okay, this is curious. The fact that there's a focus on the BAGGAGE instead of the OUTSIDER. Does this mean.... at some point accepting outsiders was seen as acceptable? There's some sort of precedent for it?

Hmmm. He doesn't like the sound of the... rain? Because he was in a box and it was raining?

It's interesting that Coco and the others, ironically, made it rain underwater again, the one place where Qifrey was safe from those memories. Foreshadowing!

Ah, hmm. So he is getting flashbacks from those memories he ought to have lost.

Presumably the memories that were wiped in order to un-tree him at least once.

Popularuggio.

Ah, so he just. He cares too much. Even about someone he sees as annoying.

Olruggio, you're really too pure for this world.

idk if that'll work...........

😂........it worked.

Beldaruit is so supportive.

.....idk if it was... 'the wrong exit' per se...

aaaaand there ya have it folks, check and mate in the friendship department.

I do not envy Beldaruit. He really has it rough.

Kids are so funny. "oh no, the thing I said out loud to him - I didn't want him to know that!"

Olruggio heard "I don't have any memories" and realized immediately (and correctly) that means Qifrey does NOT realize the danger he is to himself.

Qifrey excelled at being a witch because he was tutored by someone absolutely obsessed with spells? He owes it all to Olruggio? Is that what I'm getting????

IS THAT WHY HE SMILES SO MUCH??? OLRUGGIO TAUGHT HIM TO MASK HIS TSUNDERE?????

this crafty little bitch, I love him.

Olruggio, you are gonna be double-traumatized with Qifrey around.....

honestly, well deserved
