Chapter 5 Page 17 (pg 318)

So this chapter is really continue its dark streak.

Literally everyone has problems, issues, personal dilemmas, and won’t talk to each other to get help and it sucks.

Now Spender knows about Doorman being in kahoots with Forge, and if Isaac’s rage is bad now, it will be much much worse with Doorman dead.

Isabel is still trying to be strong, even though it is ok to show weakness. But she didn’t want Spender to get in trouble. I can’t tell if her hiding her injury is because of her loyalty to Spender, or fear to her Grandfather. Probably a mix of both.

Doc is like the only sane one here who is calm when trying to help out the children, but still isn’t one to mess with. I get the feeling she is going to do her own investigation of what happened on that train.

Issac is just inching closer and closer to that Anime Betrayal. Doorman is doing so well to help him, but he does need friends his own age. I am actually think of him and Johnny bonding with Isaac showing Johnny the ropes of being a spectral. And with Johnny seeing Isaac as a friend, he would tell his friend everything that he finds out about the ghosts. Of course, as long as this happens before Isaac goes dark side.

Finally, this is Max’s 3rd/4th day, and he is already basically permanently trapped. He is possessed by like a major enemy of Doorman & company. Honestly the more I think about it, the more I am leaning to Max having 2 spirits. Because a) BL said that snake dude was a grunge, animal instincts. b) we know that Dark Spirit can speak since they talked to Doorman. c) PJ was having fun diving through Max until he couldn’t anymore, which was the night before he got the bat. Meaning that if there another spirit in a body, other ghosts couldn’t go through.

So I am guessing that the Dark Shadow Spirit from the very beginning was the “Dark Spirit” Doorman talked to, who possessed Max on the first night, and Max also just happened to have found the bat with the second spirit.

Like Spender said, Max didn’t do the “big explosion” that newbie spectral go through. That is because Max already went through it. Just food for thought.
