Something just occurred to me about the newest page, Tom I think specifically made revealing Maren’s eye(s)/full face delayed as a hint/tension building then reveals them in Panel 6 as “she” fades. They’re just plain bright white. Like ShadowTrace. Just thought it was an interesting parallel worth mentioning.Bellhead wrote: ↑Wed Jul 29, 2020 2:36 amThat said, we don't know how she's appearing now, unless it's an illusion created either by Shadow Trace or Rose, for some reason. It's my personal theory that that red text, The body has been prepared, was said by Shadow Trace, who I assume is some kind of copy Dark Trace made for the purpose of assisting with his plans on account of he trusted absolutely nobody towards the end.
Could be a reveal indicating it’s shadowTrace taking her consciousness for a test drive or maybe as others have mentioned possibly Maren just managing to squeak out a distress signal, or both!
