[SPOILER] H. T. writes: Oh, oh, did anyone else have an _Alice in Wonderland_ sense at Zerika’s characterization in the Paths, it made me feel like when Alice is walking around Wonderland right before she meets the Cheshire cat... odd sensation... Heh heh. I had this exact impression as well. What will become of our dear friend Pel, will he turn like a Yendi from Kana and follow Zerika, or will he just like a Yendi defy the Empire? What are his true intentions? I would never imagine that a Yendi would openly defy anyone. That would be un-Yendilike. rone -- New from the makers of Li'l Swimmers: Li'l Eaters.
