So the question remains, how did the robots know about the bird if it only appeared those few times before being destroyed?
Goddammit where is that dropped shoe?

Double hug!
Well, that went all surprisingly right. I know this chapter has been critized as an anti-climax, and I understand that, but it still feels right for me. Also, I generally don't like time travel in stories, so I am relieved most of it seems wrapped up in one chapter.
But we still have the bonus page and I suspect like how we didn't know there was a deeper layer to Annie's fall in the canyon that there is probably something deeper in what Kat has done that we will learn later. Or perhaps not. Hard to be sure where this comic will go as ever.

That's a pretty strange statement. I'm sure a lot of people (most?) would be willing to mess with time to save a loved one. The difference is that Kat was also given the means.
"Congratulations. You have a friend who won't refuse to save your life when given the opportunity" doesn't sound as nice I'll admit.
Brinnie... what's happening to your face?

Still neat to know you are loved in that way, even if that is common. Brinnie... what's happening to your face? Shifting in the talking-to-Anja-mode. |

Tom's comment makes me wonder... Is it just a reference for the end of the chapter, or was the transmission (A.K.A. the connection with the Tic-Toc) still going on for a few seconds after it had the "interruption" (see Tom's comment on the previous page)? And in this case, was this connection used in some unexpected way that we'll only discover in 70 chapters? *cue dramatic sound effect*

I think we all wanted this to be a climax chapter, but instead it was a set up chapter. Nothing wrong with that; I for one feel even more dread for what's to come after this chapter.

Tom making answers that create more questions, stabs right into my curiosity. I'm guessing, that the bonus page will just hone the questions to a sharp point, rather than reveal too much.
Or the hug session could be interrupted by a Coyote time-cast, then end scene. Friday will hopefully be titillating.

If I understand Tom's comment correctly, the current chapter is a final one of a book, meaning a treatise instead. Which, come to think of it, will leave us even more curious that usual...  |

So: is it time for the next treatise and the result of the Most Popular Character poll?
I assume Mr. Siddell asked about the latter to have something to publish, like the previous Questions for the Characters.

NGL, I wasnt a huge fan of the second half of this chapter. There were barely any revelations beyond who killed/flicked the tictoc. I just think this chapter had massive potential to turn a lot of things upside down and barely did anything with it. It just went by the numbers I feel. Oh well, a minor concern over a great arc in general.

"Congratulations. You have a friend who in several other stories would be a supervillain where the moral would be that you should just let someone go and live with the memories rather than risk history/reality/humanity/etc. in order to keep them around." But we still have the bonus page "Our partners the etheric jerks will exact payment on your way out. Try not to struggle." Also, I like how the sapling in the last panel is like, "I'm a character too!" |

Except that Kat wasn't living in a world where Annie died, but where she lived because the Tic-Toc came to her rescue, meaning that Kat's actions were part of history. |

This chapter ended very anti climatically. I feel like time travel and saving Annie in the past felt too easy?
But I think we're going to eventually see what the first Kat went through. Because the first Kat was the one who was so sad she had to break time. I feel like that would be an amazing story to see unfold. It would also explain how Kat is like a deity in the ether.

Looking at the chapter as a whole
The original Kat who had to find a way to time travel to save Annie must have went on a mission ala Tony but successfully done it in the end unlike him. She would have had to do it that way because she wouldn't have helped her parents bond closer finding the Warehouse. Anja probably wouldn't have been put in the wrong house and met Brinnie. So Kat would have needed to find a different mythology version of the Norns as well. I kinda want a AU version of the story now and see if at any point that Kat would have interacted with Zimmy in her search

also Kat's powers is only limited to the idea she keeps thinking things are impossible
when Coyote is near unlimited b/c he knows anything he thinks of is possible

Some people think this chapter was anti-climactic, I respectfully disagree. Yes, it seemed to slow down a lot those last few pages, but that was mostly because we are only seeing one page every couple of days. I just re-read the chapter and it moves along at a pretty good clip. Talking to Anja, the reveal, meeting Brinnie and the assumption that James is the father, meeting the Norns (which was Amazing I must say! Urd as older Kat is a stunning beauty, I love her calm confidence!).
The ending pages of the chapter do actually hint at a few interesting things, such as why did the Tic Toc always seem to hone in on Zimmy-Zims? Coyote having a hand (paw?) in all of this by killing the Tic Toc. And as others have said, why do the robots think it is older than the court itself? That is unresolved.
I adore how Tom has brought us back to events in Chapter one and ties so many things together. This is Kat climbing another rung or two up the ladder towards her ascension to godhood, or whatever-hood.
I do hope we get to see the Norns again and find out when/why Kat had to visit them repeatedly.

This page made me cry a little.
"You have a friend willing to move time itself just for you." Then all the hugging.
That's not quite the same thing as "You have a friend who wouldn't let you die if they had the ability to save you." It's more like "You have a friend who would go to unheard-of extraordinary lengths that they don't even think are possible, just in case not doing so might mean you would die."
This is a good place to end the chapter. It leaves Kat, Annie(s), Anja, and Brinnie with the Norns, so other events could happen while they're still there, or on their way back. It also allows for the possibility of "Meanwhile" events that take place elsewhere/when as the events of this chapter unfold -- did the time that elapsed for our characters in the Norns' world take the same amount of time in the outside world? Or did it take a year? Or no time at all? Will they return to find events drastically changed somehow, causing them to need to bother the Norns again? I guess we'll have to see ...
This does resolve the primary issue that has been bothering Kat, which is that her Tic-Toc had to save Annie's life back in year 7. One would expect that it would put Kat more at ease, so perhaps there'll be less of a strain on her relationship with Paz. But Kat's still concerned about how neither Annie is apparently native to this timeline. This chapter and the previous one haven't addressed that at all. It could be that these time shenanigans have changed that, but if they have, Kat hasn't learned that, as far as we know. What if Forest Annie now appears to be native to this timeline, to those who can tell? What if Court Annie does? If neither Annie still appears native, nothing's changed, of course. What if they're both native now (if that's even possible)?
And there's still the matter of why the robots think the Tic-Toc has been around since before the Court existed. It's not necessarily the case that it has been, but why do they think so?
