This car is going off a cliff... isn't it?

"I have never been unfaithful" its a statement not a question

Nothing more upsetting to a little kid, than to see mom and dad fighting; especially in disparaging ways.

My guts are telling me this argument continues all the way home, and that the kids see it all.

I feel this page just proves what I was saying last page about the mom being unnecessarily jealous. Keith didn’t break up with Jayden because he knocked up the mom and yet she’s still worried about him cheating on her.

I wonder if that will be the reason for the divorce.

It be pretty crazy if they got in a car accident and that’s why mom isn't present anymore and how Keith got a piece of his ear missing

While Keith would still be culpable if he did cheat after this discussion, the mom is totally setting up a self-fulfilling prophesy by making herself and their relationship toxic. Keith will either need to bottle his emotions or confide in a friend rather than the problematic spouse. Either way it's looking like a rolling snowball.

If her concern is currently warranted, this approach is still a really detrimental way to go about inquiring and remedying the alleged problem.

Interesting how Keith seemed unlikable at first but now looks like a fan favorite. Excited to see how it unfolds.

Oh boy. Here we go. Cliche town, next exit!

Keith this whole time has had his focus on the road. Sure would be a shame if he somehow didn't see any incoming danger. Those roads in {ambiguous location} can be really concealing of dangerous drivers.

No! Oh shit, I know how this goes! Keith isn't missing an ear here. Serah implies that she made her mother go away. Unnamed Lynx Mom is being a crazy jealous bitch.

This isn't an incoming car crash. They get home, something tilts lynx mom into psycho mode, she gets a knife, Keith loses an ear in whatever struggle happens, Serah calls the cops.

I'm putting down money. I don't think Black-Kitten is going to go for obvious low hanging fruit here.

I'm sensing that we're currently on the verge of a devastating car accident.

I swear, if I see one more "What if this is a car crash!" comment as if not one single person has read that same thing 50 times now over the last few pages... YES. We get it. It could be a car crash, can we stop beating the horse now, it be well and truly dead.

I kinda started thinking about the whole car crashing thing after a bit of post-nut clarity. I would agree and disagree. On one hand, if it were to go off somewhere, it would make sense on why Keith drives a truck Keith instead of the car. It would have totalled that night. It would also help show why part of his tail and right ear, I think, are missing.

On the other hand, it is still possible that their mother, Bethany I think, took the car and left, maybe not saying anything to the kids.

But, it still doesn't explain the scarring. Which leads to a new question, or questions, on the whole car crash: where is the scarring on the kids and how did the wreck really happen. It has to be reasonable for their mother to die and Keith to be extremely, if not, almost fatally injured.

I feel like I can point it down to maybe a few small details that could entail a car wreck.

1. The car was hit on the right side, where the mother is, and instantly stopped. Something impales here and leaves her bleeding out in front of them.

2. An car starts to swerve, a drunk driver maybe, and either makes them swerve or hits them. The mother goes into the hospital and dies on the bed leaving Keith stuck with a partial ear and tail.

I started thinking more and didn't come up with anything. However, the more I thought about it, the more interested i was in finding out how Keith got the partial ear and tail. A few hypotheses came up.

1. He owed debt to someone and that was some kind of payment, highly doubtful.

2. The mother cut the ever loving shit out of him and then left.

There is no substantial evidence to prove my claims on these. In these circumstances, it seems almost fair Keith never brings the mother up because of domestic abuse and always tries to pick another way to answer. Maybe give the good side and leave the bad out so the kids don't think she was crazy.

That's enough of my TedTalk. Thank you all for reading this and I hope to see your opinions here, as well.

It could be also that she's projecting her cheating attitude onto him. And soon we'll find out that one of the kids is not his...

The more I started reading on this, the more I wondered, why would the mother feel this way? Was there another relationship she was in before that was very bad, maybe abusive or, was this how she felt her entire life. There is a second option in which Keith is a total dick and has been seeing her. But, it just doesn't seem that way. Thinking about when the two went out for the date and sebastian got money from Keith. Keith said that he wanted Sebastian to be a better person than he was. Which then got me wondering EVEN more. What was so wrong with Keith that made him always look depressed when he wasn't around the kids? I know it's a front for the kids. But, there is a more concerning look we saw Friday. Now that I had started to reread the series for the fifth time, I now get the realization the Keith is hiding more then we might actually think. He never said the their mother was "The One". But, that almost feels like he's saying that he did something that came with consequences, something he talked about in the two pages before. I do wonder why he still had a picture of Jayden in the truck. It may be possible it was after the incident that has yet been revealed to us.

