Oh, the many times I have had the exact thing happen to me… LoL
What has been interesting is my subconscious seems to be keeping perfect track of what’s happening around me.
I read a very good description of the subconscious recently…
“Your conscious is what you believe you can do.
you subconscious is what you can do… when you forget your self-imposed limits”
Oh, yes, indeed. I’ve come to appreciate this a lot, over the course of the last 50-some years of writing computer software.
On the one hand, I’ve learned that if I’m stuck when debugging a problem… tried everything I can think of, and not managed to track down the problem… then the best thing to do is walk away from it for a while. Don’t think about it. Go have a meal, take a walk or bike ride, watch a movie, listen to music, go to bed for the night… let the “subconscious” background processing chew on the problem by itself. Odds are, out of nowhere, the correct answer will pop into my head and I’ll see where the problem is… usually not where i was looking for it to be.
That’s the good part.
The bad part is that I usually have to call myself an idiot for (1) overlooking that particular factor in the first place and writing the code wrongly, and (2) taking so long to see my own error.
Item (2) is what I see in the second frame here… the “how could I have been so blind?!?” grimace. Been there, done that, got the facial wrinkles.
Based on the strip title, I interpret this as her reacting to the fact that she just “saw” something that she feels should have been blindingly obvious to her a lot sooner. She’s pissed off at herself for not realizing it before.
What that thing is… it might be something about Castela’s words and feelings. Or, it might be something about why the Adults seem to be stalling her experiment.
Or it might be something in the scientific work on the barrier. Maybe a safer way to test, or some factor that she just realized was right in front of her…
Well, I guess that says it!

Well back to the dirt pile…
Ohhh-kay. I’ve had this reaction, but, call me dumb, I don’t quite see what Scarlet is reacting TO. No doubt it will become clear in the next comic…
I’d be willing to bet that she’s just realized how she could hurt Castela in spite of being “harmless in comparison.”

She’s going to go run the test, isn’t she? There’s no possible way that could go wrong….
She didn’t notice something when Cass was talking to her.
Cass was *stammering.*
That’s red-alert warning klaxons that something’s wrong with Cass.
