Author's Notes:

Thanks for your patience! Caytlin had to deal with some health issues and then a family emergency, so it took a little longer than we wanted to get this done.

Caytlin: Man, I have been waiting for TEN YEARS to get to this reveal. Ari and I have been vibrating with excitement to get these pages out. I'm so stoked! I hope you guys enjoy it too!

Ari: I remember when I first joined the Tamberlane team back in 2020 and got a chance to learn what plans Caytlin had in mind for later chapters, and the idea that there were strong sci-fi elements simmering underneath the fantastical veneer of the story was something I was SO excited to finally reveal in the comic. I'm so excited to finally be here! Also, poor Kira. She's been through a lot.

OFF-SCREEN: What'd you see?!
KIRA: ...the brightest light in the world.
KIRA: So bright I could barely see nuffin'.

STRANGE CREATURE #1: STAND DOWN!
STRANGE CREATURE #1: WHERE'S THE KIT?!
PAPA: She's DEAD, asshole!
PAPA: She DROWNED!
STRANGE CREATURE #2: Witnesses neutralized for processing sir.

KIRA: But I did see creatures, I think. In weird shiny clothes, like armor or somethin'.
KIRA: I dunno what it was. They had lines all over 'em, but they was lit up like a lamp. Never saw nothin' like it.

PIPER: What... What happened then?

KIRA: You already know what happened then.
KIRA: Everyone knows.

Page 481

KIRA: Anyway.
KIRA: I ran and ran and ran into the trees and I never looked back no more.

PIPER: So that's how you came to Treehollow!
KIRA: After a long time.

KIRA: But I lived in the woods, first.

KIRA: Til I knew they weren't gonna find me too.

Page 482

KIRA: When I did finally wind up in Treehollow, they wanted to know where I was from. But I didn't want to say.

KIRA: My first foster mum, Miss West... I trusted her with my secret.
KIRA: Just a bit of it.

KIRA: I told her in secret that my mum and dad got kilt runnin' away from Abroad.

KIRA: And she told everyone.

KIRA: So I never told nobody anything else about it, cuz if they knew, if any of them knew I was there, they'd send me back.
KIRA: I en't never goin' back there.

KIRA: **And neither are you.**

PIPER: W-wait! Does...
PIPER: Does this mean you're... **Tainted?**

KIRA: If I'm Tainted, then I guess you all are too.

CUR: You coulda told me.

KIRA: Well.
KIRA: 'Slike you said.
KIRA: We en't family.

KIRA: And if either of you tell anybody about this, I'll rip your throat out.
