the plot like a garnish but is actually well integrated into the motivations of the characters of this world. |

Kids, don't use PEDs. You'll be left shaking and broken when the drugs decide it'd be funnier to take away your terrifying skills of gardening. (They might take your medals too.)

Annie's on a roll. Having rectified the injustice of Jeanne being imprisoned by Diego and the Court, she's segued directly into the injustice of Ysengrin being imprisoned by Coyote. It makes sense, and I look forward to seeing how it will play out (I dunno if it's a good idea)... but it feels odd, because I expected some exploration of her doubts first. She's diving straight into "Why do you let yourself be Coyote's pawn?" like she knows what she's doing. It's as if the previous chapter never happened. |

^^^ (If Annie is Hamilton, who is Aaron Burr?) Give Annie some credit. She knows Ysengrin is capable of losing control and killing her. She also knows she barely freed Jeanne with just the loss of some as-of-yet-to-be-explained freedom. I expect we will see her using care and discretion. In fact, I bet that loss of freedom is exactly what's on Annie's mind right now. She sees Ys as someone who has locked himself in a particular path in life, and she's wondering if that's what will become of her now that she's been Pomp'd. |

That it is as if the previous chapter never happened actually bothers me a bit. I somewhat expect/hope this to transition to us learning what Annie's deal with the Pomp's is, and possibly from there to those problems, legitimate and illegitimate, raised by Red. |
