I'm trying to understand what's happening in the fourth panel, where the cat vanishes, and all you have are dark beings.

It can't be the perspective of the ghoul, because the ghoul can see the cat (panel 6), and it can't be the humans because they can see the cat and not see the ghoul.

So who is this mysterious third party that can only see ghouls and humans, but not cats?

The people in the 4th panel arent supposed to be humans, theyre some sort of shadow people, and the 'ghoul'is like their shadow pet.

Panel 1 and panel 4 are basically mirrors of each other, where panel 1 is from the "human dimension" and panel 4 is from the "ghoul dimension". Same relationship between for panels 2 and 5, as well as panels 3 and 6.

You are. In that specific panel.

That makes no sense. I'm sitting right here at home in my arm chair. How can I be there?

So:

Cats can see ghosts and humans, but not tetris

Ghosts can see cats, but not the 12th most purchased game in the world

Tetris can see humans and ghosts, but not cats

Humans can see cats, but not ghosts or one of the most popular game

So Cats>ghosts>tetris>humans
