Oh, dear. I feel a "if you love them, let them go" moment coming on.

Love is meaningless in the face of what the natural order of things has wrought.

I see alcohol in Ronson's future.

Interesting debate in the comics about what Emily really means, and what this all means for us as readers. Either way, though, it's heartbreaking watching Ronson lose her again.

Sijo: Faith. She's got it and it's never a convincing answer to anyone who doesn't. This is a big part of why Ronson's hurt about what has happened.

be interesting to find out what happens but if she can sever her ties so easily than she never truly cared for ronson in the first place? am i right?

In reply to Darius Drake : I, too, understood her words in that way. And I don't buy that. Still, it's indeed her choice to make. In reply to Sijo : You are right. There are just too many gods in that story (talking planet included) for us to easily acknowledge a divine law.

Claremont is surprisingly calm to see his sister again.

Sijo at 7:02AM, June 16, 2009

The problem here (for Ronson, and us readers) is that we already know Heaven is fake- unless the TRUE heaven lies beyond the Light, which seems to be the idea here. But how does Emily know it? How can she (and the author) explain it in a convincing way? It's interesting, but frustrating.

Darius Drake at 4:31AM, June 16, 2009

I don't. I think that she has felt something akin to absolute perfection, and is saying that Ronson would doesn't have the right to keep that from her, as well as the fact that it showed her things like what is right and what is wrong with living past your death.

I don't know if that's the will of the author, but I really don't feel like trusting Emily on whatever she could say. And I agree with the previous comment.
