Hey, now we have a name for Howard the turtle man, who we saw on this chapter’s cover and way back in chapter 12.  A little checking in on all our characters, a little backstory here and there, a little humor…yes, this is all building up nicely.

↓ Transcript
Jacob: People need to stop asking me that or I might change my mind. Nice shotgun. And you lost a lot more weight. Been having a rough time, girl?
Girii: I've been trying to stay alive. Where have you been?
Jacob: Same.
Roger: Seriously, it's like the kill-or-die olympics out there.
Girii: I see you found your editor.
Roger: Yep. She's, uh...interviewing people who are probably going to die.
Girii: That's a busy hobby.
Howard: Name's Howard Gregor. I was dying of cystic fibrosis when Fumiaki helped me. I didn't want to be turned into this, but I'm alive. Isn't alive better than dead? Why does everyone but the Genocide Project know this?

    Gregor like Gregor Samsa? Howard looks cool though, kind of makes me feel nostalgia for the old days with the original TMNT comics.
