Some Angry Clown said: LET KOTORI SAY FUCK, YOU MONSTER.

Never. She is pure and must remain so forever.
The moment she acts rambunctious, she will immediately cease to exist. Just look at her face.

Obviously, your rudeness is way beyond her, for her mind is entirely blank.
She can't even comprehend what a F*CK is.

So if you love her, you'll keep the profanities far, far away, alright?

A Seething Person said: YOU LAUGH AT MY PAIN, AND TO BE PERFECTLY HONEST, I'M A BIT ANNOYED BY THAT.

Are you a fool? You sure sound like a fool.
Get this through your head, fool.

In life, nothing is funnier than other people's misery and pain.
That's why I will laugh at you until I cry, and there's nothing you can do about it.

Naturally, I expect you to laugh at me in return when the day of my own Fall comes.
Though it may take a good while for that to arrive, just sit and bide your time until then, will you?

For now, let's laugh together at this blue idiot with the empty eyesocket. Ha.

Someone mournful yet mysteriously quick to recover, said: Kaji's dead. I'll never recover from this loss. Anyway, what if it was purple?

A clever kid said: Pick Ruit's eyepatch. It's basically a card, right?

Someone, I dunno who, frankly, said: Pick Green. Shatter the false dichotomy.

Hm? Are you sure?

Another unknown person said: Pick green in a shocking plot twist. That's what good writing is made out of.

Well, if you're sure.

Lune: Joker.
Suvillan: Oho! A bold move!
Selene: You get to kick one of us out!
Selene: Who's it gonna be, Lune?
Lune: Hmm... Selene, you can go first.
Selene: Aw! I actually wasn't expecting that...
Selene: Why me!? I thought we were besties!
Lune: ...I don't have to explain my choices, do I?
Lune: Just move it, please.
Selene: I don't even get an explanation, huh!?
Selene: You're soooo cruel. :'o
Lune: Next...

A very Wise Guy said: Pick green, because when gambling, green is good!

Lune: Green.
Lune: Ah.
Lune: What is it?
Lune: Wrong card.
Lune: Oh.
Solis: Uh, joker again? What even is your plan here?
Lune: Well...
Lune: It is a gamble.
Lune: And gambling is good.
Solis: Says who!?
Lune: So says myself.
Selene: Whoa, I never expected to hear that from you of all people, Lune!
Lune: I've been getting all these ideas from me.
Lune: I don't agree with them entirely, though.
Lune: So they're a bit all over the place, I suppose.
Lune: But it would be strange to reject my own ideas, wouldn't it?
Solis: Huh? Um... I'm not following, sorry.
Solis: But, it's totally fine to reject your own thoughts every once a while.
Solis: That's normal, Lune! People change their mind all the time.
Lune: Ah. I thought so.
Lune: But when it's like this...
Lune: My rejections themselves are getting rejected.
Lune: What are you talking about?
Lune: You know what you're doing. Stop it.
Lune: Oh no. I sound crazy, talking to myself like that.
Lune: Cut it out.
Lune: Yeah. Think of how this makes me look.
Lune: Ugh. I'm making this so difficult...
Ruit: Lune... perhaps we should call the game off now?
Lune: No. Never. I'm fine. All is under control.
Lune: Look. I don't want to play that joker card.
Lune: There's a better play I can make.
Lune: That's right, if I just think a little more...
Lune: Ah.
Lune: But I already put it down.

NEXT.

Kotori: IS TO ISOLATE THE PRINCE!
Lune: !
Lune: She is onto me.
Lune: Onto us.
Lune: That's why I said not to follow intrusive thoughts without thinking.
Kotori: Heh heh, that's not all, Lune...
Kotori: I think I can also guess how you're feeling right now.
Lune: Oh dear.
Lune: I didn't anticipate this.
Lune: Worthy opponent.
Lune: Good thing she is eliminated.
Lune: I ban you from speaking when you are in timeout, Kotori.
Lune: Kindly keep whatever you are assuming to yourself, please.
Kotori: Aw! But if I'm not winning this,
Kotori: Then I wanna have a small revenge, at least!

NEXT.

