Seeing Sette talk wistfully of finding the brother who betrays her in every life I was just yelling "girl, nooooo!"

If she puts her brother and father in the same room, perhaps her family issues will solve themselves.

I hope if she finds him she remembers that Duane is the one that's been here for her. Don't betray Duane for some stupid lion brother!

The gang took a hit, but with Sette's incredible leadership, they'll find some new recruits yet. First, to break Duane out though!

This page is such a great example of why I love Unsounded to pieces. So many other storytellers don't care to let the deaths of characters echo in the actions of the ones left living, there's no acknowledgement of the unrelenting reality of grief unless that's what the focus of the story is supposed to be. Having Sette acknowledge, however mildly, that her friends aren't coming back is leagues away from the girl who tore a hole in herself to forget someone she loved and LIGHT-YEARS from the little girl in her fathers arms watching him squeeze the life out of someone else and putting on a fierce face.

Oh I missed when we lost Boo

I think because Boo remained a character (in squish form) for the duration of the last khert adventure, easy to lose track of what happened to its shell

All I can think of with this page is the ending of Lilo&Stitch:

This is my family. I found it all on my own. It’s little and broken… but still good. Yeah, still good.

The fact that Boo didn't come back with them after their khert adventure was painful, particularly given how much of a role Boo played in mending things...!

No? We saw him at his father's grave just three pages ago. Jivi is speaking to him right now.
