Each one of these books was a lesson. A lesson designed specifically for Renee. And Flay was the teacher. Now the Question . . pun intended . . is what is the lesson? So after last issue's threat . . he threatened to kill everyone she loves . . she's come to him for answers. My only question is . . what is the Fifth lesson? The first four were Deceit, Lust, Greed and Murder. But this issue seems to be about the Parable of the Faceless. I thought she was supposed to learn 5 lessons? Well anyways, she's come right to the source, the base of the Order of the Stone, to try to reason with Flay. I believe they're in Biayla, but I don't know for sure. But Flay, this time doesn't seem to want to teach her anything, he wants to test her on what she's learned. In combat. At first she doesn't want to fight, but he's holding Felicia as hostage. That's the whore she slept with in the lesson of Lust. She gets the advantage over him, but refuses to kill him. Instead she goes to rescue Felicia. But Flay's not giving her a choice. He follows her, threatening, and she's force to knock him off the walk-way. He falls on some jagged metal and is impaled. So what's the lesson in all of this? They were all in on it. Even Felicia. And now? Now they're all bowing at her feet, chanting, "Master . . . command us in Cain's name." I don't think this is what she was expecting. Brilliant story by Greg Rucka. I wasn't overly thrilled with the pencils of Manuel Garcia, but I will admit that his style was perfect for this story. But the Question is . . . where does Renee go from here? And is she still on the side of the angels?
