Sure, Annie probably doesn't need her stone anymore, but I'm wondering what Ysengrin meant to do by crushing it? I'm also remembering that it was one of the last things we had to remember Mort by....sigh.... Yeah, he's not a very subtle wolf. Annie may have needed a shock to snap her out of her current state, but it would have been better for the stone to survive. However, it's possible that the physical destruction of the stone was etherically necessary for this to happen (since the elemental seemed to have been formed around it)... So, we spend an entire chapter watching her wander around split in half, and he puts the two back together with literally a snap of his fingers? I thought it would be harder than that. |

I think Ysengrin was using a little shock therapy to try to snap Annie out of her self wallowing and get her moving in a positive direction.
Plus, we can always remember Mort whenever you do this (quadruple guns, aw yeah).
Quadruple guns. Yeah.  |

Looking at panel 2, I wonder if young Bun is able to dampen Annie's fire; somewhat like Gamma does with Zimmy. See what happens when he lets go of her. Yeah, a lot of readers seem to see it that way. I see it now. |

Reminds me a bit of when Annie touched Martin, that time she went with the two psychopomps to help in the hospital. Touching is a very powerful and underappreciated theme in the comic, I think.
Besides that, I often wish for a Smitty in my back pocket when things go a little crazy, to make sure I'll come out of it all right, heh...
