I think Claudia can tell a lot of lies.
Full disclosure--I woke up very early and checked this on my phone and thought for a half-second that Chet was right...Christmas bummer.
Minor side question--Who's the generous audience in panel #3? Red top bending down next to Adrian's guitar case. She looks too interesting to be a throwaway character.
Now, on to the other stuff. Is the pink top and rose choker Claudia's undercover recruitment outfit? Or were she and Echo recruited on or about the same time? Also, Echo's from England? Is her personal history affected by the Rain?
Now, let's back up. He was supposed to go to Juliard? He was actually admitted? And his specialty was guitar? He can't have been that awful (unless papa struck it really rich after his undergrad days with Miel, but even then). This sounds like he might be Jacqui's type even without the aid of The Watch.
Oh, so there must have been two bad breakup experiences. This narrative doesn't mesh with the one Adrian described back at the beginning...unless he was embellishing to gain sympathy. Hmm....
And speaking of The Watch...which of the girls is holding...er, storing it now?
