[657] It didn't have to be this way...

At this point, I think I'm done speculating for the chapter and am just waiting for the events to unfold, plot fall where it may.

Yes, "Je te deteste" is French for "I hate you".

Was she talking to Diego or the robot, though.

Kinda doubting she would refer to a robot as a person of any sort, in the middle of her outburst at Diego.

But think of all the crazy ideas we could come up with these five hours!

ok, so now I'm beginning to wonder if the robots made the tomb, and if the bull bot with it's giant arms, no neck, and tiny legs does not in fact represent Deigo himself. www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=650 as viewed by a tiny original generation matadorbot (the cambot)
www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=424 the bull bot for quick comparison.

the play was a reenacting of the original robot's retaliatory murder of their creator for his part in the death of Jeanne. they could do nothing to save her, but they could take revenge.

On the contrary, I think the bull robot is supposed to represent one of these dog trees.

Perhaps the thing that went wrong involves one of these? It certainly seems like something Ysengrin would do, sending one of his beasts to disturb the court's plans. It would also explain why the Seraph robot fights the bullbot. Naturally Jeanne would retaliate against the beast.

Personally, I think the robots would refrain from involving Diego in the tomb any more than they had to (hence why his picture was so small compared to Jeanne's.) They may not blame Diego for her death, but they certainly don't hold him in as high regard.

Hm... I think this page pretty much implies the "bullbot" is Sir Young.

Chase the non-speculating heretics from the forum!

I'm with IF. I have a feeling that Jeanne's death isn't going to be murder. More like "negligent homicide" - things aren't going to go as planned.

Now, is Diego going to be horrified...or satisfied? I have a feeling he just wants Jeanne to be frightened and unhappy, maybe so he can "white knight" her a bit...but maybe we'll see when everyone else is standing there, slack-jawed, after Jeanne's death, a bunch of finger-pointing and "you-knew-this-would-happen,' to which he'll respond "of course! Bwa ha haaa!"

We'll just have to wait and see.

Uhh...
