Chapter: Mile High Engage

+17

une immense espérance

The greater the hope, the harder the fall when in fails.

This page will probably read a lot better for those who don’t have to wait for updates, going through the archive. Right now though, I feel like it loses some of the emotional weight because most of the circumstances are unknown. (I like the page though.)

  Yeah it’s been really hard to balance out information with characterization in this chapter. This is probably the most emotionally complex scene I’ve actually gotten to execute so far so I’m still getting the hang of things, need more practice with this stuff haha. I appreciate the feedback!
  - Amaaré
    
    It may be more complex but it’s not the most intense, that title still goes to Ulrich and Phin post Tain, that page has ALL OF THE FEELS.
    This one is good too though.
    - Aria
      
      😀 I’m really glad to hear that! As much as I love Jo and Hazard I’m much more concerned about people connecting emotionally with the main cast than I am with these two.

What is she doing in third panel? Are those berries? Some kind of fuel for the seeker lamp?
- Wereael
  
  I think it’s some kind of flower?
  - Aria
    
    Yep, they’re zinnias. Seeker lamps work better if you have something from the person you’re looking for, but in lieu of that you can use blood from the person doing the looking. A whole heart works best because they aren’t consumed by fire so easily but blood that passed through the heart that wants something works okay too.

Wait, is that the same glittery stuff that ate Hazard’s eye poking out from the tops of Jo’s gloves in panel 4?
- Aria
  
  looks that way doesn’t it

So what happens if she rips the gloves?
- Aria
  
  She tries hard not to, it’s pretty gross under there.
