The trials are supposed to have a binary outcome: either you morph or you don’t. The problem for Sage is that she managed to morph, just into the wrong colour. And issue 5 deals with the Sage trying to pretend that she failed to hide the truth of what is really going on. It takes a while as the issue goes on until she finally comes clean and then they leave you on a cliff hanger of what will happened next. In the 1990’s this would have led to a “why did you lie to me?” followed by a whole issue of reassurance that Sage is not a monster. Nowadays, I foresee fear, anger and even rejection by those around her. Should be fun to see issue #6.
