You know.
Looking back at.
What we missed.
It seems that.
This whole situation.
Could have been resolved.
By simply.
Cutting the seventh string!

Damn it.
Don't interrupt me.

Hey guys, some "technical" issues here.  It's all drawn, but... well, I'm kinda busy destroying the final vestiges of a leech that's been draining my soul for half my life.

It's going pretty well  :)  I think I may dedicate DNTTRS to those regrets that made it all possible.

As for the "seventh string" hypothesis, let me clear this up right now, before you guys start theorizing about the loyalties of all my supporting characters :P
1.  First off, strings do not work that way.  I cannot tell you how they work exactly, since that knowledge is not yet supposed to be available to you guys, but, as an analogy, you wouldn't amputate a plague boil to get rid of a disease.
2.  With that enjoyable image in mind, , even if destroying the string would have allowed Sophia to manipulate the cultist leader, let me please remind you that the cultist leader didn't exist in the first place.  He was an illusion.  Everything he threatened to do was an illusion, supposedly crafted by past Sophia, who IS past Sophia, not some imposter.  It's not even clear if the Angel cult itself was an illusion or not.  All we know is that the Advisor (past Sophia) tricked present Sophia into killing her only "friend" (more like a non-enemy) in this stupid grey world by disguising him as a threat.
3.  If it were that simple to just cut the seventh string, then none of this would have been possible, and the story would have fallen flat.  Yes, I am using story progression as an argument :/

In the future, I'll try to make the bad guy's monologue more... monologuey.  Its a fine line between leaving your readers in the dark, and having your bad guy be a mustache-twirling exposition machine.

DANCE SOPHIA DANCE OR YOU'LL NEVER HAVE A CHANCE!
YEEEEEESSSSSSSS DDDDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNCCCCCCCCCCCEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All fucking right, took as long enough!

DANCE!



The end of an era, the beginning of a failed age!



No more darkness...

No more light.




Nothing left to see.  For...



"The world is burning,

and it is burning to the ground!

:"She... she dances almost as well as HE does!"

Peace is finally found...





Fire is the only sound!



:"It would seem that GleeJoy's men have come to collect..."



The Scavenger Birds have betrayed GleeJoy!



:"It would also seem that they underestimated the birds' will to survive!  WE FIGHT FOR THE HEARTBREAKER, WOULD-BE QUEEN OF PREY!"




GRANDMASTER PUPPETEER TECHNIQUE: FRIENDLY FIRE!




Ashes, ashes, all the ash turns into dust!

:"Manipulation's a bitch."








Dust made out of glass and rust!














...






:'The Greylands have been purified..."





:"Game's over, little world-burner."




What will Sophia do?

What.
Just happened?


We beat them.
By dancing.

Is everyone dead?
That would be sad :'[

The Angel is in control now.
This could be.
Very bad.

Or Very Good

Is it just me, or
Does the Past stand before you, dressed for battle?
With fangs attached to strings?
Fangs that latch, that stick in you?
The past makes the strings, builds the bridges, that you cut, you burn.
It looks like the past is connecting more strings, and locking them in with fangs.
For the love of god Sophie, don't be touched by the fangs!!
Perhaps Sophie can cut the fang's strings too?

A Manifestation Of The Past, That is all it is.
But Yet You Must Not Kill It

...No. You have let the Angel's Reign Free For Too Long.
This One Must Be Disposed Of! Do You Understand The Danger You Are In?


Do not Destroy It
It Is Your Past By Killing It You Kill Yourself
You
With Your Limited Sight
Cannot Understand

Prepare for battle! But don't engage, instead, ask for its identity and for it to surrender.

It seems that we are at a point...

Where we must defeat the...

Spectre, of Sophia's past...

Which has followed as as an angel...

And has helped us so...

In beginning a rampage...

To fight it is futile...

SO THAT LEAVES....



I dunno, a debate?
