Comic transcript
Broccoli (humming happily): hmm hmm hmmm
Waffles: Hey. I was hiding in the corner. Saw the whole thing
Broccoli: What corner–
Waffles: You're playing a dangerous game, Poppet
Broccoli: 20 questions is NOT a dangerous game...
Waffles: Come on you know what I mean
Broccoli: But didn't you see? we made a connection! I learned so much about her
Waffles: Yeah, you learned she's an
empty husk
Oh, I don't believe that for a second
Waffles: Believe it, Poppet... She told you herself, and the good Lady Doris does not lie. You don't... want to pull on this thread
Broccoli: Oh, but I DO-
Waffles: POPPET
Broccoli: You know what I'm made of?
Waffles: ...Rice?
Broccoli: FRIENDSHIP MATERIAL! FRIEND HANDS. FRIEND FACE. FRIEND EYES. I was created to be a friend! And I shall fulfill my destiny! I shall know her and she shall know me and we will be BEST FRIENDS FOREVER!
Waffles: She doesn't think you're real
Broccoli: Yeah, well... I'm working on that
Waffles: Sigh…I..must concede...It IS remarkable that she deviated from her path
Broccoli: Well she can do anything, can't she? Perhaps she will do it again!
Waffles: Yeah, I wouldn't bet on it...
Broccoli: What is your deal with her?
Waffles: Um... I hate her?
Broccoli: Why?
Waffles: Dude I'm... literally Evil
Broccoli: Right, I get that. But like... This seems...a bit more personal
Waffles: You know what I could go for? A NICE Cup of HOT TEA
Broccoli: Waffles–
Waffles: Why don't you pour me some, Poppet?
Broccoli:I— NO!
Waffles: Why not?
Broccoli: Because you will NOT DRINK IT!!!
Waffles: Really? How can you be so sure?
Broccoli: You have knocked it over EVERY TIME I have poured it for you- WHY would this time be any different?
Waffles: Oh, I don't know... You seem to think everything is more complicated than it is... You think She's complicated. You even seem to think I'm complicated. Perhaps I am.Perhaps I have become... attached to you. Your unrelenting kindness. Your childish optimism. Your willingness to pour me tea over and over and over and over again. Perhaps your FRIEND AURA is so strong... That even I cannot resist it! Perhaps... My villainous persona is but a FACADE! And I would love nothing more...than to drink tea...with you! Perhaps I ADORE you and secretly wish we could have a different kind of relationship, but I'm scared of getting close to you because you remind me of someone I once loved–and I'm afraid of losing you like I lost them!
Broccoli: Waffles I had no idea
Broccoli pours him tea and he immediately knocks it over.
Waffles:I hate her because I'm Evil, Poppet. And I hate you too
Broccoli: Why did she make you? I wonder…
Waffles: Good question...
Broccoli: I mean she's omniscient so I'm sure she has a Polite and Good reason. Or well...not "omniscient omniscient" But like...she knows a lot. Wait does she know about–
Waffles: SILENCE! If there is something you don't want her to know, do NOT speak it aloud or write it down. Especially not here! Although... If you're thinking what I'm thinking... I don't think she knows... I mean... unless she's playing some kind of game with the creature... Where is it anyway
Broccoli: They're um... They're in my room...
Waffles: What? How long's it been in there?
Broccoli: A few days... Look, I got really busy, okay? There's been a lot happening!
Broccoli walks into their room to find Student on the floor unraveling a sweater.
Broccoli: STUDENT! You unraveled all my clothes! And put all my stuff on the floor! That's not very nice!
Student: That's not very nice...
Broccoli: Look at me!
Student: Look at me….
Broccoli: I'm sorry I said you weren't a person... That was very mean. You spoke on your own earlier... Can you do that again?
Student turns away from them and continues to unravel the sweater.
Broccoli: That's alright... I'll make you some tea

Well, one things for sure, Student is their own person. Unless someone was else unweaving Broccoli’s clothes for them to copy, that was all them.
It’s very eerie of them to do. It’s a destructive act, but it’s also very calm and not aggressive at all.
Perhaps these four complete a square of Doris as Lawful Good, Broccoli as Chaotic Good, Waffles as Chaotic Evil, and Student as Lawful Evil. No neutral parties are present because as we all know, the concept of neutrality is evil.
I love this theory but maybe it makes sense to replace chaotic and lawful with impolite and polite
Doris is everything, Student is nothing, Doris is an unchanging white void, Student is entropy incarnate. It's why their tea went cold after drinking it. People who touch them become tired and sleepy, which is also entropy. Their desire to unravel creation then, even something as simple as clothing, is clearly in their nature.
unraveling… like those dreams everyone has about something dark trying to unravel their souls…… like the force of darkness continually unraveling doris’ fabric………
*78:forshadowing, YOU MUST DIE
I feel like the "student is the embodiment of entropy" theory is becoming more and more plausible...
"When you let your room get dirty, you are letting entropy win"... oh look. XD There's entropy winning right there. =P
waffles is such a tsundere
Student is arranging everything on the floor in a specific pattern that feels important for later, but for now lets not worry about that they are so loveable lets see how they like tea.
