Gunnerkrigg Court 7: Psychopomp and Circumstance

[eschmenk]

Yes, I agree with the idea of a straw that breaks the camel's back. I had just added this to my comment when you posted:

The way I see it, though, is that if Annie was going to come out of her denial eventually, she would have to start acknowledging something and that could be pretty much anything Tony has been doing to her. Why not this? I don't think it's weirder than some of the other things that have happened in the story.

ADDED: Actually, I think you could argue that Annie's ability to remain in denial was starting to slip in the page I linked to. She seemed to need Kat's reassurance that her dinner with Tony would be a pleasant experience.
