I first read this title on a mobile phone screen, and because of the sizing I thought it said "Like Tangled Twins".  Amy and Hayley having a sexy throw down!  While Vik is pointing a gun in their direction!  While another person is pointing a rifle in their general direction!

But no, it's apparently about string.  Or string theory, but that seems pretty high-minded.

The lyrics to John Finn's Wife by Nick Cave may be instructive. Or entirely misleading.

Rifleman is Julian
Now may me think the Line in SJI-I261
Rain
Powerful people impress themselves upon the future Even after they are dead, the things they created continve to execute their will.

Meet the new head of whole harem
The Clock remind her She is part of New York Harem and to fill her duty in part of the will?
Each woman can have there own life but a ponit need to service there master.
Vik I think he dive back to his room.

I'm unclear... was Vik shot or did he just run away?

Either way, time to beat feet for everyone involved.

A few thoughts:

1) Being thrown naked into a snowbank is not very fun, in case anyone wanted an experienced account.  Still probably better than being shot, which Amy was, from the looks of things.
2) Landing headfirst in a snowbank?  Ouch.  Let's hope the snow is deep and cushiony.
3) In the final panel, is that Adrian's silhouette running down the stairs to catch up with the twins?  And Vik is diving into the apartment after he realizes that there's a laser target on him?  I'm pretty sure that's the case, but if anyone can confirm I'd appreciate it.  Also, I don't see silhouettes of either of the twins after the fall.
4) OK - so Julian is the sniper.  What agreement did he and Adrian arrive at for him to be willing to help out with what apparently is tangential to the watch?
5) There are still two women in Vik's apartment.  What does Vik tell them to do now?  Human shields?  Out the back window?

Cannot wait to see what happens next.

What I'm seeing:

Panel 1. Julian shoots at Vik's gun. (I guess he hit the gun rather than the hand but I imagine that might still smart a bit.) Vik's gun is deflected as it fires, so the bullet catches Amy's arm rather than hitting Adrian.

Panel 2. Adrian throws Amy and Hayley down into a pile of snow sufficiently deep to render their landings safe and perhaps even enjoyable.

Panel 3. Vik realizes that in this comic red lights spell danger.

Panel 4. Adrian (who possibly jumped down after the twins) runs off carrying the injured Amy. I don't understand the speech bubbles here. Adrian would surely be telling Hayley to run - he's carrying Amy. But it's Amy who replies. And Hayley doesn't appear to be running. Is this Amy being kooky again for our amusement?

Panel 5. Vik dives back into his apartment. Julian surprises us by having helped Adrian. But perhaps that makes sense after all... I think the thing on the stairs is actually part of Julian's gun but I could be wrong.


I've kept on saying that it was odd that Julian should just happen to be outside Student Health when Adrian turned up. At the very least this would confirm that Julian is aware of more that's going on than just the location of the watch. That's assuming this is Julian, but I think it is.

I have a thought on why Julian would help Adrian.  Julian wants the Watch.  The Watch is broken, so he wants to get it fixed.  Only Danielle can do that, and she doesn't want to.  She will, though, if Adrian tells her to.  Adrian can't tell Danielle to do anything if he's dead.

Conclusion: it is in Julian's interest to keep Adrian alive as a lever on Danielle, at least until the Watch is fixed.

I agree with that, although Julian following Adrian around with a rifle to see off potential threats suggests there might be a little more to it. As do his words (which he speaks in English, by the by). But - and I'll try not to say this again after this - why run Dani over, thereby risking damaging the watch and simultaneously killing the person you'll need if you do have to repair it?

I'm interested in how Dani is doing, mentally, after being healed by Erin. We've seen some evidence that she's remembering her past more clearly, but it's not clear whether this is directly due to what Erin did.

Julian may know that Erin can heal a person, But We know it take a toll on Erin body 3
Julian was with Cherry 4

1 I'm not forgetting that, but I think it raises more questions than it answers at the moment.
2 We don't know that for sure.
3 I'm not sure how this helps.
4 I suppose we don't know that for sure either. Certainly we don't know if Cherry was there when Dani was run over.

Let's imagine Julian (say) thought he was running Mallory over. So he expects that Erin will have to heal Mallory, thereby weakening herself. Then... I don't know. I don't get it. Any ideas?
