Well that took a dark turn
Oh hey I'm still alive
HiFranc:
That puts the time she accompanied Faye to liquor store and afterwards in a new light.
TinPenguin:
Those last two panels - is that a yes or a no, do you reckon?
BenRG:
I suspect it is an unspoken "no, for now" response. However, if I were Corpse Witch, I wouldn't be too smug. Something tells me that Bubbles may be thinking very, very hard about just how important those memories and controlling them are to her compared to the new connections she's made in the wider world. She may yet decide that it is a risk that she's willing to take.
The thing is that Corpse Witch has demonstrated that she is strongly anthrophobic(1). It is quite possible that she literally can't imagine a human becoming Bubbles's true friend and, therefore, is incapable of predicting the influence Faye and, to a much lesser extent, Hannelore and Claire, might have on Bubbles's decision-making processes.
-------------------
(1) In this context, 'anthrophobic' refers to bigotry expressed as suspicion and fear directed at humans by a synthetic. Corpse Witch has used what could be described as hate-speech about humans, particularly Faye but also as a generic stereotype, on at least two occasions before today.

Whatever it is, that smug smile is gone from CW's face. She's no longer confident that she's in control, no longer sure how things will go.
This makes me happy.
