Huh?

same question, but my answer is 'whipped culture'

I'd say a combination of desperation, jealousy, possessiveness, frustration and a whole lotta Heineken. We see quite the build up to that blurted out offer since the previous chapter, at least from Edd's POV. From what I could understand in the next chapter, a few panels would be all about "WTF am I doing?" (⊙…⊙ )

Thanks, Doc.
