You have no idea how to rule. What orders could there possibly be to give anyway? All you want to do is deliver mail.

Chess jokes aside, we really don't understand why WQ is abdicating to PM. There isn't even a kingdom anymore, a fact which PM - who doesn't even want the crown - seems keenly aware of.

Is there, perhaps, some material effect to this decision? Does the reigning Queen of Prospit have some sort of special ability, completely unconnected to her Ring?

Your new ruler seems upset. You understand it is not easy being in a position of authority.

There's a bit of a question mark over this statement, too. Does PM really have any meaningful authority over the trigger-happy AR, or the famously anti-monarchist WV?

She should understand that a queen is the sum of her decisions, not her fashion accessories. And no queen makes decisions alone. All wise rulers surround themselves with trusted advisors. The new queen should understand she has friends to help her.

The Black Queen seemed to be an absolute monarch, unilaterally abusing her authority to torment Jack Noir.

WQ, however, seems to have other ideas. Perhaps this new Carapacian society will be a little less authoritarian.

Her Grandpa's baggage has been cleared away, and the ghost of her dream self is no longer haunting the foyer. Time to start afresh!

JADE: what happened in here? JADE: where is everything? all the globes and houseguests… JADE: and the cruxtruder???

For a second, I thought Jade had just been locked out of alchemy - but John can just deploy another, can't he?

...I assume she won't get a second Kernelsprite out of it, but I'm surprised the possibility didn't occur to me earlier in the story.

JADE: has someone been a bad dog?? JADE: wait never mind, please dont answer that!!!!

Why can't Bec talk, anyway? Animal Sprites usually can, and Scratch is proof that First Guardians are capable of communication.

...although, the one time that Scratch got emotional, his text was immediately corrupted by Green Sun energy. Maybe Bec is trying to speak normally, but his intense doggy emotions are supercharging all his words.

You return to find your beautiful atrium in ruins.

Hey, there’s an aircraft carrier….

             ….right behind us!

PHILIPPINE SEA (September 22, 2020) -- United States Navy nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) makes her approach to going close-alongside Military Sealift Command fleet replenishment oiler USNS Tippecanoe (T-AO 199) in preparation for a refueling (especially for the carrier’s dozens of thirsty fighter jets)/resupply (UNREP) evolution.

By the third photo above, the supercarrier is settled alongside the oiler -- on identical courses and speeds, 150-200 feet (45-60 meters) apart -- for the next several hours, as twilight, and soon darkness of night, descends on the gentle tropical seas and skies.
