Why is it that I find Kat's face mildly disturbing today.

Moirallegiance isn't the same as being soulmates. It's more about keeping each other's destructive tendencies in check, and protecting each other, often by unleashing those destructive tendencies against enemies. Get your troll romance straight. :P
Orly?

Yes. Yes really.
Spoiler: Troll Romance (click to show/hide)

So yeah. Annie and Kat are just friends, with no romance between them, troll or otherwise.

Unless of course that love letter is actually from Kat. Who else would draw an angled heart like that, anyway? >:]

I actually had that same thought. Plus the kind of knowing look she has while Annie goes to get the mail, like "Gee, wonder who that could be from...hehehehe"

Cause I'm not sure who else it could be from (other than maybe Dad)? That could be the final "change" -- Anthony Carver returns to the Court, just as Annie joins the other side.

I was actually being sarcastic. What possible motivation could Kat have to send Annie a letter?

Other people it could be from include... Well, basically the whole cast. We can probably exclude Jones and the headmaster. Pink hearts just aren't their style.

But yeah, not seeing either of them being into the other.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Has anyone considered that the letter might be from a robot? The angular heart does suggest it.

Then again, they favor Kat, not Annie, so probably not- we'll see.

I'm betting it's from Robot.

Let the industrial-grade shipping begin!

So the question now is:
is it A: Robot
B: a robot

or...
C: Diego
He's very strongly implied to be dead, what with the 'death scene' from the recording... but... I get the feeling that if anyone could manage to upload their consciousness into a machine, then go into some sort of hidden, self-loathing, self-imposed exile (after all, I wouldn't put it past him to believe himself too terrible a person to deserve the peace of death)... it would be him. I'm thinking he may still be alive somewhere, and if he got news of someone appreciating and continuing his work, he may want to get in contact with them, if only to thank them.

Now with the cover art we can make wild mass guessings at the symbolism involved in various thing! :D

Some notes that I saw in the art:
1)Heart pin on Kat - seems connected to the love letter in some way? Might be interesting.
2)Root/hand thing in Antimony's hair - entanglements of the forest? Maybe some coyote mind control/compulsion thing?
3)Wheel in top left - the circle with negative reminds me of photovoltaic cells, maybe something to do with the etheric experiments?
4)Eye satellite in the top right - fairly sure about this one, but remember the rocket that they sent up to Annie's father? MY guess is that the eye has something to do with those satellites.
