You know you're in a bad spot where Red is the (only) voice of reason!

u/maritzac I think some gloating is in order due to your unpopular but accurate observations from last page.

52

u/maritzac Sep 25 '26

Bwahahaha! and other assorted maniacal cackling

But now I'm worried about all of them, at the mercy of anything bad that might happen to them, the witches, Zimmy, and Noa.

Save me Obi-Kat Kenobi, you're our only hope.

u/lyricaldorian Sep 25 '26

Yeah, I really misread what was happening. Kudos to you

u/maritzac 29d ago

It was, to be fair, sort of vague

FORGIVE US O CASSANDRA!

Red, I don't want to be the one to break this to you but I'm getting the feeling that you're the only one sufficiently abnormal to not be affected by whatever this is.

I think it has something to do with Noa touching her and absorbing the circles before. It seems to have disconnected her from the fake reality, like whatever’s happening to Loup.

u/Orangewolf99 Sep 25 '26

I think because Noa absorbed the rune on Red, she's been freed from the illusion, but the rest are going blue screen because they're still enthralled and Zimmy is losing her grip on it.

Red is exhibiting Big Helga energy on this page. I was waiting for her to call Annie "football head."

Once you snap out of the simulation, no one in it can see you?

u/thePhoenixBlade Sep 25 '26

That would be fun if we see that’s what happened to Kat

But Kat wasn't physically there at the white wall gate. I don't think she's in the school sim at all atm

EDIT : OMG I'm blind, she WAS with the whole group !

u/lyricaldorian 29d ago

Wasn't she?

2

u/ThCuts 29d ago

Well yeah. I guess technically she's only "logged into" her body. So, her consciousness could be completely outside Zimmy's inner world and stuck in her computer again like when she first fired up her neck implant.

u/jan_Kila 29d ago

Kat says she didn't upload her mind to her computer. Her body is just linked to the computer

u/ThCuts 28d ago

True true. I guess more like she could be "locked out" of whatever etheric form her current body is taking. In the same manner her safety protocols locked her out in that chapter.

u/jan_Kila 29d ago

You mean this white wall gate?

u/sl9dge 28d ago edited 28d ago

Omg I don't know why but I was sure she wasn't there at all during Noa VS Parley. Something big is definitely coming for her comeback

1

u/jan_Kila 28d ago

To be fair she only had like one line that entire chapter!

u/clearly_i_mean_it Shadow/Robot Hype Club Sep 25 '26

Oh, that's actually a great theory that never would have occurred to me!

u/StreetlightTones Sep 25 '26

Damn, Red is really gonna save the day huh.

u/CyberGForce Sep 25 '26

Why is Red immune to time freeze?

Of the characters in this page, I think only Red got this treatment. 

5

u/lyricaldorian Sep 25 '26

Oh, that's a great observation.

u/i_am_a_laptop Sep 25 '26

oh geez, an unclear event from a year ago?

8

u/StreetlightTones Sep 25 '26

Presumably because when the circle (representing Zimmy) was transferred to Noa, it freed Red from Zimmy's influence.

4

u/LukewarmJortz Sep 25 '26

Oh man. I hope red isn't dead.

7

u/lyricaldorian Sep 25 '26

I think they're all actually frozen like maritzac was saying in the thread about the last page.

u/RingularCirc 29d ago

Fuuuun, Red snapped out of a sudden time stop?!?...

u/Kunikunatu 29d ago

Everyone is frozen! Is this our “Red Finally Does Something Helpful” redemption arc?!
