TA: terezi? GC: F1N4LLY!!! GC: 1 W4S ST4RT1NG TO TH1NK 1 W4S TH3 L4ST ON3 OF US 4L1V3 GC: H4V3 YOU S33N K4RK4T? TA: n0.

Here's Sollux, back in the land of the living - but he's switched to Aradia's quirk, which I thought was symbolic of the 'emptiness' she felt as a ghost.

Maybe he's using it because his psychic energy has been 'emptied out' of his body?

...nah, that's a bit of a stretch. I don't have a clue what's going on with him. Is he being possessed by Aradia?

TA: but i've sure as hell heard him. GC: WH4T DO3S TH4T M34N?? GC: 4ND WHY 4R3 YOU TYP1NG L1K3 TH1S, 1TS V3RY ODD >:? TA: it means that i'm blind n0w.

It has come to pass.

Sollux's psionics do seem to be focused through his eyes. Shorting them out must also have shorted out his... vision....

Hang on. Did Sollux predict he was doing to die after going blind? As in, he still has to die a second time?

But thought he already did die twice! First, his realself died to the Glub, causing him to inhabit his Derse body permanently - and then, his Prospit body was presumably killed during Jack's rampage.

Is Prospit Sollux actually still alive, then? The guy is powerful, but I don't see how he could have survived against Jack - plus, if Sollux was sneaking around outside the Veil, I think we'd know about it.

I guess Dream Selves don't count as 'real' deaths for the purposes of his prophecy, and it has to be his current 'main' body that dies. That really sucks, because I think it seals his fate.

I thought Sollux had a free pass to the end of the comic, but he's actually on his last life, with another death on the way. This shit is anti-Gemini propaganda!

TA: kk kn0cked 0ut all my teeth like s0me kind of grubfisted d0uche. [...] TA: seems like he wants t0 talk t0 y0u. TA: but i was h0ping t0 talk with y0u a bit first, h0pe y0u d0n't mind. TA: i mean, i kn0w he minds, but he can sm00ch my bl00dy, gummy m0uth right 0n the lisp f0r all i care. TA: i mean lips! that's what i mean t0 say, n0w that i can. TA: lips, lips, lipsssss. w0w, it feels s0 great t0 say that w0rd!

So, wait. Sollux is using voice-to-text right now, and his speech recognition program is detecting the lack of a lisp. Makes sense, I guess - but what about the zeroes? Where are they coming from?
