Hrm. So, is Santine simply scared of heights, or did she just spot something utterly horrific, like Dominic D'Honaire sunbathing on the top of his villa?

Rather unlikely he'd be sunbathing at night, but you never know.

She didn't seem scared of heights when she was stuck in that tree. Maybe she spotted one of those criminals Marie says the neighbors string up on lampposts?

Ghostsight?

No...that'd be Fred, wouldn't it. Curious.

Ah, fear of heights.

And the whippoorwill! Always exciting when it makes an appearance. ;) I like the intense detail of the bird compared to the more sparse people and buildings; it's a nice way of focusing the viewer on the bird.

Does anyone else find something subtly unnerving about the Whippoorwill's markings, or am I just paranoid?

Good catch. Them is skulls, them is.

Or masks, as in "City of Masks".

Could be, but the whippoorwill is traditionally associated with death, not deception (if it were a cuckoo, on the other hand...)

Plus, masks don't usually have nose-holes like that.

Masks could have mouth-holes, though. And we've already seen that there's a duplicate about. But I suppose we'll just have to wait and see what happens next...

Holy crapola - RUN AWAY, RUN AWAY!!!
Delight is to him- a far, far upward, and inward delight- who against the proud gods and commodores of this earth, ever stands forth his own inexorable self.
