Well, I still don't think it's conclusive. After all, why is it that what's happening in Aiken's 'dream' is what is actually happening in the room? That makes perfect sense to me if the dream is what's going on in Aiken's mind while he fucks her, but not if it's what his soul is dreaming about inside Miriam. Also, why does Miriam keep interacting with these unthinking zombies, reassuring them that their souls are safe?
The positions of Erin's leg and her two hands in the first panel suggest very active participation. Her expression may be a little passive, but she no longer looks like a zombie - none of them do, really. And what did Aiken do when he went to the bedroom? Did he stand there by the bed with his clothes on until Miriam arrived with Amaltheia? Not to put too fine a point on it, why is his penis erect? Neither Erin nor Aiken can be truly unthinking, but they can be dreaming - or doing something like it.
Besides (and perhaps this is just because I don't really believe in them), I can't see how a soul would dream.
Anyway, regardless of that, I like this page very much. But if it isn't obvious, I like it better if this is mind control rather than soul control (which sounds like a terrible album).
Influenced by Jakob as she is, I don’t think Miriam is above watching her “pets” fuck for her amusement. She told Ama that Aiken had business with “Erin’s snatch,” seeming to consider his attraction to her secondary and the carnal act itself primary. Similar to her taunting Jacqui after being “soul-sucked” by saying that she’s always been a cunt, so now that’s all she is. The worst aspects of Jakob’s fetishes seem to have come alive in Miriam.
Also, just because something is happening in Aiken’s “vision” and it’s mirroring his body fucking Erin’s body IRL doesn’t have to mean that’s the focal point of the vision itself. Jacqui isn’t actually being used as a cumrag, Reka isn’t actually being trained as a harem girl, Ama isn’t actually part of some monstergirl stable. The bodies of the victims seem entirely responsive to Miriam’s commands while being rather “dead” in their actual reactions. Reka appears blank as she masturbates in Miriam’s lap after being sucked, which seems to suggest to me that Miriam simply told her to masturbate because she thought it would be hot. Ama was handled “offscreen,” but even as she is dressing down it is done passionlessly, as if the body is simply responding to commands without any conscious volition on the part of the mind.
