    Good parallel there with Syr’nj’s line at the end of Chapter 8. “You all have a choice. Remember that.”

      Agreed. I think a lot of the caps-lock yelling was Syr’s anger about her dad talking.

      But she just might choose annihilating everybody anyway…

          [a href="http://www.socksandpuppets.com/24hcd/sotr/"]Look! a comic![/a]

      Mash ‘em together and make a purple pill. It’d probably make you just like every other human – walking around in the real world with your head firmly lodged in your own private reality.

        I was in the supermarket yesterday and I picked up some lemonade from a promotional stand. As I did so, the entire thing collapsed, and I ended up fleeing down the aisle pursued by a torrent of lemonade.

        I was almost Schwepped away…

    This reminds me of the climax of Paranorman.
    In case you’re now interested in it: I’d say it’s generally a mediocre & formulaic-feeling movie, although the immediate aftermath of its climax is rather nice.

        Specifically: Protagonist is midair where the sky’s all glowy green, trying to dissuade a magically powerful lady – who is trying to kill him and is otherwise predominantly vengeful, but also has increasingly prominent undercurrents of “but I’m just trying to do good”.
