So!

So! We’ve learned a bit more about what it’s like to be Spooky — the boy who found himself in Hell with no memories of who he was or where he came from. And it seems he still has some feelings about that!

What does all this mean? Do you still think Spooky chooses to erase his memories? And if not, how does he lose them? And where does Flyboy fit into all this?

Tune in this Saturday to find out! Hope to see you there! :smiley:

Well, you know my theory. Although that “cold and empty” line also reminds me of my theory about Spooky’s missing soul.

Hmm… memories = soul? That’d be a new take, and also explain some oddities about how his powers work.

Interesting… :thinking:

Alex? You can be evil with your stories/hints. Just wanted to mention that. This is an epic (awe) page, you have to be inhuman to not feel something for Spooky.

Thank you, Bill. :slight_smile:

Yeah.

Ugh, god, this is heartwrenching ;_;
My gut reaction reading this was that, given his reaction here, well of course Spooky wouldn’t choose to voluntary erase more memories… But. A lot can happen between here and the present. And maybe what happens is painful enough that Spooky does make that choice. I’m very curious/worried about the possibilities that aren’t voluntary too, though…
rewinds brain wait a sec-- do we even know if Spooky has that power?!

Good question.
