Ok. We finally get to the title. I understand her power, but I’m not sure I like it.

Also don’t love how we paused the story to walk the reader through all the hints laid down through the story. I’m not a child who needs to be held by the hand. If you had told me that she thought back about what had happened, dots could have been connected on my own.

Ok. So Fluffy Jr. is the companion. There’s gonna be more to this… at some point, right?

Seriously! Every fucking laugh is MANIC, bubbling forth.

I swear Alexis has no other awkward responses, just “manic laughter”. Ugh.

I’m starting to hate how much laughter from Alexis is described as “manic”. That’s the only descriptor.
It sticks out so bad as a crutch phrase.


good news is Alexis finally figured out her power, potentially.

Animal-robot bonding time!!!

Ooh, a different pronunciation of Kharon!

I’m starting to wonder if the music playing inside her head is part of her power somehow. Otherwise it’s the weirdest damn character trait I’ve seen in a while.


I also am high-key headcanoning Alexis as having ADHD. The zone outs, heck even the music playing CONSTANTLY in her head.

Interesting progression from a person in the street to god-child.
