as an early foreshadowing of Lasciel.

Yes. At first I thought that too. I have started to write a new topic about why Karrin would become a denarian by taking up Lasciel's coin, but to my dismay there was a disruption and most of my text is gone.
It could also refer to Lasciel, but maybe that is what we should think. Or it really refers to Lasciel being with Karrin in the future while Andi is still being nemfected. The one doesn't exclude the other. Why would the cat leave? Why is Andi never in the room? Why is Butters so extremely distrustful? This always seemed weird to me. It can not all be attributed to Harry stealing Bob and fighting with his Girlfriend. And thinking about the fight with Andi: She is a werewolf. Wouldn' t she have known it was Harry? Smelled him? Why did she attack him then? There could at least have been some confusing moment with her asking:"Harry, is that really you?" They could have talked, he could have explained. But she attacked, he hurt her, destroyed equipment because of the fight and Butters is even more upset, than he would have been with Harry only breaking in and taking Bob.
Bad Alias:
I like the Andi theory. It would go a long way to explain Butters' character shift. The reason Mister disappears whenever Andi is around is because Andi tried to eat him in Day Off. Or at least I think that was the name of the short story.
Mira:
The bit about Andi being able to smell that it was Harry is the point that stands out to me. Yes, Harry was mostly dead, but was revived and now is Mab's Knight. Now I suppose that could have
changed him so much that Andi's keen sense of werewolf smell couldn't detect him... But really?
Seriously? I totally doubt it, I work air scent dogs, have worked trailing dogs who can follow days
old trails, I've worked cadaver dogs that can find documented 800 year old human bones and discriminate between them and ordinary beef bones. Remember the tale of how when Ulysses
returned home after twelve years in disguise, no one knew him except his old loyal dog. No, Andi
should have known it was Harry. However the human part of her is susceptible to the same
skepticism that most humans would have towards someone who supposedly was murdered, gone,
and then came back and suddenly was trying to rob her home. Butters would know all of the above
about his girl friend's sense of smell, so he wouldn't doubt that it was Harry, but at the same time
he might have doubts about how he is behaving especially when you add the emotional factor of his love for Andi, and her getting hurt.
morriswalters:
This is Jim shoehorning a character into the position of knight. If Andi's werewolf senses work then there is no tension. I had enough trouble accepting Butters and Andi as a couple. So buying Andi not using her sense's to suss out Harry from an imposter isn't much of a stretch. In addition, Butter's gets all wound up about Harry repaying a debt to Bob, even though he is using Bob and knows the danger to Bob if the skull is damaged. As I'm sure Bob would have told him.
As to the dreams, remember that Bonea is talking to Harry's Id, Bonea can know, even if Harry doesn't, that Lasciel is on the scene. Certainly Lasciel knows about Bonea, as we find out in the vault. And id more or less tells you so at the end of chapter 23 when Bonea is revealed. id tells Harry to remember the dream, the dream where Murphy is carrying a fallen.
edit
Well Harry makes it explicit.
--- Quote from: Harry in Skin Game ---Ah. So that's what my subconcious had been trying to warn me about. That Lasciel was right here in front of me, and itching for payback.
