That’s a major emotional disconect!
How does Tim even know that Midnight is so distraught about Shadow, rather than a broken nail (claw)?
Surely a “What’s up?” or “Where’s Shadow?” should have been Tim’s first reaction.
I’m sorry to say it,Brandon, but I think this is a failure in story-telling craft. (Or maybe I’m just old and don’t GET modern tales with bits left out intentionally.)
He literally did that on the last page…
Last panel on the previous page.
Well I will attempt address your questions as a fellow reader. I think he put 2 and 2 together. Midnight was strongly implying he somehow hurt Shadow. She mentions he promised to protect her, and that she promised to kill him if anything bad happened to her. Putting all those together with the fact that Shadow isn’t there and that this happened right after he and Shadow did the deed I think he realizes something is seriously wrong. Midnight breaking down sobbing probably helped him put it all together. He doesn’t know what happened but he can get an idea it is bad and he had something to do with it probably because they had sex. Does that make sense?
He asked “Where’s Shadow?” on just the last page and received a shove.
She gets very angry when he talks about her hearing the news of what they’d done, from Shadow he assumes.
Now she attacks him and at this point he asks her to settle down so they can talk about it and she tells him Shadow is in trouble.
What’s so hard to follow?
If his parents walk in now…well, they might be kind of off-put by him being with another Noxian girl right after he was with Shadow…
Nah, they went to bed. Let’s just ignore them like we usually do. Haha
So, if Midnight would be little less emotionally unstable, she might’ve killed Tim and they wouldn’t even notice.
I mean… yeah. That isn’t how the story goes though, is it? Haha I think worrying about alternate outcomes is rather pointless in a story that is definitely not that serious in the first place. 😅
Is Midnight wearing panties? or is she going commando.
No panties, She doesn’t wear them at all, ever. Same as Shadow really, despite what Ruth told her to do years back. They don’t like them at all!
Talk about getting straight to the point of the situation. Honest, it’s like action first and ask questions later with Midnight.
Yeah, that’s pretty much her. She is the hard-headed one.
It’s nice to see her hugging him for once.
Well, at least she didn’t kill him
Now do we compound the WHAM moment with the Mom’s history or do we get a reckless charge
oh most certainly.
In which Midnight gets her calm-down snack (sort of), but does not enjoy it.
I hope his mom heard THAT
You would think that Ruth would know that that’s not shadows voice…
…wait, they’re gonna straight up sentince her to death just for loving a human? are you serious?!
Of course not. For a security breach, however? Giving away information, willfully letting an aegis be where human(s) can pick it up…
I don’t know if I’ve made it clear enough, but Humans and Monsters are NOT EVER under any circumstance supposed to become friends in this world and absolutely not lovers.
Congratulations kid, you’ve won a do-it-yourself hero kit complete with monsters. H/T to Roger Zelazny
