I beginning to think Goops!Tessa is more Tess than she was even prior to Team Alchemical getting chumped.

Also, given the code on this page "ENOUGH" "GO AWAY" I'm beginning to wonder just how in danger Anemone actually is.

Yep - fairly frequently we see coded messages in the barrier. I don't think any of the characters have been shown to notice or read them, but you can once you figure out the ciper.

https://www.sleeplessdomain.com/comic/chapter-5-page-13 has a nice obvious example.

Goops definitely has an affinity for teeth, right? It's not just the alt text. Big mouth thing that almost ate Kokoro also had way too many teeth.

Tessa hesitated because Tessa generally objects to the idea of shooting defenseless people in the face, then Goops was like YEAH SHOOT HER, that's what the teeth indicate.

I feel like this is setting up for a big swerve and Anemone isn't the target at all, it's gonna be to make someone like the Woman in White or the mystery rat pop up and save her.

I'm not sure what happens to this anime if we lose our exposition character/framing device. I think the next panel is featureless black and then the website goes down.

Gootessa takes over for her.

Interstitials become somewhat less informative.

TwoPair posted:

Here's the list of times the code has shown up, as well as translations. (Separated into two different sections, in case you want to try solving it yourself I guess.) Notably, when Tessa went outside to meet Goops the code was "NO NO NO NO NO NO NO" etc.

I wonder if this whole escapade isn't to kill Anemone but just to wake her up (by force). These are very localized attacks; even if she just wanted a lower profile to avoid bringing in near by magical girls before she can do the deed she could probably haev at least destroyed the whole window and had the little scorpion finish things up since anemone seems totally defenseless. No real need to deal with a precise snipe if you just want to kill, is I guess what I'm getting at

Goops actually mentions at one point that her goal is to wake Anemone up. I don't remember when or where, though.

The only direct mention of Anemone by goops that I can remember is the aside of "you'll end up as broken as Anemone" when merging with Tessa before using the dream as a focus point.

The same sequence does have this "We'll wake her up [after we're free]" https://www.sleeplessdomain.com/comic/chapter-18-page-33
But I don't think that refers to Anemone, I think that refers to the Girl in White


Well, Anemone's clearly a little special so it's possible one leads to the other regardless. Can't deny that!

Where the story goes from here really depends on if the monsters disappeared with the barrier or not, doesn't it?

That's gonna be a big part of it, yeah. One way or another we're getting some answers out of this. And if the barrier was sustaining the monsters, what happens when it doesn't that makes that a good idea?

Wild guess theory:
Goops tried merging with Anemone and that drove her crazy, according to Goops. Maybe Anemone found a way to control the monster part of herself by expelling it at night through the barrier?

Maybe Goops is still merged with Anemone and split itself to also merge with Tessa.

Is the outer barrier still up? I wonder if anemone kept up the inner barrier to patch up the weakness in golden girls outer barrier.

Getting the feeling that goopa, amenone, and golden girl were originally a team.

Going back a few pages, looks like it's about quarter to two, so if all hell breaks loose it's about fifteen minutes until the usual ending time.

Although I'm still not 100% clear on the mechanics of that and what happens at two. It might've been better to clarify that in comic before this event.

The 2am announcement asks them to make sure the streets are clear of monsters, but I guess that might just be a 'make sure everything's back to normal and nothing wierd is happening'

Could see it be something like smaller monsters dissipate near instantly, but the bigger monsters might stick around for that brief period between the barrier change over. Maybe not long enough to do major damage but enough to probably mess something up if you're careless.
