Local ferret saves the day by talking about feelings.

Seriously? I know it's not really one of the rules, but it's basically a corollary: Never absorb a guilty feeling bigger than your own ego.

Evil Overlord List 22a.

Nega goes from purple to blues
As Keene talks for his life;
convincing, without trying,
him to take on guilt's strife.
It's worse than you can ever expect;
the dark warrior of good;
laying seige on the darkest actions;
making you think you never should.
It's a different style of fighting,
in which the victor is defeated.
Now, though, we mustn't assume
the danger has retreated...

Pretty sure Negabreel forgot to read that before he decided on his plan.

An evil being ought to be more aware of such complications. Oh, well ... craftiness is not necessarily a component of intelligence. Besides, these sudden feelings of remorse may just save Keene from evisceration.

Green and purple are interesting color mixes, aren't they? Ray Stevens wrote a little song once about a marching band with green and purple uniforms and another on about green and purple aspirin. Gotta stop writing before second cup of coffee ....

That’s one of the reasons psychopaths can do the evil things they do. They have no remorse. They just don’t care. So good on Keene for recognizing that feelings of guilt is what will turn this around. Also good idea to ignore morality, since, as I said before, morality is relative and a social construct. Whether there is anything like absolute morality is an interesting debate for philosophers, but won’t help Keene!

Awesome poem Welsh Halfwit!

Did negabreel admit to killing someone when they were one, or am I reading too much into it?

I think Nega was a touch arrogant. He might’ve been smart but his overconfidence got the better of him. It was a cunning move by Keene. Thankfully, it seems to have worked. Hopefully.

Yeah, morality is an a lot complicated stuff to explain, much more than the previous one about eating meat. It's about feelings, indeed, those who NegaBreel hasn't... But, just a while ago Keene said that combining with Breel will bring you regretting feelings, how can you don't understand that's the same meaning also for guilty ones? They're pretty much the same thing, then. Oh, Keene didn't really challenged you to taste some of those feelings, NegaBreel, but this sort of unintentional trap worked! Nope, no more evil deeds for you. Maybe he became a little good now, Breel, but also seems it put him upside-down. Come on, now free them.

I wouldn't mind if NegaBreel ended up writing a song about his new feelings. That should be fine. I mean Taylor Swift does it all the time.

Wow, Keene's really smart!

(Cue Sheldon going "you say that like it's surprising")

Great lighting on panel 5.

Since Nega Breel now has eyes here, I wonder if he swapped his with actual Breel?

Just gonna wait to see on this one. Don't wanna say we're in the clear with Negabreel yet. He didn't absorb like all of the guilt as far as I can tell.

Ummmm.... And BREEL'S eyes are..?

Just gonna sit back and watch to see what goes on. When Keene looks over at Breel will he freak out because he has Nega's eyes now? That would be fun. LOL

So ... will negabreel now go all the way and combine himself with Breel to cope with the feelings? I suspect he will. Personally, I can't wait to see the true complex Breel.

I wanna see if the complex Breel who is the real Breel will still have feelings for Keene. That is definitely gonna be interesting to see.

Am I the only one who thinks Negabreel might just have an unexpected hearbeat?

Good question - the internal anatomies of Infernals (and celestials, for that matter) appears to be unexplored territory.

It will be really hilarious to see how he reacts. Breel nearly seizures when he felt his for the first time in forever.
