At first glance I thought maybe the last panel showed the frustrated fist of “mustn’t touch,” but now I believe we’re seeing the skillful snatch of “GOT YOU, little glowy threads.”
Mmm… but what are the glowy threads? Energy, Soul, Magic? All three perhaps? I do hope a couple of old rough-stringers can do cutting work… old dogs, on the other hand, are famously resistant to changing their spots… if I may mangle a few good aphorisms. 😀
