How did I not miss this though.

Hey those are some familiar faces!

"Exiled for life and held in captivity outside of the Emperor's Borders". aka "we don't have her but we're pretending we do".

Noah is still functional? I am surprised. But for him, any regular day is just as bad as a day in nightmare haunted Haven, I guess.

44535: random - Monday, November 18 2024 - 1:36 AM

Ah, socializing with cute girls. Truly, the nightmare has never ended for Noah.

44536: someone - Monday, November 18 2024 - 2:09 AM

Compared to the situation in Haven:

PRO:
- risk of being horribly tortured to death by weird monsters considerably reduced

CON:
- risk of being forced into awkwardness by pushy people who still find you hot despite you being a weirdo loner considerably increased

So, all in all, it's just a slight improvement.

He already experienced his worst day in life, it can't be that bad now. I think.

44538: Welf - Monday, November 18 2024 - 2:14 AM

So will he be going to the spring dance with her, or not? or is it already time for the summer or autumn dance?

44539: Baprr - Monday, November 18 2024 - 2:31 AM

Wait, so he's going to school again? I thought the nightmare ended!

44540: MountainEucalyptus - Monday, November 18 2024 - 2:33 AM

But what does Ciel understand, @Neorice?

What does she understand!???

44541: Some guy - Monday, November 18 2024 - 3:03 AM

@someone
I dunno, the main difference on the risk side seems to be that the monsters now look more human.

44542: Aston Whiteman - Monday, November 18 2024 - 3:12 AM

Oh, hi there...Ciel. All a dream Noah. Time to wake up.

44543: Mallory - Monday, November 18 2024 - 6:19 AM

I wonder if Noah is a hero now

44544: AnonymousPerson - Monday, November 18 2024 - 6:24 AM

Hip hip hooray! My son has returned! I hope he's not trapped in a nightmare.

44545: Tom - Monday, November 18 2024 - 6:30 AM

Waiting for the flashback to drop at any time. Y'know, wtf happened since we last saw Noah.

Poor guy will be traumatized for life.

44546: Gorzag - Monday, November 18 2024 - 7:22 AM

Wow, the light really dimmed between the last page and this one. oO

44547: Silver - Monday, November 18 2024 - 7:30 AM

Déjà vu

44548: TaranAlvein - Monday, November 18 2024 - 7:30 AM

I think the last panel may have a typo. Is that actually supposed to say "How I did not miss this", instead?

44549: Syhkane - Monday, November 18 2024 - 9:08 AM

No. "How I did not miss this though?" is stilted and weirdly instructive.

What he wrote is "How did I not miss this though?" it's a half double negative he asks himself and 100% grammatically correct.

44550: HanMK - Monday, November 18 2024 - 9:34 AM

Gonna have to say: Between the very similar event to the start of Noah's story line and the ruined painting of the Emperor, I'm getting a strong feeling like this might not be real...

44551: Melany - Monday, November 18 2024 - 10:13 AM

I feel like if this really was a dream-slash-simulation, things would've been wrapped up more neatly and less in a way that'd annoy Noah. This level of banal disappointment seems to be on track for reality, so this is real. Probably.

44552: Melany - Monday, November 18 2024 - 11:40 AM

@HanMK

The painting always looked like that, you can see it all the way back in chapter 2.

44553: Eight - Monday, November 18 2024 - 12:11 PM

It is a nightmare. Maybe also reality, but certainly a nightmare.

44554: HanMK - Monday, November 18 2024 - 1:25 PM

@Melany Huh, you're right. I must have misremembered, I was sure that the state of the painting were a clue, but guess not...

44559: Whispers of Sorrow - Monday, November 18 2024 - 10:30 PM

@Melany: Ah, but it's a return to the way things used to be before the incident with the elves, just the sort of thing he'd wish for...
