Thank you CeilingFan!

So, it could in theory be Emil as well, but Reynir seems to be the official cat herder now, so I think it's him.

I think the person standing on the other side of the hole is Emil. They´re wearing a cape without fur, and since we see Sigrun in front of us it technically can only be Emil. So I guess Reynir caught Kitty. (Though at first glance I thought it was Sigrun too.)

[Jitter]

Oh yes, I agree Emil is on our side of the hole. The people behind Kitty from the left probably are Onni, Reynir, Sigrun and Mikkel, out of who Rey and Sig are the closest.

This particular time the grab even comes from the directions of Reynir i.e. from the left side of Kitty as seen by us. That alone doesn’t count as proof though

[wavewright62]

I'm astonished (as always) by the grasp of details, which I usually miss until I start looking for drawing references.  My vote is for Reynir mostly by virtue of his looooong and lanky frame.  Boy probably has a condor's reach.   

[muidole]

And so it seems to be confirmed! Reynir was the one to catch Kitty after all!

Minna has said she has trouble telling right from left (chirality issues). It seems she doesn’t find it worth it to check for consistency, because items (such as Lalli’s rifle) and people keep moving around for no reason, and probably everyone is seen both right and left handed things over the course of time. So, everyone is ambidextrous, we might as well go with Róisín’s suggestion that they are all trained to be so on purpose

...That was my cue, wasn't it?

Annuil, I’m pretty sure it’s Onni. All the boys have black gloves, Mikkel has black cuffs and Sigrun has fancy brown gloves

Yeah, I think you, guys, are probably right I mean, it’s pretty hard to learn to be ambidextrous, but it’s really useful!
(I’m actually working on that since last month, like, I make myself do some writing exercises, brush my teeth and eat with my left hand and it’s actually working! I have succeeded in drawing a draft with the left hand, when I needed my right one to pose and I cut an apple!  :'D)
I realized that you can work twice as fast while taking a test if you have a pencil in each hand! Do all the checks and marks with one and fill that answer paper with the other at the same time

Why was I reminded up playing the The Wind Waker while seeing Emil today?

[Jitter]

Looney_DAC that would be extremely unnerving at first!

[Mirasol]

LooNEY_DAC, what a funny, meta story! :'D Chirality truly works in mysterious ways in the SSSS-world. (Says a person who noticed almost none of these errors since she can´t tell left and right apart either...)

Why was I reminded up playing the The Wind Waker while seeing Emil today?

Oh! Oooh! The memories come flooding back... :'D These parts in the game gave me so much anxiety, even though I don´t think you can actually fall except for at the end. But I did not know that when I played it. My brother, who was watching me, did, and was quite amused.
Now I can´t unsee it, thanks for pointing it out! :'D

A horrible thought occurs to me, guys.
The Swan of Tuonela wanted two Hotakkainens back by the end of summer, right? And we’ve assumed that it’s got to be Tuuri and Ensi. Otherwise it could be Tuuri and Onni.
But what if the two Hotakkainens the swan gets back are destined to be Ensi and Onni? A dark way of reuniting Tuuri with the Crew for a while longer, giving Onni peace at the cost of himself (and losing the Crew a friend and protector)...
I’m not sure, though. Maybe the Swan will want Tuuri back anyway.
Thoughts?

[Annuil]

Ooh, that does sound horrible.. when I first read that page, where the Swan says it, I froze for a moment, because I thought that the Swan wants TWO souls back, which means Tuuri and... Onni? But then I realised that the plan is to free Ensi and bring her soul back, so maybe that’s the second soul...
However, you never know what the Swan really meant, but I think it would be strange to leave Tuuri in the world of the living when she is in that form   
If the Swan meant two NEW Hotokainens then there will be no way for Onni to survive, but I think that’s not the case.
If they will not free Ensi during the summer, then the Swan will have to accept Onni and Tuuri as two Hotokainens.
But what if they free many souls from Kade? I have too many happy ideas about that, so that probably wouldn’t happen.

These are my sketchy ideas 

[Grade E cat]

The swan said something about letting Onni borrow Turri's soul, so chances are that she'll be the one of the two to come back.

[moredhel]

First the crew will have to survive using the bear trap and fighting the kade. When this is done, there is time to worry what the swan wants.

[midwestmutt]

I think the swan will be circling overhead during the climatic battle scene.

[Lallicat]

So what do you guys think made the bears turn away? Where do you think they’re going that’s so important that they don’t have time for a nice tasty snack? (From the bears’ point of view. I don’t want Emil to get eaten.)
