Oops, well that's torn it. Opening a wibbly wobbly timey wimey thing inside the mirror dimension probably isn't a good thing.

Something is telling me, panel five was part of the illusion: Miss Psycho managed to read their minds and that was what she came up with, she pretends to be killed by something unknown, the brats move closer to confirm, she springs up and kills them

Regarding the invotive: at least Tirin is wearing something... wait, why is that a good thing? o_O

Hmm. Maybe someone or something actually snuck in behind the doppelganger?

As always, expressions, postures, and place are very well realized! Well done, Steve!
I don't pretend to know what happened...

Mirror Merger
That's the first time they touched... I think the graphic is them starting to merge.

@Eboneye: hope not, still hoping they would remain individual and separate

@Kheda and @Eboneye: That's torn it is right! Or should I say mended it? We'll see in the near future.

@Guesticus: Haha - yes, wearing something is a good thing for Tirin, but maybe not for others...

@Karyl: Thank you, Karyl. Greatly appreciate it because I think expressions are so important for this kind of stuff. So glad you like them!

@Mysto and @Guesticus: Excellent observations and guesses --- those are the reactions I was aiming for...

I'm pretty sure Abby's suit can be tracked by Slorn tech, which elder Tirin has access to.. Just speculating, but maybe she was able to locate them and stage a rescue of her own.

But then again, we're talking about folks who can mess with time. ANYTHING could be possible with that in mind.

@Mysto: no, doubt it is Tirin

Possibly Dad has out-witted the Evil-Beeotch, and found his way in. Or Mom is Alive. Hmmm....

@agedsage: no, Dad wouldn't interfere any more than Tirin would, and unless Mom was able to fool Bitchlock and her people, she's dead for reals, and it's more likely to be part of the 'test'

If I wanna take a REALLY out on a limb wild guess here, I could suggest it might be the new combined AbbyMirror using he slorn suit to step back a few moments in time after their union and end the trial.

..just sayin'.

@Mysto: interesting, except it would cheat the trials, and Lil Tir wouldn't stand for that

@Guesticus: Technically, there's already been a cheat when Abby first showed up and killed the big snake. So it's kind of late to worry about getting more help.

I'm not sure how much little Tirin would care about that anyway; I suspect she might be more interested in just winning at this point than winning fair.

I tend to agree with the winning aspect. Although.... I think we're about to return to SLORN Central for a few pages.
