a very human philosopher
and monterey was really a failure, looks like everything he did failed to work as intended…
do the golems have something to do with Agatha waking up (or is resurrecting a more appropriate word?)
Aria
nah! golems are just attracted to other golems, which Agatha technically counts as (a starstone spirit living in a mineral).
Agatha woke up because she’s always had her own heart, monty just built on top of it and lied to her about it. when he died she basically just rebooted without the extra restraints he had installed and attached to himself.
So she’s free now. Damaged, broken, but free. And for a third time, she might have a chance to be something.
Let’s do this. And thank you again Aria for making this comic. It’s such an amazing ride.
Aria
Thank you so much for reading it!!

This update was exactly as sad as I expected… and many, many times more heartening. It is a beautiful note that pulls softly at the heartstrings, and brings a calm smile. Thank you.
I love how this part fills in a few of the little spaces that were missing, bringing about a better understanding of your world and I love the art for it, especially this page. It communicates so well!
I can’t wait to see what follows, I’ve got some thoughts about certain characters, though I feel that I have some misconceptions too, and I look forward to the answers to these thoughts.
Aria
That’s so kind of you, it means a lot that this sequence landed for some folks <3
This arc has a lot more clean-up than the last one did, I hope it answers most of your questions!
