Also grief isn't some constant thing that stops you from ever being happy. Given Cassidy is still not confirmed dead and all the stuff Tenebrais pointed out, of course they're happy.

Looks to me like there is a hole in the outer barrier. That weird patch was some kind of brick wall that had an inner barrier over it.

This page makes me think that Tess doesn't know the letters on the window are goops.

My sense of dread is just building and building.

Hug that girl!

I hope something kind of cuts the tension. So much was built up leading to this, and now Undine has finally confided in Tessa. But it hasn't really released the sense of dread because now Tessa is the one hiding her ominous interactions from Undine.

Strong evidence for Goop controlling/being the barrier.

I think we're getting a peek into what monsters really are.


My personal theory is that the monsters are nightmares. That when the inner barrier covers the city during the night, it taps into the populace's dreams (the woman in white has interacted with Undine's dreams a couple of times but only when she's been asleep with the barrier up, which I don't think is a coincidence) and harvests them for power to fuel the outer barrier (the static effect on it looks exactly like the effect on people's eyes when they try to remember something they dreamed and forgot). But nightmares can't be used for this purpose and get spat out into the street as monsters so they don't mess up the rest of the system. Perhaps when they infect people they're just trying to get back home - and Goops is using that same pathway here.


This is a cool theory, but it raises the question of why the outer barrier exists at all. The story is that it's to protect from monsters on the outside, but if monsters are just incidentally caused by the fueling of the outer barrier, that would have to be wrong.

Really interested in seeing more about the guy from the outside.

I bet since goop's eye is missing there, that one is just Tessa's normal eye. Good way of showing that Tess is now half goops.

Maybe this amalgam needs a new name. Toops?

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.

There is a monster club as well, so there must be some distinction between outer science and monsters.

Feels it's almost certain that girl in white does outer barrier/powers while anemone does night barrier and goops is caught up with whatever is causing monsters. And I bet that they used to be on a team together.

Yeah, zero percent chance Tessa is fully gone. She's not fully in the driver's seat but she's there. She'll fight back against Goops control at some key point.

The financial and social prestige related perks of being a magical girl have come from being cool and killing monsters. Hanging out in a hospital just in case something very unlikely happens doesn't seem like it is going to be compelling to any of these teens.

Genuinely confusing thinking. If you do something nice, you're obligated to keep doing it forever or it's a moral failing?

Do we know they're talking about revealing hoops truth? They brought up bringing more people in, but that could be something they're doing separately, and the thing they're talking about on this page is revealing that they're dating.
