Chapter: Mile High Engage

+20

shouldn’t be here

There. You feed the tain, the tain eats you. Nasty boy. Would it help to know that Phineas is ok?
- caribouchat
  
  Or maybe… is that why it wanted Ulrich eyes so bad? What kind of link is there between Hazard and the tain? Did Phineas kind of “rip out his heart her own self”? And is the mysterious lady-in-chain Phineas’ star? Or is she Gideon? And who tried to… “do it themselves”? Jo herself? Or rather a certain young person? And will you sometime in the comic answer questions without raising twice as many?
  – Er, in a few years? Oh, OK.
  - l33tninja
    
    I think Gideon is the one that tried to kill himself . . . but that is completely unfounded speculation.
    - caribouchat
      
      I thought that too, but… the detached way Jo tells it, well… I think it was somebody very dear to her, maybe herself or maybe… Phineas. And Hazard doesn’t know about it, and Jo’s reaction when he asks tends to confirm this, imho. And then… “the star wouldn’t let the host die”…
      - Wereael
        
        Brokenspectre looks a lot like Phin, and has a visual presentation of someone who tried to destroy themselves, but were kept alive by their star. The question is, who is Brokenspectre??? Is it a different representation of Phin, someone connected to her through spirit? Not entirely sure.
      - Sage
        
        im pretty sure that brokenspectre is phin’s star
        or star astra… i cant quiet tell if they are one in the same or different altogether
      - Wereael
        
        I think Aria replied in another thread that brokenspectre’s are unique entities related to commanders or something. This one seems to be Phin’s, yeah. What’s a Star Astra?
Brad

Neat. Two sides of the same coin. So is Phin destined for a Tain-bae?
Amaaré

As I’ve come to expect, the greatest parts of your art come out when you have to draw weird sparkly anime stuff.

  - Joe ST

    - Aria
      
      Don’t worry about it! Truthfully that’s one of my favorite reactions to get when people read my stuff hee. Glad you’re enjoying it!

Man, sometimes these people that just can’t share . . .
caribouchat

I love how they regain trust in one another, page after page.

I noticed some weird correlations between Ulrich and Hazard; in a couple of the images in the extras gallery Ulrich’s right eye is messed up, or covered. Also the moons in the background of this pic, may foreshadow Ulrich having a connection to moonlight.
and, they both like fancy hats.
