Three comments:
1. Hahahaha
2. If Jerrek panics and hurts her, it will violate his agreement with Robot.
3. I wonder if Ysengrin has ever before had a woman declare her love for him? In a non-platonic way, of course. Annie loves him but it's different. I think Red does too but that looks more like hero worship to me.

That's a really interesting point. I always got the war hero vibes from how Ysengrin was precvived in the forest, so it wouldn't shock me if he had the equivalent of fangirls declare love for him, but I also wouldn't be surprised if this was a first. |

But my tragedy-senses are a-tingling, and I'm thinking she's an essentially innocent party who might get crushed twice (for the mortal "sin" of a crush, no less)  |

All I'm going to say is, it's going to be really hilarious if it turns out that my initial guess of her being boxbot is correct. But what if she's not? How much more terrible could you get? |

Ding! Ecchi comedy level of crush trainwreck is reached! :]

Jokes aside, being claustrophobic myself, I can't look at the last panel for long without feeling increasingly uncomfortable and triggered. I would personally understand if Jerrek just shoved her to the side and fled out of this coffin. You should stay well away from Japanese capsule hotels then. |

Maybe I'm the last one to notice this, but Jerrek is SO close to Jerk! Two letters, only, and it could sound that way depending on pronunciation.
Coincidence, I'm sure.  |

Possibly, but he wasn't really all that approachable as a wolf. Pretty sure he was a wolf when he earned his General rank also - people in the court were quite surprised to see him in his tree suit and asked him what the devil he had done to himself. I'm sure he was granted his terrifying powers of gardening AFTER the war.
As an animal, he may have had offers of sex, done pretty blatantly as in the animal kingdom, but I just can't picture him in a romantic situation. Also, he hates humans for the most part, and even with Lana confessing to him it wouldn't surprise me if he didn't quite understand what's going on. Unlike Coyote and Renard he hasn't spent his time watching them and trying to understand them. Thus, my concern about him freaking.
His attempts to get Annie to move to the forest to be with him were... blunt and clumsy, at best. Honestly, it didn't even look like he really liked her - he just wanted to have her. More possession than love.

Oh, I have heard about these things and I definitely will. Brrr. |

I don't actually think this is the case but since we've not actually seen Jerrek's interactions with other robot people you could conceivably theorize that Lana's behavior is altered by him in some capacity - either her robo-brain can't quite figure out how to interact with him properly, or he's using his canine deity powers to, uh, nudge her into behaving in a way he's more comfortable with? I guess? Gross? I've also been thinking it would be a fun little parallel if the robots had some kind of mesh wifi network like Westworld hosts, and if Loup can't access it, so he'd get to deal with everyone besides him being intrinsically aware of some extra layer of reality he's locked out of. Delicious irony. In the same way the faerie kids always have one foot in the ether, but in an "always online" techno way? |

Not sure where to put this. Theories involving Robot are discussed all over the place these days!
Anyway, I was trying to remember if we knew whether Robot knew anything about the ether. The answer is a definite YES.
For example - here he knows not only about the ether but also how to destabilize the warped area the Seraphs created by stressing out Zimmy. All he had been told at that point about the situation was that Kat was in danger and Annie and Kat needed help - he knew about Zimmy and her distortions as well as the ether beforehand. The Seraphs know all about it too - it was their plan, after all. It isn't clear whether the "normal" robots and New People know anything about the ether.
And as a reminder... Robot S13 either set all that up or at least knew about it and participated. The intent seemed to be to get Kat to focus more on improving the robots. It worked, too. This, of course, didn't stop him from fetching the robot king and helping to ride to the rescue, of course. He really is a sneaky git. A bit reminiscent of Diego, no?
Robot is clearly a plotter, a schemer, and a manipulator. Examples abound.
He also knows about the arrow, and probably where it is hidden. What could possibly go wrong?
