    Okay, I guess that answers one thing – the ghost isn’t Timothy…

      What’s more, I got the idea that the ghost left because Timmy came in the room. Is Timmy some sort of ghost repellent? Or does this specific ghost want to avoid him? Is there some connection between Timmy and this specific ghost?

        maybe the ghost just doesn’t like coffee?

        Last week I was guessing that they were related. Probably an elder brother, cousin, or uncle.

        And now I’m guessing Scarlett thought she was talking to Timothy.

    Or is it even a ghost? The EMF readings suggest so, but I’ve been wondering if Scarlet was having a conversation with some sort of imaginary Timmy doppelganger, sort of mentally hashing out her concerns.

      My question would be if Daylla and Castela could hear the ghost, too?

    Maybe a future Timothy?

      I don’t think Timothy is ever going to be that tall.

    I think she thought she was talking to Tim. I think the ghost was messing with her. Not totally sure. Will know more… Next Time.

      I concur. The ghost might in fact be “looking for fun too”.

      Personally, I had this thought over the weekend, but thought it would’ve been lost in the flood.

      I missed that idea, but it makes appt of sense. In that case she did not believe in ghosts, until now that is.

        Alot of sense. I hate auto correct sometimes.

    Maybe Tim dampens her ability to talk to them thus she likes being around him for protection…?

    At least that’s what I get out of this.

    Y’know, I’d’a gotten scalped if I tried to drink coffee at their age. Different times, I guess.

      I did try coffee around that age . . . my dad’s coffee . . . which is why I don’t drink the nasty stuff.

        By the time you add the flavorings and sugar that are in that can, it’s basically a semi-grown-up milkshake.

        When I was a kid, coffee had to be brewed or bought at a donut shop or out of one of those leaky machines.

      I used to buy coffee sweets from the school shop. And my dad gave us kids sweet black coffee in the morning to get us up for school. Maybe that was just a malaysian thing…

      They’re in Japan, they have coffee, *coffee*, and COFFEE in just about every vending machine and combini with no age restrictions. Some of them are very mild and sweet, some of them are good for treating cardiac arrest.

        Is it in Japan? We know the college that Atsali’s going to is, but this is a different school.

        I assumed it was, I don’t know of any vending machines in the US that have cans of coffee.

      why? a cup of coffee is a better treatment for ADHD than a rittalin pill

      My grandfather used to give us “Kid Coffee” which was a half cup of coffee and a quarter cup of Milnot condensed milk. This was when I was 7 or so. My kids got the same deal. 🙂 Warm memories of getting up with him and having a cup of Kid Coffee with him before he went off to the coal mine.

      I first tried coffee around age 6 or 7. I needed less sugar in it than one of my dad’s friends, but he used to go about half and half, as in half a cup of sugar cubes and pour coffee on top.

    Are we sure the EMF spike wasn’t from the innards of the vending machine? The detectors are very sensitive, so as to get lots of false positives.

    hmm, so either that was a ghost crushing on Scarlet that ran away with Timothy came in, some kind of future sight Timothy, a ghost pretending to be Timothy or … well any other guesses are as good as the rest I suppose. to Jeff Weiner I doubt if that was a real thing the other girls heard it, they might not have heard Scarlet talking either depending on what kind of conversation that was. ~<3

    Maybe Scarlet is just a sensitive (possible unaware) and she was just relaxed enough at the moment to be in communication with her “friend”. Timothy speaking to her brought he back to Earth and broke the trance.

    I think she thought that the voice behind her was Timothy, and that look in the last panel is her realizing it wasn’t.

    Well the EM field dropped with Scarlet’s concentration/focus/frustration with her friends. Congratulations Scarlet, you’re a medium who can interact with records that cause “ghosts”.

    Sounds like the vending machine has some EMF shielding issues.

    I wish i could see under Tim’s thumb… to me it looks like he bought Scarlet a can of “Hick Brew” coffee… vanilla flavored…

      No, High Brew Coffee. Found pictures of it in a search right off.

    I see two possibilities.
    1. She thougt Tim was speaking with her until he came with the coffee and is creeped out now
    2. One reason she likes Tim so much is because she is more alone when Tim is around.
