Welcome back to the attic, Tomie. You might recall that this is something of a trigger for her. Unfortunately, you might also recall that the house has seemingly developed a mutant healing factor, at least where that window is concerned. Talk about a perfect storm.... Let's hope this all works out somehow!

Ouch.

Oooooooooooouuuuch.

aghhh no it's like trying not to think of an elephant

paper cuts in the eyes

noooooooooo

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Heh. Paper cut to the eyes! The horror!
Give Tomie a vial of lemon juice, blessed by a priest, with silver powder dissolved in it, and she'll be a nightmare which makes the nightmares wake in a cold sweat.

Looks like Tomie is having flashbacks to her years forgotten in the attic.

At least I hope it's that, rather than one of the main cast getting sliced open and buttered like a baked potato.

Hi guys, I accidentally bought two copies of Volume 4: Sandra in the Outlands, and I thought it'd be cool to offer it to someone who was a fan but didn't have the funds. I'm in the US, so domestic shipping for a book is pretty low but international is painful, keep that in mind. But first person to reply to this with their email who is willing to paypal me the shipping fee (based on USPS rates) can have the book. I talked this over with Joe who is fine with it.

Hm, she's not talking. I don't know if it's because she's not supposed to be heard by the rest of the cast, or if she's incapable of talking without Jack near her. Or it's just coincidence. :P

Zandra doesn't know Tomie-- I wonder if they will meet. A silent woman, clearly lost, seemingly harmless and out of her depth, wandering a vampire nest... I bet Zandra will feel a need to protect this strange "idiot".

The pain in Tomie's expression... This has got to be the most painful cliffhanger in a while. Ouch, the empathy...

Even though she doesn't have a voice, I'm picturing Tomie as making the same sound Cheza made in Wolf's Rain when she screamed. I wasn't able to find any YouTube clips of it, so just basically picture a horrifying and piercing echo that is so shrill only the ears of a dog or wolf could hear it.

Welcome back, back to the attic,
In through the window with sleek acrobatics,
I have an unsettling, wriggling feeling,
That this story's about to get quite adiabatic.

Curse you cliffhangerrrrr

Question is, is it just coincidence that the window healed, or does the house want her to stay for some reason?

Attic Angst. Noun. The specific kind of feeling only felt by tomie for being stuck alone in a pointy houses attic.

You're just going to have to go out the front d… Oh. Right.

Wow, I feel bad for that vampire if he's permanently blinded. He seemed like an alright guy.

I was wondering about Tomie's combat capabilities, does she have more standard magic attacks? Not that slicing eyeballs inst cool.

Also I try not to draw to much attention to it,but Tomie is lookin fine.

Now: When the window healed, was Tomie inside or outside?

You did foreshadow this when she mentioned her fear of being abandoned again... I just hope, given that you're brining things toward an end, she won't have to make/be that sacrifice.

Tomie and Zandra go waaaaay back.
