Panel One: Now well it's Erin after healing Cherry
But Erin had her trademark haircut by the time of the incident (272). While the hair colour in 227 doesn't look like either of theirs, its shape doesn't look like Erin's, while it could be Cherry's.
That said, it isn't clear what Cherry's hairstyle was like in 272. 256 suggests Erin changed her hairstyle not that long before she came to Wilmot. In g2 the other woman has her hair styled a bit like Erin's, which may itself be suggestive of something.
The other idea I had for this panel was Mallory. We know something bad happened to Mallory's friend Charlotte (g21). Presumably she died because - hello - here's Baron La Croix. Did Mallory do something about it? (Did it involve the chicken?)
Panel three dead chicken may be part of Mallory
Indeed, but Mallory's chicken is still alive. So is this the past or a possible future?
Panel Four Now we know is Denielle make the watch
But is this the past or a possible future? I accept it may be Dani making the watch in the first place, but we're presented with it on the night the watch was destroyed. And the idea that someone would want the watch to be rebuilt follows the very next day.
(There is an interesting idea of a watch as an instrument of enslavement and the parallel or directly connected idea of the fulfilment of a 330 year old promise. The watch being broken interrupts the flow of events - time is standing still. And, well, it
is a holiday weekend in the story.)
Panel five to me is Echo
We've been here before. This makes no sense to me. It's not an oboe and it appears to be quite an old instrument. But no matter - you may be right.
Panel Six is Erin and Mallory in bed with Adrian There are six lags
I think the point of this panel is that Adrian is awake and thinking while everyone else is still asleep. My first take on the page was that the other panels were the various thoughts going through Adrian's head, but the chicken, say, would be hard to explain. The title is a quote from Under Milk Wood by Dylan Thomas, which starts at daybreak with the audience being told what various characters are dreaming about. That gives us the possibility that what we're looking at in 227 are the dreams of SJI characters. If Adrian is awake then we can't see his dream. All these other things are going on and he's got to deal with them.
You may be right on 256 but can be any maie.
Could be. It could actually be a female I suppose (but probably not one in this comic). But someone just bought Erin her ceremonial sword (or dagger, or whatever) for Christmas. It's right there, like it's just been opened. So someone with a working knowledge of magic bought her a present and it looks like maybe she's saying thank you. At this point we only know of one male character from Erin's past who fits that bill. But yes, that's just guessing.
