I was expecting Gil to stay Sparky-protective, but no. Once again he sees Tarvek and drops straight out of fugue. Tarvek, for the sake of Gil and everyone around him, please don’t get kidnapped again.
I had to read that panel twice to confirm that yes, that was Gil speaking.
Also this only reinforces my belief that Tarvek has an anchoring effect on Gil’s mental state (which might be because he’s one of the few people Gil knows from before Breaking Through).
That really could be the case.
Thinking about it, even though Gil usually seems like the Protector, “Tarvek is safety” would be a perfectly reasonable belief to carry forward from a time when Tarvek’s status was warding off bullies.
