I hope it's obvious what Thomas is suggesting at the end. It's also the end of the chapter.
You know, I don't have an exact plan for the next chapter. I had started on it and even sketched out three pages, but now think I need a chapter in-between as a buffer. Any requests for things to happen in this chapter for next week I haven't written yet?
They live in Michigan, and it's entering the fall in the story. Either option could be equally possible. They'd have to travel for a (warm) beach, and while I don't see any Onsens in Michigan, I don't see why it couldn't be possible for one to be there.
It does kind of fit into Tabitha's only sometimes mentioned anime references. I figure if Tabitha was picking an activity, she's probably choose something that's an anime cliche. Beach, a hot springs, some kind of festival where they had to wear kimonos, etc.
I doubt he'll ever reveal it, it's up to her to figure it out. If he's limited by following the version of the future he's seen, he sort of has to follow the script. He might know it's important for her to not know.
I'll try to add something. Originally, instead of the sleepwalker arc, we were going to get a prison in the complex storyline. That's why I introduced Deuce and Uno. There were a number of problems with it, like I didn't think Annie and Tabitha were able to re-fight all of the people they've meet and win yet, so I pushed it later into the story. It would have also shown Lucy using her powers.
That's why Thunderpunch was introduced and the rest of his story was connected to those other events.

It’s been a while since we have seen him.
