Auri enters a sexy new area. We talk about what Wains might have been in the beforetimes, do an oddly extended series of riffs on chandeliers, are very correct about what electricity is (don’t correct us), and how exciting it is to have a numerical mystery.

Auri considers where the key might fit. We talk about her names for places in the Underthing, how the Underthing is like a Metroidvania, and discuss the implausibility of waxed ropes.

Auri considers the key, and the gear, and their proper places. We talk about the frustrations of trying to understand Auri’s logic, slutty little bones, and the craft of doing bits.

An illustration of a curving tunnel, lined with pipes, dominates the page. We talk about our favourite pipes, the apparent anachronism of the pipes, and just barely avoid getting deep into a riff about the laying of the pipes.

Auri begins her post-finding ritual. We talk about what reward making things proper might offer, what Auri gets out of her ablutions, and where the Underthing connects to the University.

The new treasure gets inspected and an old friend returns. We talk about the relationship of the prose to Auri’s state of mind, how Foxen is endowed with character through bumbrous language, and we learn about malapropisms and spoonerisms and neologisms.

Auri struggles underwater, is snagged by the hair, and probably is doomed. We talk about the rare nonmagical binding, how this page establishes the stakes of wrongness for Auri and her fanatical attitude, and that maybe she’s right to have it.

Foxen falls into the inky abyss. We talk about the illustration from Auri’s perspective, what contact lenses are made of, and talk about white dots that may or may not be there.
