Alright, three panels in a row. Someone is going clown hunting after this.

This is not a joke. There is literally no change in panels. Dirk and Hal are still processing what happened.

Thanks for your shit Gamzee. But why is Equius red?

Equius….I am so sorry. But, at least you weren’t merged with someone else.

Damn….you were too late.

What? You calling for it like a lost dog?

Unfortunately, you are going to have to keep it someway else. Better become god.

Gamzee got the orb.

I can’t tell if that is a terse “fine” or if that is a sorrowful “fine”. And there is a big difference.

At least….Dirk calmed down. Do you now realize, how easy it was to snap Hal and end it all?

Isn’t everyone?

Dirk. Please don’t do this. Please, let him live, let him live as his own being in his own body. Please don’t do this.

“please. please I need to live”

They both use irony as a shield. Because of the shit they had to live through.

And the Hal voice comes through. I bet he was waiting for so long to use that line. I wonder if he regrets that his chance to use it was against Dirk.

Oh shit, he really is about to bust Hal. At least if he does look like Dirk as a sprite, the broken glasses is the difference.

Everything he has dealt with for the past 5 months (and his life before) is now reaching his point.

He is so split and fractured he doesn’t know what to do with himself.

Dave had to deal with a conga line of himself to follow.

Dirk has to deal with a shattered mirror.

He’s afraid that if he gives Hal a body, then he would see himself. And the monster that he might have become.
