Allison’s face in the last panel on the 2nd page is her Aesma face. She’s totally going to DO something about this situation.

The first panel in the second row–I love that Allison is “allowed” to be ugly. Like, the double-chin hangover-bleary look isn’t good on ANYONE, but Abbadon doesn’t sanitize it away. Allison has her moments when she’s beautiful and vibrant–and she also has her moments where she looks like THIS.

It’s awesome.

Looking back at the drinking contest page, where we see a lot of pale devils, they’re actually wearing white masks: https://killsixbilliondemons.com/comic/wielder-of-names-2-25-challenger/

But on the page above, other than the tiny blue shard, that devil is without a mask, and unlike Vladok/Princess when they are unbound, is pale in color.

My suspicion is that if angels like White Chain grow in wisdom by adopting a bit of chaos/change, then devils grow when they adopt a bit of order. Cio’s pale form here might be why she’s able to manifest without a mask at all…she retains enough order on her own to do so, and orderly things tend to be pale-colored.

I wonder if, within his box, Himself is also un-masked.
