I definitely know what you mean about being weighed down. Shit has gotten TOO REAL.

I don't really see things as being Anthony doing mind control, I think he's just exposing Annie to more stress than she can deal with right now. I guess we'll see. I do know that he's the worst and I want to poke him in the back of the head at all times.

Also I've said it before but I basically hadn't been reading the comic for several years and went on an archives binge RIGHT BEFORE this chapter started (seriously, the first page of the chapter was the most recent page when I finished reading through), and I don't know whether that's a good or a bad thing.
