One more take on the 434

[Amake]

We're not through talking about this episode, are we? Though I didn't find any threads about it, so here's one.

I'm thinking the red text in yellow boxes must be Black mage. "Why did you do it like that?" has to refer to the way they're flying with BM smeared over the nosecone of the ship, and his "I'm going to look back at this one day and think its hilarious" directly following anonymous #1's admitting "that was funny" doesn't imply anything else.

That is if we suppose the final panel has anything to do with the rest of the comic at all. I'm working under the assumption that the comic is intended as as a solvable mystery, where one can look at the present facts and piece them together correctly using logic. (If it isn't, there's no point to any of this. . .)

The speaker with the black text on red background is harder to be sure about. The language - particularily the use of the word "goad" - and the philosophy present in the first panel, as well as the evident mental sensibility of the speaker, all suggest White mage. I mean, she is the only character capable of actually listening to someone, of maintaining a normal conversation.

The real question though, what actually happens that we're not seeing? Is this really a flashback from the future? Or is BM just making up the whole conversation in the present? Compare the amount of time he spends imagining his indiscriminate killing sprees to how often he actually does it. When the dialogue is repeated in the present, as it undoubtly has to be, it'll probably involve BM going "This is just how I imagined it and yet not at all".

Now, I'm not bringing this up cause I want to see who's right or wrong. I just can't wait to see what happens. :3
