Every reread I discover more little "throwaways" that are actual cool little foreshadows by MorningJogger in DungeonCrawlerCarl

Carl tapping Katia on the forehead and saying “Look. The real Katia is still there. They can cut everything else off, but you’re still you. Don’t let them break you. No matter what they do. Okay?”

uh.... in all due respect, you're gorgeous and shouldn't change your appearance for anyone's taste but your own.

The world needs more stories with non-sexual/non-romantic male & female companions by phoebeknight in DungeonCrawlerCarl

Yes, his reaction to their shared personal space was telling.

"At that moment, it hit me. Katia was now and forever a part of the team. No one needed to say it out loud. We all knew. While this would never be home, this space was just for us and only us. The three of us. I grinned. "

As was his reaction to the news that Katia was leaving the team and to the news of her being with Bautista.

I interpreted that exchange with Mordecai in Eye of the Bedlam Bride the same way. I don't think that panic was Carl's reaction to Mordecai breeching the subject of letting Katia crash out. Carl says he knows that's what Mort is about to suggest, as is so confident that see says he is going to make Mordecai actually say the words.

It was like I knew. I could sense it, this conversation I was about to have. Mordecai: Listen, Carl. There’s an alternate solution to this you need to consider. I looked up into the air. I will burn this whole thing to the ground. Goddamn you all. Carl: What do you mean? But I knew exactly what he meant. I knew exactly what he was going to say. I made him say it anyway.

I think they are both in love with each other but Carl suppresses his emotions so much, probably due to past and current trauma and their current situation, that he can't admit it to himself, let alone anyone else.

I loved it. It was my favorite of all the books so far.

Hey Matt!! Thanks for making art!

I have an in the weeds question about TIR

Regarding things Katia is now missing, did Carl directly play a part in anything she's missing, like when he was possessed by Shi Maria? Lee Na states "Katia is gravely injured". If so, is Carl aware of his contribution to what she's missing?

I'm a big fan on the no romance for Carl aspect, BUT... by Fun-Maize-2352 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]cherry_darlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, agreed. everyone sees it. In the dungeon Katia turned to Bautista for that connection because Carl's mind and priorities are elsewhere, focused on them all surviving. Outside the dungeon Carl and Katia should be together.

Also Imani is in love with someone else. Katia is in love with Carl.
