Glad to see White Chain again, when exactly did she get the crown from Solomon?

I like how both sides of White Chain’s personality are on display here. First few panels, she’s extra-terse…only to actually cry when the door is closed.

I didn’t realize she was considered short though…like, Vigilant Gaze is huge by any stretch of the imagination, so of course a human White Chain would be smaller in the scenes where he gives her some clothing. I’m not sure what I think about that, given being tall has always been a thing with her…

Hmm. ::finds examples of White Chain in her human body around others::

We can see her height here:

• https://killsixbilliondemons.com/comic/king-of-swords-10-172/
• https://killsixbilliondemons.com/comic/king-of-swords-10-171/
• https://killsixbilliondemons.com/comic/king-of-swords-10-170/

And she kinda looks tall, for a human, there.

But I also suppose we see White Chain right in front of Allison and she’s definitely shorter now: https://killsixbilliondemons.com/comic/king-of-swords-10-168/

I guess that’s what prompts the most recent page, although in other contexts White Chain looks taller than Nyave at least.

To be fair, Allison is a pretty tall woman to begin with, so perhaps another average-to-tall woman would seem short around her, and Allison might notice more than usual when the first woman to reliably be taller than her from the first day they met is suddenly shorter.

I don’t know why I went on this hunt. Maybe it’s just because I didn’t consider White Chain to be short in her new form myself, so I had to figure out why it was being called out on this page.

Another thought…

…I assumed that Solomon David gave her his key. Barring that, she’s had to fight a few emissaries who’ve decided the way to do “democracy” was to fight her, since she “won” against Solomon David so they felt they “had” to challenge her or something, and she took those emissaries keys.

But you know what might be interesting? If she somehow got her key right from Metatron. Obviously, she refused power from him before–but I can’t help but think 2 Michael and Metatron might have something up their sleeve once she ended up with this human body, even if they might also publicly disavow her horrible, terribly feminine HUMAN form.

I doubt the story will go in that direction…but we do know from the cover of the book that Metatron shows up again.

Oh! Prediction about Cio, maybe…remember Himself? What if HE put her back together? I feel like she and Allison perhaps didn’t fulfill the deal they made with Himself in some technical way, so he’ll come a-knocking sooner or later.

I’ve felt for a while that both Metatron and Himself will be very significant before the end. Metatron is an angel who lies, but by nature of being an angel, I very highly suspect he turns lies into truths. Like, he CANNOT lie–so if he does, it just poofs into being Truth, and changes the world around him. And Himself is a devil…bound up by orderly chains and contracts. Very yin and yang of them, borrowing a bit of the “other” side’s power. (White Chain and Cio do the same…White Chain changes, learns to be deceptive, while Cio needs her chaos tempered by rules and restraint. I also suspect Vigilant Gaze and Princess will do something similar–I think on the front cover of this book, that’s not just Princess, it’s both of them merged together.)