(Side note: this is a tangent I was running through my mind. I am full of green tea and needed to use my mind before school. Kinda feels ironic. Doubt it. Anyways, back to fast brain.)

If Keith and Jayden dated, why did they break up? If Keith is hiding something. Then, that would most likely lead to the birth of the kids. Remember, the two were married after the two were born, around the age of five, as well. It would be possible that the two met after Keith broke up with Jayden and decided to not "Wear protection" and think it would still be safe. Which gives us our two main characters and the left over feelings from Keith FOR Jayden.

I still wonder what happened to the mother and what the full backstory was for her and Keith. But, that's another caffeinated rant for another day. Still sucks I have school in another two hours.

It would be probable if we look back at the pictures. The mother has darker fur than the other three. However, just because she is darker furred and the others aren't doesn't mean the genes she has didn't carry over. It could still be possible that if the two had kids, the child could have dark fur. Funnily enough, that would be an interesting plot twist later on in their life sparking what would seem to be a time where history would repeat itself.

Yea she's definitely in the wrong side

This will probably eventually come true. If someone is constantly accusing you of something and living like you're guilty of it when you're not, eventually you'll say "Fuck it, I'm gonna do it cuz she treats me like I do anyway."

Getting strong vibes mom gets Disneyed in a car wreck

Suure, just scream and yell at each other in front of the kids, real classy. Sure hope this doesn't cause permanent emotional damage. This is making me narrow my eyes.

Working relations when you find your spouce is talking to an ex is one thing, this just might end up gerting worse. I also see an accident happining.

Oh no it's worse than I feared. This is jealously that's making Bethany go nuts on Keith. But now I wonder about what Keith meant by when he was talking to his son about not treating her right?

cyclone said:

yup, feel the exact same here, way too jealous, even taking it in front of Serah (and probably Seb, tho we don't see him here yet, maybe he's sleeping, and so does not remember as much?) to the point it will only create even more trouble down the line

from what we see so far, Keith was upfront and explained things to her more than once, his past relationship with Jayden, that they broke up some time ago, yet she still believes he goes around and cheats on her with her, yeeeah, that's not even jealousy at this point, but full on obsession and possessiveness here, would not be surprised she snaps after seeing old pics, letters or what, like highschool pictures, but would not believe anything he would have to say to explain the situation

most likely a stretch here, but, anyone remember Jayden saying she was disowned due to her promoscuity? what if i was all made up by mom in a jealous rage fit? just like Keith got his ear partly cut? somehow, i could see something like this happening down the line

Suffocating family dispute.

Saw the same thing in the cooments for Sheath and Knife about it all being a dream, and they ended up being right.

I'm all for defending the guy in situations like this, but I really don't think we know enough about their relationship or his relationship with Jayden at this point. Maybe there's more of a reason that the wife is upset about this? Maybe he and Jayden had a very suspicious history together. At this point it really sounds like they may have gotten married just because she got pregnant -- and I can see how that'd brood some rational insecurity. But that's both of their faults for letting themselves be pressured into marrying anyway.
That's why you don't let children define a marriage. It almost always goes to shit that way.

Not siding with anyone, just saying we honestly don't have enough information to start casting blames.
As with almost everything, I'm sure they both had some garbage moments with each-other.

And no, I never bought that car crash shit. That'd be too easy. And absolutely nothing ever alluded to it in the first place.

I find it sad that people are hating on the mom. I do understand where she's coming from, as perhaps she has some personal issues that went on in her life while she was growing up.

You misread. And in any case...

Speech is not under auto-correct or a grading system. We're not in grade school anymore and comics are not essays. Grammatical errors are to be expected as they're spoken quotes. Just like how you wouldn't correct a quote. Like if someone said "I ain't" you wouldn't put it in a report to say "I am not..."

Yeah, this is the sort of thing that really needs to come out early in a relationship. A girlfriend or boyfriend dictating to you who your friends can or can’t be is a huge red flag. Being right in their suspicions of infidelity doesn’t detract from how toxic and abusive that sort of behavior is, it’s just a case of a broken clock being right twice a day.

That's inquisitor reasoning. If you dig for wrongs, you'll find them. Even if they never existed.

