    Somehow I just find him saying “Pal” incredibly adorable.

      It is a reference! I’m not going to hunt in the archives, but there’s a page where Gravedust is asked, “We’re friends, right?” And Gravedust won’t accept that title for their relationship. He says something like, “I consider us to be comrades”. And then, I think Byron asserts that they are “pals”. I could be horribly misremembering this. But the point, as I see it, is that these are the warmest words of friendship Gravedust can muster, and is a call back to past interactions.

      That would have been cool imagery if Byron was floating there in the same position as he is in his Sepia-world bacta tank instead of the fetal position.

            And I’ll completely fail and put it in a comment thread by accident instead of on it’s own chain! My skills are amazing!

      I dunno, he’s not picking up any emotional baggage, and there are plenty of emotional cobwebs about.

      (The reference, however, is awesome)

      This is horribly nitpicky, but I just went through a poetry class, so…

      The meter is off O.o

      Emphasis is on the wrong syllables. What might work better is “Roses are Red/Byron is Blue/Don’t worry my pal/I’m coming for you”

    The fact that Gravedust called Byron his pal is possibly the most adorable and heartwarming thing I’ve seen in this story.

    You can do it Gravedust. Save Byron. Save your pal.

      There’s been a thing where everybody has different things to call Gravedust. Byron said Pal, E-merl said Gravy. Don’t tell me you didn’t consider at least on your own.

      Still, yeah, cute he’d reciprocate.

        ‘On your own’ meant ‘one of your own.’

    Time to feed the shippers…

    Anyone else notice something special about the fragments of Bryons old memories and such that were important enough to stick around?.

    The only people to show up more than once were (in number of appearances) His brothers (with 2) Payet Best with 4! And Syr’ng at 6 times.

      The numbers might be even higher. I see Syr’Ng distinctly at least 8 times in this page and the last, with a couple more panels of scenes where she’s at least just off screen (Like in the view of the council, and the chains on the post that they used when testing the berserker serum)

    By the way…
    I keep pressing the previous chapter button instead of the last page button whenever I want to backtrack a bit…
    Just me being an idiot or anyone else having this problem ?
    I’d welcome it if ya’ll would switch the prev chap with the prev page button
