I don't remember, does noel know about Noahs mind vacations? I assume so since noel is laughing.

Excited for the chapter drop! Though I'm also eager to see Noah right now, and I don't know the subject of the chapter drop.

@TBC Noah told Noel about that ability while they were in the fun mist just before Daddy got involved if I recall correctly.

I think it's the first time I've seen Noel laughing.

Here's hoping the chapter drop involves Noah.

Just reread the purple mist section. Noel knows the full extent of Noah's powers. Including the wishing.

@Abbie

Upcoming chapter drops are foreshadowed by the banner above the comic with the word soon and a scene of the drop.
So it will be a Burk chapter drop about Evyle and the executives meeting.

Noah and Ciel tell Noel about the mindscape & wished powers starting here, for reference. https://www.neorice.com/hoh_noah_2505

I sincerely sympathize with Hallowman's confusion. He's done everything by the books to intimidate his hostage, and holds complete power over the situation from every angle, and is still being laughed at.

Is this it? Have we finally reached the climax of this arc after 3 long years?

Dont get me wrong, I've loved it but its overstayed its welcome just a tiny bit

Excellent arc to read though, top tier writing. 👍

Noels is such a great dude. That facial expression in panel one seals the deal.

Hipster Noel doesn't want to share the joke, I see.

Nothing funnier than the idea of Noah actually being useful.

Insider-Joke!

Man you ever hate it when you create a carefully and meticulously calculated plan and cover every possible and imaginable angle, only for it to be foiled by some complete rando who JUST HAPPENS to have an ability that is perfectly suited to tearing your entire scheme apart in one move.

Poor Hallowman.

He can always say that the laugh is a hysterical reaction, if the nightmare investigates further.

The question to me is, whose mind did Noah enter? Probably Chernyl, but I'm not sure.

I kinda like how even a horrific nightmare can be caught off-guard

Yeah, the Hallowman really led with his chin here. His earlier talk of having clawed his way *out* of Chernyl's mind may even have been the kick that got the Dead Kid moving.

I'm cracking up laughing too.

Hallowman had it all planned...he's probably been watching them pretty much the whole time, except in the mist. He would have stopped them outside the hospital if he knew...

But he didn't. He didn't know Noah had a power worth considering, because the kids been so absolutely incredibly stubborn about not using it.

"You were literally about to die how many times on the way here, and you never used that power until now!? Are you f***** kidding me!?"

it's an Inside Joke
only people who are on the inside would get it

I'm double-dipping on this one, because I realized I could have had a better comment before.

"Just some, uh, Jewish joke, sir."

Ignore him Hallowman, It's the children who are wrong
