But you stopped going south somewhere along the lines, as you won't be facing south anymore.

On the Curonian Spit, the end-point is the most northern point of the spit, and the German name is "Südpunkt" (southpoint).
Why? Because you can only go south from there.

I created a forums account just to post this. Been a lurker for years and truly enjoy the comic. Thank you for this great piece of work :D.

Is it possible that when Humans sleep the "Mask" we have might fade and the Loroi can "see" his dreams. That's the impression i got from the WIP of young Jardin, it could also be a simple flashback story though too.
Keep up the great work and stay safe/healthy :D.

Might require more than just a human at rest given how much time Reed spent outside his door with him sleeping in solitary.

The "Mask" seems more like something that requires focus to lower which is why Alex doing the zen thing let him spot Fireblade.

Wouldn't sleeping be considered a lower focused state? Was it confirmed that a guard stayed at his door the whole time? They might of just locked it and left him be (unless to bring him food). In fact that would make since, since he is "Alien" to them, they might of quarantined him off and kept others away while they studied his bio flora fauna to make sure he wasn't toxic to them. Or i could be completely off mark. Good food for thought tho.

Fireblade: Either you shut him up, or I'LL shut him up.

Beryl: :shock:

Also, that picture would be the perfect meme face for '110% done with this shit.'

Indeed. For the first time she actually doesn't look tough, angry or annoyed, but rather sad, depressed and tired. I would imagine she's "talking" about some of the horrors she went through during the Umiak occupation of her homeworld.

I'm waiting for the next page to come out to read what she's saying...

On a more serious note, she looks a bit... haunted. Wonder if she will actually grace him with her voice?

It's from the first season, I think episode 4 or 5.

Maybe in a full REM state, since that's when the brain is in full data-parsing mode. Even then, it would probably require both a powerful psychic and physical contact.

My guess about the "mask" effect is that it's just a natural outgrowth of humans being utterly psi-blind by adulthood. It would also be of no surprise to me if children, often known to be surprisingly perceptive of things around them, are by Loroi standards modestly psi-active until their brains fully develop and go into psychic lockdown.

If so said lockdown could be learned rather then inevitable. Perhaps pci abilities could be trained rather then be allowed to atrophy.

I'm just imagining Alex having a nightmare in this couch fort and all the other girls there 'seeing/feeling" it, or something like he gets a bad headache and it affects them, when cuddling (thus close/touching).

As to the psi block and if kids could be more perceptive. Well... that's a good thought, let me run it though the ol' thought engine above and see what pops out.
It begs to ask if the psi block from a early age could also be trained out and make a human more perceptive as an adult.

I'm imagining Buddhist (or someone who is very good at meditating) monks who could be sensitive.
