Tuesday is watching Kira's descent with rapt anticipation...

You know, Kira is a Japanese name, and R and L are pronounced the same in East Asia. So her name is Killah. Clever, Pete!

(Yes, I know it's a name in other languages too.)

Her scheming was horrible! And she enters the book willingly, because Wilcott rejected her but Farahn didn't? This woman...!

There, there, bug. There must be plenty more women out there to manipulate. Promise them perfect hair every day forever, that should do it.

I'm not sure that's so much Pete cleverly coming up with that as borrowing/paying homage to Japanese works that have used the same pronunciation ambiguity (for example, Death Note, in which the protagonist's alias known to the public is Kira).

So, have we at least a partial explanation as to why death magic had to be used? I am not so sure. Couldn't the same result have been obtained with the spell of binding and unbinding? Maybe there is some risk of recursivity error and couldn't be used on itself, but that doesn't explain the need for the other two page to go through the same process.

Nice of ol' Farahan to have made a sweater for the Bug! So, who would ever use magic to deal with a broken heart later in the timeline??

Although I think their relationship is going to have some stresses due to Farahans' impulsive decision making without consulting his life partner. Kind of like emptying your joint savings to buy the car YOU want 'for your spouse' without talking to them first.

Hmm, this would be an interesting game ... list all the 'red flag warnings' in the Bug/King of All Mankind relationship. Starting with both are self-centered malignant narcissists. I wonder about their process for deciding housework.

Oh shoot, I totally forgot all this started with a "Broken Heart" spell!

I wonder if there will be some clarification about how Torg was able to free K'Z'K from Gwynn without K'Z'K having to "gift" to Gwynn whatever she had planned for him in exchange of his release.

Then Again, K'Z'K has been shown to not be trustworthy and easily break his word, so maybe it's not that important.

Well, the spell Torg casts to free K'Z'K from Gwynn:

Is almost identical (with the exception of 2 characters being at the end instead the beginning) to the spell Allie uses to remove a demon from a person:
