Sue’s definitely got something not-standard zombie going on there, judging from the earlier stuff in the flashback. Maybe whoever made her was experimenting with hybrids?
Given that this is a flashback from nine years ago, and he appears in the first story arc, only a couple of months ago, if that, I think it’s fairly safe to say that he survives.
Which, looking back… crap, that’s a Character Design fail on my part. They both have big round glasses and three wisps of hair on their round heads. I can see how you thought she was Cyril.
I just realized something about Sue’s name. Her initials, not counting her surname, are S.A.D. Susan Annabeth Diane. Was that done on purpose or was it a… erm… pardon the turn of phrase, a “happy accident”?
I’m very curious to know more about Cyril: [*AHEM*pleasedontlethimdieIlikehim *AHEM*] How did he get into this line of work? Is he a medical doctor, or a research scientist, or what background would have prepared him for a career in Mortal-Necrotic Relations?
Cyril’s position is more of a Social Work profession than a medical or scientific one. He assists necrotic entities (zombies, but also wraiths skeletons and such) with integrating into society and provides them information and counseling on how to live peacefully amongst people they would otherwise be driven to kill or eat.
Thanks for the thorough reply! 🙂
“…provides them information and counseling…” puts an image in my mind of Cyril leading an Anthropophages Anonymous group:
Zombie: “Hi, my name is Aaarrgh Z. and I eat brainzzz… ”
Everybody: “HI, AAARRGH!”
😀
Oh? Oh! Ooooh…
Oh my…
Hmmmmmmmmm!
She must be at least partially wrong, since this is in flashback and modern-day Susan is identified as a zombie.
Plus she doesn’t drink blood and hasn’t shown any hunger for it. Unless the fake brains she eats have fake blood as well.

or she was bitten by both?
I really hope Cyril survives this encounter…

Cyril hasn’t appeared in any other story arcs, only this flashback arc.
No? Who was it in the beginning of the first story arc, then, the one that was mad at Timothy for being above ground?
The lady who was mad at Timothy for being above ground was Asa Dawngleam, a mantid Anthrokin.

That’s not an accident. 🙂
It’s subtle details like that which are quite brilliant. ☺
Zompire?
