Wow! That burning lobby! These are some especially awesome fire effects! The hospital went down in flames faster than I thought but if the fire brigade is any responsive then Dylan better really run!
Things started with deaths in the hospital and are going to end with the whole place burning down. Huh.
I mean, given that they used gasoline as an accelerant and they started on the lowest floor, this isn't unrealistic. There's plenty of holes in the place for a nice rush of oxygen too. Once a fire like this gets going it tends to be ridiculously quick
Ah FUCK I didn’t realize it was Wednesday and my heart was NOT prepared for this
The speech was a good choice. Given that Mal has been such a central force in this story (although a negative one), he deserved a proper sendoff. And that last line - damn. There’s something painful in the fact that Dylan’s face was one of the last Malachy saw alive and now it’s going to be the last he sees on this plane of existence. Maaan, I know he was a terrible bastard but my heart aches for him.
You feel for Malachy with good reason, he was a victim of medical malpractice before he turned into a homicidal ghost. Sure, he might have been a jerk to Dylan and Jerry, but even then he was in pain and apparently abandoned by everyone except his little brother. He deserves a peaceful afterlife and a good send off, regardless of the harm he's caused since becoming a ghost.
I don't know if malachy should really be sympathetic or not, he does have a horrible past and he's kind of lost his mind now, but he does explicitly get joy out of torturing and killing teenagers so
Malachy consigned to oblivion is probably best for everyone

It would have felt unfair not to let malachy have a parting speech but I still wonder if this scene wouldn't have been nicer in silence

An epic parting speech? So next page he'll mention the Tannhäuser Gate??

Thanks!
Honestly, I don't know how fast a fire burns, but it's meant to be going really quickly because Malachy's encouraging it

I like the parting speech, I think it adds to the sadness he feels.
