CLAMP - xxxHolic, ch. 135-143

I am so confused! Also, now I remember why I hate reading things chapter by chapter. I notoriously suck at tracking plot just through a normal book, much less when I have to figure out what's going on in between releases. Thankfully, I am rereading as I buy the official translations, so that's helping.

Between this and The Wee Free Men, I think I have had enough dream sequences to confuse me for the next month or so! Thank goodness rilina has been writing things up. Also, my current speculation is that Watanuki's accidental slips into the dreamworld are because of all the worlds starting to blend together, or boundaries falling down, or something ominous like that.

I'm wondering if all the butterflies surrounding Watanuki's sickbed (sickfuton?) are significant, and how, and! Sakura brings up her and Syaoran's shared birthday! I'm also trying to guess at what will happen with regard to Yuuko's own wish; possibly that will be how the series wraps up?

Also, can I whap Kohane's mom? Please?

I can't imagine that the butterflies aren't signifcant, especially because of the story that Haruka told about the boy and the butterfly.

I love the sense that both this and TRC are moving towards their endgames.

I am sure you are unsurprised to hear that I have completely forgotten about Haruka's butterfly story!

On the plus side, this makes rereading the official releases pretty fun, as it's like reading it for the first time for me!

I'd entirely forgot that story too, if it's any consolation.
