One Step Up and Two Steps Back
One would think that our party might catch a break after leaving town. But, instead they are attacked by an unusual assasin, which causes a crisis for Pacifica's friend Leopold, and reunites her with the man who first tried to kill her as a baby. Later, an abandoned girl attaches herself to Shannon, ultimately resulting in tension and heartbreak amoung the siblings. More clues are provided as to the truth of what's happening, and Shannon gains a powerful ally(?) as this unusual story moves forward.There's alot more going on here than is evident at first glance, and the writers are careful to build things slowly. As before, the animation is superb, and the whole thing works very well from a technical standpoint, though I find myself relying on the captions instead of the recorded dialogue. It's a small price to pay for a great story.
