It appears we are going to get a look into the past of a person that Torg (and Riff) knew. Or could this this is just a normal Tuesday?Let's see what unfolds... ---- Vote for Sluggy Freelance at Top Web Comics. Remember to vote, or we spy on you with the crystal ball.

A scary memory from Riff’s past or time/space anomaly? Imma go with the easier of the two.

That doesn't look like a Riff memory; it looks like a Mme. Champignon memory from first-person POV.
...Wait, where has Kiki been getting the paper to make all those "get well" cards?

Yeah this is weird. If the guy is Riff and Torg's age, why does he look like the kid they rescued from the Mushroom Hag?

Fred appeared only in the prelude to The Darkest Wood, in the photo album, and now in the crystal ball. All the signs seemed to indicate that Fred was an earlier victim of the mushroom hag – except for the special font used in the prelude and on Friday's page. When the hag actually appeared in the frame, she spoke in the same font as the others. Now that we find out that Fred is alive, I'm starting to wonder if the prelude was a red herring. There isn't actually any proof that the person asking Fred to come closer was the mushroom hag.

The font could have indicated some sort of telepathy rather than audible speech.

All we really know is that everything is interconnected, full of mystery, and that Pete is a tease.
A TEASE, DANG YOU.

Well, doesn't that have wonderful implications on what being in there is doing to Riff's mind...