Her feelings are valid. But “I don’t ever want you talking to her” is not an adult response in a trusting relationship, especially when you’re in the car with your kids

They're about to pass a stop sign and get hit by oncoming traffic On the passenger side. Most likely the mom didn't make it. And then Sarah wakes up.

So who's the ex, that Zebra lady?

daedius said:

Jayden. Yes it is.

And i feel like people are missing something. Keith's tail was already missing in a family photo shown at the end of Thursday Mornings. however the ear on the only other photo we see of them hides Keith's right ear from view conviniently. Keith's tail is hidden in the picture shot we got of him and Jayden. there's probably a reason for both of those details.

I guess I just read it wrong. My bad.

Its sad but I've seen first hand a lot of women do this. With fear and insecurity, they build up this idea in their head and their emotions just runs a marathon with it in their minds and they never let it go. Actually happened to my best friend a few months back and now they're broken up. Granted not saying guys don't do it too, but this personality pattern is far too common. You can prepare for the worst, but never jump to conclusions or accusations based on how your own imagination makes you feel. Taking your own negative thoughts and filling your relationship with them will never end well for anyone involved.

I still wonder what happened to the mother and what the full backstory was for her and Keith. But, that's another caffeinated rant for another day. Still sucks I have school in another two hours.

I think her worry stems more from the fact that, as Keith has implied earlier in the comic, they were in a bit of a shaky relationship, but then they had the twins and decided to get married. Last page, she even referred to herself as "the girl you just knocked up". So there's always the nagging feeling in the back of her mind like "What if he only stayed with me because of the kids? What if he doesn't actually love me that much?" so then when he mentions he's messaged his ex-girlfriend who just moved back into town, that fear spikes up with jealousy of him, not just as her husband, but as the one helping her support the kids. "admit it, you'd rather be with her, instead of the girl you just knocked up, wouldn't you?" She's scared he cared more about Jayden and is gonna run back to her so that he doesn't have to deal with her and the kids. Divorce can be a hell of a thing to go through, especially considering that even if she gets to keep the house, she might not make enough to be able to cover the bills on her own. In her eyes, Jayden isn't just a potential threat to her love life, part of her mind is screaming at her that this might be a threat to her stability and the well-being of her children. She wants to know where Keith stands on this, because she needs to know if she has to start making preparations to potentially raise her kids on her own with a single-income and whatever money she can get out of child-support, if he actually pays it.
Meanwhile Keith hasn't considered any of that as a possibility she's worried about and is feeling attacked out of nowhere, like he went "My ex was in town and I said hello to be polite, as we're still kind of friends, and I'm being open with you about it so you don't think I'm trying to sneak around behind your back," only to for his wife to immediately be like "WTF why would you DO that!? Are you cheating on me!? Do you love her more than me!? I don't want you talking to her!" which he thinks is just her being an overly possessive bitch and immediately throwing accusations and insulting his integrity and commitment to the relationship, not understanding she's coming from a place of internalized self-doubt, uncertainty of her future, and fear for her children's well-being.
Kind of ironic that the argument she started out of fear of becoming a single mother lead to him becoming a single father.
As for why he's always seemed so guilty and like he's hiding something, he likely feels guilty about what happened to her, blaming himself as the driver, but also having reflected on it enough over the years to have finally understood where she was coming from and realizing how some of his own actions had unintentionally reinforced her fears. Like if he'd been a better husband then she wouldn't have been so worried and they could have avoided the argument. It's survivor's guilt, and probably part of why he still hasn't technically gotten back with Jayden. She was the catalyst of the argument that lead to Bethany's death, and deep down he blames himself for still internally being hung up on her, so he's just had her over for some flings, likely initiated by her, but never introduced her to the kids or told them about his history with her. He knows Serah heard the argument and is likely scared that if she finds out Jayden is the ex-girlfriend they were arguing about, she'll freak out like "You let my mother die over THIS skank!? And then you went back to her!?" and never forgive him, and that Seb would side with his sister and hate him, too.

What an amazing comment. So nice to see people considering both perspectives instead if simply writing Bethany off as toxic and jealous.

What she heard from Keith was that he started talking with his former lover again. She likely interpreted it as "you're not performing well so I might as well replace you" kind of message.

This is how my former partner used to communicate, they would mention themself flirting with other men at the start and near the end of our relationship. I ignored it both times because I refused to believe things were going south. But they were.
