Synopsis

During the day Cerebus begins seeing things. He sees Astoria in chains (like she was right before the trial), and then he sees Astoria as the aardvark figure and himself as the female pontiff figure. At night Cerebus suffers nightmares involving the ascension, the tower, and self inflicted wounds.

Dino hires a shy, new waitress, Doris. Reggie writes to Robbie, telling of Oscar's worsening condition.
