From what I'm think is about to happen, the castle is going to try and stir up his memories of his attempted suicide to remind Argus that he "belongs" it since he owes it his life and no one can change that.
Now of course that's bull since we know that Beauty will save them both somehow if Argus doesn't think of something first, but it still leaves a chill in the spine.
It also brings up the question of what will happen if Argus does change back and his contract is somehow ripped. Does that mean he'll regain the wound that should have killed him and he'll die once and die all?
Dear lord, I hope not.
I was actually thinking "arms" might be the key word here -- they look more like human arms and less like animal forelegs in this panel than before. Either it's just me, or maybe he's starting to transform.
Agreed! I don't think it's just the lack of clothes (we've seen him disrobed before) and this particular position. He's suddenly looking decidedly more human shaped in that panel.
I know how you feel. I'm in Kentucky and we were just blasted with a minor blizzard. The bipolar weather is wreaking havoc on on the immune systems in our house, specifically my little girl. She's four and has been sick more times in the last couple months than she's ever been in her entire life. And while it hasn't flooded here yet, I wouldn't be surprised. Given the way the house is situated, our backyard is basically a perpetual swamp.
Anyway, kudos to you for sticking with this through all the nonsense! That's dedication.
So... more evil whispers. The Castle? I'm really beginning to think Argus' "mother" is somehow,at least, part of the Castle Entity. Who/what else has such an active hatred of the poor guy to bring up such a moment at a time like this?
And good luck with the crazy weather. My weather is chilly and rainy, trying to snow every now and then and very windy, but nothing like yours and Ms Megan's!
Thanks ? She's mostly okay now, just has a cough that refuses all efforts to make it go away. Her doctor doesn't know what to make of it.
Yeah... as the incredible Robin Williams once said, "It's Weather by Sybil!" Seriously, the day after that snowstorm? Blue sky and in the 80's. Same thing yesterday, and today's in the 30's and 40's and gray all over.
It looks to me like the castle is reviewing both of their contracts now that certain conditions have been met. Beauty's was (presumably) made for her by her mother, and Argus' contract was made at the well. Perhaps the castle wants to renegotiate?
I'm sorry you've been having such a rough time of it, Ms Megan! I hope you guys feel better soon and the weather becomes more favorable!
Is the Beast still bleeding from the spot where his heart should be? Whoa. And I wonder what he 'can't do' and what he 'doesn't care' about anymore. What's he giving up?
Judging by the look in Beast's eyes, I don't think that the whispers will work, this time. He's got more to worry, now... like finding where Beauty is.
That looks stickier than blood, though I wouldn't be surprised if this is another reference to the stab wound in his chest. Now he's getting the creepy whispers again, so it looks like he's going to have to face his memories and/or the spirit of the castle one more time. The Beast needs a serious vacation after this, I swear.
