For comic #2158...
1. Another strip I am thankful was not a weekend cliffhanger. Jeph has really been pushing the envelope for story anticipations this week
2. Art-wise, it was a really good panel-to-panel timeline-progression of Hanners...
- panel #2 - Hanners so deeply reclusive she even hides inside her hair, with only one eye poking out to look at Station.
- panel #3 - Hanners still curled up, but showing her face. Also, deep bags under her eyes.
- panel #4 - Hanners with shortened hair, and being able to sleep restfully
- panel #5 - Hanners roughly before her stalker-introduction into Marten's life. And wearing short-sleeves and skirt.
- panel #7 - present Hanners: short hair, lipstick, piercings, and little black dress.
3. As dramatic, controversial, fan-raging, and just plain sad, as it would be for Hanners to stay up on the E-C space station, I cannot see her doing it, not even for her father if he asked. Staying up in space would be too "safe" for her. Where she would progress far less through her psychological problems, and so easily regress, is very much not the character-type that Hannelore is. Hanners' constant drive to push her limits comes from the kind of chaos you can only find amongst the "earthly" (not just the planet, if you understand my meaning) people she has bonded to through Marten, is what endears her so much to the audience.
4. Either way, someone is going to have a heartbreakingly sad scene. Perhaps Jeph has been playing Mass Effect #3 to its ending(s)...? :cry:
5. All this leads me to believe we are heading for another major weekend cliffhanger or drama event. Which also means "QC in Space, Week Twelve(!)"... :wink:

Prediction:
Thursday will be further exposition.
Friday will be the cliffhanger, but we'll get to SEE Hanners say no. The cliffhanger is how Station will react.
Technetium:
inb4 Station goes full Hal 9000 mode.
Delator:
Regardless of the eventual outcome, I am certain of one thing...
...Hanners should grow her hair long again.
She won't though...long hair is a magnet for dust and parasites. :-P
Welu:
Station's argument is sad but creepy. I understand why he uses the term "puzzle" but it's sort of reminds me of the type of argument in 90's sitcoms where they say, "Yeah, I only tried to change you because my friends bet me to but then I realized you're actually a human who's quite hot with their hair down and glasses off."
