For some reason I'm just now noticing (after two chapters and a bit) that Kat's wearing her hair longer again after the very short 'do that she got in chapter 63. You can even tell that it's grown a tad bit since chapter 69, where it's just barely shoulder length; now it's more comfortably shoulder length, and fuller on the sides. I'm impressed that Tom not only tracks these details but is very, very consistent about drawing them. |

I know Tom uses Annie and Kat's hair as an indication of their personality. I assume Kat's lengthening hair reflects her comfort and confidence in herself. Maybe it also represents her not-etheric self not-etherically integrating with the not-etheric robots. |

That would all the more deify Kat in root[edit: robot!] eyes, as the Angel who raised Arthur "from the dead" into a new life-form. Along the somewhat more secular lines, I was wondering if "a New Contract" would refer to the new formalized relationship Arthur, as a new being, would need to negotiate with the Court. He's not really just a robot to be ordered around - controlled, owned - anymore.... I'm guessing, sooner or later, the Court's response to this will be a big issue. I don't see the Court, just pushing him through the Foley kids' process. They'll either see this as a significant leap forward, or as a serious threat to the Court's centuries old slave labo- robotics division. The Court has both progressive and conservative vibes. Rocking the boat is frowned upon, but tech advancements at any cost are encouraged.
Oh course, the Court may not even find out about this until later, especially with Tony and the Shadowmen assisting in a cover-up. Juliette and Arthur want to leave the Court. I do not expect Arthur to negotiate a new working contract with them. He will just cheerfully walk out the door, past the guards in his new body like " Hello, fellow human. How are you enjoying being human, like me, on this lovely day?" |

Would the Court allow that? Or would it view them as traitors and deserters for trying to leave (especially in the middle of Loup's attack)? (Of course, I suspect Juliette and Arthur would probably try slipping away without a word.) |

Since Arthur says on the same page that robots are not allowed to leave, and what had happened to those who attempted to, I expect the Court would not allow it and might hunt them down. |

If Arthur is indistinguishable from a human and isn't going to draw outside attention to the Court, then I think the Court will monitor them but go no further. Kind of what they did with Anthony when he went on his walkabout. |
