Yeah, not so many dead bodies around them in the original…

Enjoyable chapters so far this volume. Enjoyed the little flashback window showing some of ojisan’s fellow escapees. Not sure what to make of the little bunny page at the end of the chapter!

Chapter 64

Emma read the old man like a book. But it looks like it was too late to avoid getting caught up in whatever’s happening at Goldy Pond. But if they kidnap kids like that, I wonder what the situation was with the old man where they were all lying on the ground in his memories. Or maybe that was just a metaphor, and they got taken as well.

Chapter 64

I was thinking the same, I think some of the memory bubbles could be a bit misleading and we I think we don’t yet know what became of the old man’s friends. That was a crazy end to the chapter, like she jumped into the movie Shrek or something. Nearly the end of the week, so I couldn’t resist jumping ahead and reading next week’s chapter too…

Chapter 65

A fun and creepy chapter. This was very unexpected, perhaps I’ve just forgotten how the demons can create such civilised spaces. I loved how we explored an apparently idyllic village, with the clear expectation that something bad was coming!