Kotori: Lune...
Kotori: Your plan is a success.
Kotori: Now, that it's just the two of you,
Kotori: I think your heart's dancing with joy.
Lune: Nonsense.
Kotori: Yessense, actually!
Lune: I have never experienced the emotion of joy in my life, ever.
Kotori: Not until today, sure!
Kotori: Lune, deep down,
Kotori: You must be sooooo satisfied right now.
Lune: ...

A rather expressive person said: So sad Aria died in the fire... :'( ...Pick blue! :D

Lune: Baloney.
Lune: Go to your timeout corner.
Lune: Now.
Kotori: Haha, fine, fine!
Kotori: I guess I said more than enough, huh?
Ruit: Uh...
Lune: Now that I've been called out so blatantly...
Lune: Must I admit to it now?
Lune: How embarrassing.
Ruit: Lune, I... don't really understand, but-
Lune: No, that makes no sense.
Lune: There is nothing to admit to.
Lune: Therefore, there is nothing to be embarrassed about.
Lune: I simply chose at random.
Lune: It was a coin flip in my mind.
Lune: That's right.
Lune: It just so happened to lead to this.
Lune: And now, we are going to battle to the death.
Lune: In cardgame, of course.
Lune: I will show no mercy.
Ruit: I... I-I... I am very confused and afraid right now.
Lune: It's alright, prince.

NEXT.

Lune: It's just a 1-v-1 fight.
Ruit: Oh yeah...?

Eventually, after so long that I got DEATHLY bored...

Selene: And our winner is...
Selene: The gorgeous, pretty, cool, amazing,
Selene: And plentiful, Lune Umbra!
Ruit: Guhhhhhhh...
Kotori: Ughhhhhhhhh!
Suvillan: How predictable...
Solis: Well done, Lune!
Solis: Mixing up the colors was a good play!
Suvillan: Of course Ruit's the sort of ruler who loses to his own subjects!
Ruit: Ghhh... know this, fiend!
Ruit: After witnessing the breadth of Lune's desperation for the prize...
Ruit: And the depth of her devotion towards my humble self, along with how much she was willing to sacrifice for me...
Ruit: I was so, so moved. So much, that I simply... allowed her to win on purpose.
Suvillan: ...
Suvillan: On purpose, my foot.
Suvillan: That was a good old fashioned ass-kicking of the rawest degrees and you know it. You are a salty, salty, sore loser, who will do anything BUT admit defeat.
Suvillan: You little Bitch.
Ruit: S-so profane! You are a classless person, prince!
Suvillan: At least I'm right, though!

NEXT.

Lune: ...
Lune: Wow.
Lune: I didn't know I needed this in my life before.
Lune: But now that I'm seeing it...
Lune: I realize it's actually everything I have ever wanted.
Solis: ...So, heeeey. Congrats on the victory and all.
Solis: But aren't you forgetting something, Lune?
Lune: Ah. You.
Lune: Right. I've promised to share the spoils.
Lune: Here you are, Solis.
Solis: Thanks, haha!
Kotori: Grrrrrrrh! S-stop it!
Kotori: You're not allowed to see that!!!
Ruit: Neither is she... please...

NEXT.

Lune: I apologize.
Lune: I shouldn't do what makes you unhappy.
Suvillan: (Gee. What are we watching right now.)
Selene: (I'm not sure, but I'm enjoying it either way!)
Lune: This photograph...
Lune: It really is one of a kind.
Lune: A special moment in time is preserved, forever unchanging.
Lune: One can admire it for as long as they want to.
Lune: I was so blinded by the idea, the permanence of it all,
Lune: That I dared prioritize it over the impremanent.
Lune: I shall tear it into a thousand pieces if it's what would make you forgive me, prince.
Suvillan: (Does she know about the copies?)
Selene: (Nope, nt at all!)
Suvillan: (Hahah! Excellent... the torment shall never end.)
Selene: (We'll have lots and lots of fun competitons again!)
Lune: No, I don't even need forgiveness...
Lune: If it would make you feel better, then I will do it.
Lune: I'll even use Selene's new gigantic cat-princess-mecha to destroy it.
Lune: I hear those eyelasers burn through flesh like it's nothing.
Selene: HEY! THAT IS TOP GOVERNMENT SECRETS, LADY!
Suvillan: Whoa... does something like that really exist?
Selene: S-sort of... but Lune is NOT allowed to use it!
Selene: Let alone TALK about its existence...
Suvillan: C-can your creation really do something that brutal?
Selene: Um...
Selene: I don't mean to let you down,
Selene: Nor do I want to get your hopes up,
Selene: But rumors about my mecha are greatly exaggerated.
Ruit: Lune! You really would do that for me!?
Ruit: N-not whatever you said about the mecha, but,
Ruit: You would destroy that cursed object forever if I asked?
Lune: Yes. I won't even hesitate.
Lune: ...
Lune: Well, maybe only a little.
Lune: But it would be fine, so long as I do it for your highness.
Ruit: Oh, Lune...!

