So sad to see Stoney using his last forces to destroy the upper crystal before to "die" , and killing Rose's real body too . Remember : https://twokinds.keenspot.com/comic/1115/

And once again, another character we got attached to thanks to sketches is lost.

So I guess we had it right, that Rose would die in order to stop Detritus. We were just wrong about who did it.

Not entirely sure Rose is gone just yet. Her real body is encased in a crystal after all. But we'll see .

I like how Stony is shown as more robotic. Rest know you were the best boi.

Stoney may be repairable by the manufacturer, but I'm pretty sure damage like this isn't covered under the warranty.

While I agree that it's not a certainty that Rose's body was caught in the fire it is definitely possible. Her body is not encased on crystal. It was hanging below the crystal. From the view we have it does look like she would be caught in the blast, but given that we do not see the body it is possible that Stoney aimed so that he would not hit her. Guess we'll just have to wait a month or two to find out.

I see how everyone is talking about that Roses body gets destroyed, but I'm 90% certain that the fire only destroyed the black tentacle things that Detritus used to stop Rose.

As fitting as it is for Stoneward to give his last breath (quite literally) to save innocent people, I do kind of feel bad he'll never the child he was made to protect.

Makes me wonder if Trace would maybe take a piece of him to carve out a toy version, although I doubt he could re-animate it given that it took Nora to give him a spark of life.

Something that was a little hard to see, but reveals that Stoney wasn't just a programmable automaton - he could apparently feel emotions:

Take a look at the last three panels. Stoney rolls to see Flora (and child) are safe. And if you look closely, just before he shuts down, the corner of his craggy mouth turns up, and he smiles at her.

Quoteth Trace, regarding Nora's powers, "spark of life". That is what Nora can do. Maybe she can create life, maybe she can't, but she can definitely give one of her creations everything they need to be alive, regardless of whether or not they actually are.

The point to notice: Flora, standing there.

No shield, no Trace. I suspect we're about to see Trace acting now.

I still wonder if Stony was just an automaton or actually alive. He does seem to be sentient and have feelings himself yet he was portrayed as robotic in this last scene. Still I kinda like Tom has left it up to interpretation so far.
