Seb: Once again, 'wordily' establishing a lot in a small space. I really enjoyed writing the dialogue for the Ancient. Will we see more of Clockwork and what becomes of him after his mentor's death? If I'm assigned to write again in this or any future season, you can bet that I'm going to push for it. ;)

Abt: Again, I don't clearly remember which parts I wrote here, but I think I wrote the news report part about Watchman's death, and also Clockwork's & Change's lines. For Change, the only good bomb is a detonated bomb… In any case, this was one of the pages I was most involved in, I think. For this chapter, I think I pretty much wrote the first two and the last two pages, and the middle section was a rough description which I left for Sebastian to work out ^_^ (and, as he said, he wrote The Ancient's dialogue here). Also, I love how fukujinzuke visualized this scene.
Fun fact: Watchman's death is a bit of a homage to what happens to Montblanc, the swiss robot hero in Naoki Urasawa's retelling of the classic "The Greatest Robot On Earth" storyline from Astro Boy (or Tetsuwan Atom). I recommend getting the manga called "Pluto".
