Saturday and Sunday are still lounging about when they are summoned to a grand debate. The island’s populace is being threatened by an invisible monster and no one agrees about how to best deal with the disaster. Rallying around Sunday’s opinion, which consists in the idea that “living outside is pretty cool,” the young inhabitants leave their underground lairs and discover freedom. Meaning that they create major chaos and gorge themselves on suspicious-looking mushrooms. In the meantime, Saturday falls head over heels for a woman in a red dress.

This third album concludes the Machiavellian trilogy in which every character seems to have pretty good (or bad) reasons to hide the truth from those they love. This time, it’s Anne we’re focusing on. She talks us through her childhood, her relationship with the enigmatic but dangerous Louviers, the first steps towards becoming an assassin, and the strange crossovers between writing and killing. Meanwhile, TJ goes off the rails after his discovery of Anne’s true identity at a decisive moment in their relationship, and Rock achieves his greatest victory, but it’s drenched in tragedy. As Anne says, “sometimes you have to get your hands dirty to get what you want.”