NEXT.

Ruit: I am so, so happy!
Lune: !
Ruit: Hah, you made me go through such a ridiculous roller-coaster of emotions,
Ruit: But for all the pain, sadness, and fury,
Ruit: None measure up to my joy right now!
Ruit: In seeing you return to my side, yes!
Ruit: You're the best friend I could ever have, truly!
Lune:

NEXT.

Lune:
Lune:
Ruit: Lune?
Lune:
Ruit: Are you well...?
Lune:
Suvillan: Sigh...
Suvillan: Well, this is also predictable.
Selene: Your highness...
Selene: You completely broke her.
Suvillan: Totally. Even I'm not that cruel!
Suvillan: Or dense, perhaps?
Ruit: Huh???
Suvillan: I concede. You are the eviler villain of this little get-together, Prince Ruit.
Ruit: What!? Me? EVIL?
Suvillan: Indeed. Yaaaaawn... Yeah, I'm done with this.
Suvillan: You may celebrate your victory now, or whatever.
Ruit: I-I don't get it...

NEXT.

Ruit: But I suppose this means I DID technically win.
Ruit: And it was with my dearest Lune in a way, too! Ha!
Ruit: We are unstoppable together, truly!
Lune:
Selene: Oh, poor girl~

NEXT.

Gaaaaaaaaaaaah!
I've been watching this for so long now, and I still don't get it!
They played a stupid weird fake card game. He hugged her, and then it ended?

I don't get it at all! What's the lore-implication of this entire event!?
Hey, THEORISTS, you wise-guys have got to have an explanation for all of this, right?

There's a REASON you were shown this crap, RIGHT?

It's not all jokes and fluff, EVERY WORD in EVERY LINE here has to lead up to SOMETHING GRAND, doesn't it!?

You think so too, right? No?? Yes???

Well, if the answer is NO...
Then I'm going to be SO FUCKING MAD.

AND TRUST ME. You don't want me to be MAD.

SO YOU BETTER EXPLAIN IT TO ME NOW.
THE DEEP LORE LYING BETWEEN THE LINES HERE.

GOD. I FEEL LIKE AN IDIOT MISSING SOMETHING HIDDEN RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES OR SOMETHING.

EXPLAIN IT TO ME! JUST DO IT!
NOW!!!!! HURRY!!!!!

BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T...

I WILL BE SO ANGRY THAT EVERYTHING WILL BLOW UP.
AND THEN YOU'LL NEVER, EVER...

SEE THESE SCHMUCKS EVER AGAIN.
HOW ABOUT THAT, HUH?

YOU UNDERSTAND NOW, RIGHT!?

GOOD. THAT'S YOUR HOMEWORK OF THE YEAR NOW.

OK. SO LONG, THEN.
IT'S BEEN A DISPLEASURE.

GOODBYE.

This was so fun that I almost want to make a comic solely drawn in MS paint, with a mouse, under a time limit where each panel must be made in 10 minutes or less.

Anyway, we're back to Normal on Wednesday. You can safely just ignore all of this if you didn't like it. :)

Nevermind3476

the grand reveal here is that solis will die second

Pir

Wjo is this orange guy ?

BoyfriendFan55

Solis is dead.
I'll never recover from this loss.

anyway cool comic

Dell Conagher

My personal theory is that we're supposed to laugh at the darn author who's been killing off characters and has no easy recourse to use them again.

The lore here is obviously that this is actually happening at the exact same time as the main story's most recent updates. Solis left Nino after getting brainwashed and this is where he went.

KitKat

so be it. I shall await the day your own Fallout comes.

Theory: On pages 192-193, Kotori seems to believe that by sending Solis after the assassin, she is sending him to his death. ("Sacrificing a piece can still lead to checkmate.") This page clearly just literalizes the metaphor, with Kotori actually killing him.
