CLAMP - xxxHolic, ch. 156

[oyceter]

I am too confused to even post about Tsubasa ch. 188!

Spoilers for xxxHolic and Tsubasa through 188

Kohane had a feather all this time? Except... how long as she been seeing things? It sounded like all her power was from the feather, so even though Yuuko said that the payment was too much, she did take Kohane's power? Or did she only take the feather, which only took part of Kohane's power?

And clearly time does not go at the same speed in different worlds, assuming that time travel (!!!) is not involved.

Also, as she seems to be Watanuki's double, does this mean Watanuki's wish will be fulfilled by releasing the last of Sakura's feathers?

Also also, what does it even mean, to finally get the feathers back, since they're clone!Sakura's memories? Or are they still original!Sakura's memories?

I also reread the prologue, and it is exactly like clone!Sakura and original!Syaoran clinging together before she's revealed to be a clone, test tube and everything! Who knows what it means? But in it, she sprouts tragic wings and is torn away! Is that Fei Wang Reed taking away original!Sakura?

Geez, I didn't even think of the timeline issue, I was too busy going "Sakura's feather??? Bzuh???" I guess this will require rereading.

But I am so glad for Kohane that UnSyaoran did not make it to xxxHolic-world!!!

I know! Me too! Now I want to know what Yuuko will do with the feather...

I was pretty gobsmacked, too. (I know next to nothing of TRC except what some reviews I've read and a couple episodes of the anime.) I didn't realise they were still collecting feathers. I thought they'd moved on from that.

Also, not enough spaz! in this chapter. :(

I... have no idea what they're doing in TRC now! I haven't seen feathers for a while!
