1.) Kevin Bumgarner: Was the dream V had in #623 an actual event that happened, or was V just having a bad dream based on their decision to run from battle?
Huh, I just realized I've been wildly misinterpreting that scene all along. I thought it was showing a current scene of Azurites who have somehow survived the last few months in Azure City without being caught, and that the person who thinks they bumped into V didn't actually do so (since V is long gone). I thought it was just to set up the joke of the soldier saying "I hope you choke," followed by V gasping.

It never occurred to me that it was a flashback to something that V was remembering.
