That was the most linear and all-together part of the narrative thus far. And it’s an interesting one! The devil’s playing games, offering temptation, and preparing these men to become monsters. I wonder how many of them will make it off of this boat alive. We know Maiza, Szilard, and Czeslaw do; this Huey is fairly obviously the Huey mentioned elsewhere in the show, as well.
Hrm. Actually, I wonder if Gretel is the Rail Tracer? He was looking for someone. Perhaps he used a false name and was “lost to the others forever”, and was looking for his wife or something. Still silly of him to carve that into the top of the train, but very little makes sense when you’re a three hundred year old psychic vampire, so...
An interesting episode thus far indeed. Raising as many questions as it answers, though what else could I expect from Baccano by now? I’m looking forward to more time spent on the ship in the second half.
Up next is going to be the third Patron Pick, A Place Further Than the Universe! I’ll see you guys for that on Wednesday, and then...then we begin Steven Universe Future.
I can hardly wait. See you there!
