cuidadora: Thanks for reading and commenting!
Wondering if this is a fast plot untwist (2 sentences) or just foreshadowing. Will be interesting to see which it is.
The Magic 8 Ball says that the future is cloudy. Check back later.
Poor Tad! Suicide attempts can be messy. And poor Wandamae.
Yes, I've given Tad the worst time of all. One never knows where the fate dial will land with him.
2 plot untwists in 1 chapter. Is that a record?

Possibly.
Clark really is getting himself twisted in his stories and guilt. I guess all Clarks have the tendency to take responsibility for things they can't control. I actually feel sympathy for Clark. If I recall correctly, he didn't know about this dimension's Clark's death as an infant until after Herb brought him here. And now he's assuming responsibility for something he not only didn't do but also didn't even know about. He's stuck in this dimension and trying very hard not to lose Lois. He really needs someone he can confide in.
Clark tends to internalize all suffering, even those which not directly responsible for. I figure since it's very difficult to hurt him physically, that emotional torment is Clark's Achilles heel. His empathy is what makes his such a wonderful man, gives him such a big heart, but that heart is too easily hurt. If he was perfect and immune to such things, he would be a more boring character. (I believe that's why in the comics when they tried to make Superman immune to Kryptonite it backfired on them. It was only giving him a more human soul that Superman came alive again.)
Looking forward to the next chapter.
Always good to read.
