    Are the two bubbles in the top right out of order? (I mention it in case it’s an error. If it’s a stylistic choice then yay stylistic choices)

      I guess they were, cause there’s only one there now.

        No, I mean the two top rightmost. It seems like “but always there is the dark tinge” should precede “the feeling that he often hid…”

          Yeah, I was wondering about that too. Seems like they should of been reversed.

    I’m more amused than I should be by the “A Dire Bear” tag.

      It’s the second best tag that exists.

      I’m also biased.

        The other Best tag is also in this strip.

      The dire bear is really the secret protaganist of the series.

        I would totally read a comic that centered on the life of a dire bear.

        The Dire Bear is Best’s Alt.

    I would hate balloon hell. I’m allergic to latex.

      balloon hell is where you get rubbed on a wall until you stick to it.

    The alt-text is kind of chilling.

      I thought so too. I wondered if it was a reference or maybe some song lyrics, but my light Googling didn’t turn up anything.

    What can change the nature of a man? What does one life matter?

        A miserable pile of memories, apparently!

          How can we exist if memories don’t exist?

    “…but there is no answer. None from Byron, at least.”

      I’m actually hoping we get Byron’s “oversoul” – the person who stepped into the vr vat and thought him up.

        That would be cool, but unfortunately I think it’s more likely to be his friend, Mister ‘Zerky.

          They’re inside Mister Zerky and have found the chewy Byron core. But maybe there’s a nugget of… Zach, was it? They revealed his name somewhere and I’m too lazy to look xD

    This has probably already been mentioned (too lazy to go back and check), but if Gravedust’s fellow mystics have been busy fighting the cyberbeast, that might be the reason they didn’t answer him when he tried to get permission to resurrect Byron. So maybe there’s a chance to get Byron back… if Gravedust managed to win the life-sized Byron doll.

      And, you know, not get eaten by Mr. Zerky on the way out.

    Fragments of memories, vibrating with the vibrancy of the life that led them, left them.
    The soul is equal to the hum of its parts.

    Please… Please let him decide for one final chance.
