Chapter 1- Awake
(shoutout to my friend for rolling in with that Grey-appreciating username)
That’s right, we have a Discord! With social media being what it is (bad and messy), my hope is this can be a better hub for folks to get comic updates, streaming notifications, and hang out. Most of all, I wanted to make a lil space for fans of the comic to talk to each other! You can join the Discord here— be sure to read and accept the rules so you can get access to the entire server!
Also a shoutout to everyone for being so incredibly patient this year. 2023 has truly been a rough one, and I’m not thrilled with my slow output; I had hoped to be much much further along in chapter 7 by this point. This year’s brought a lot of surprises, some good, some terrible. Keeping up with it all has taken a sledgehammer to my mental health at times, and I’ve only just started to heal from some pretty powerful burnout. So thank you for being kind while I do what I need to stay on top of life chaos, manage my health, and not burn out again!
That’s it for now; hope to catch you in the Discord!

WOAH, oh man. I did NOT expect it to be that bad – I thought Midori would run off but almost to her death?! Thank goodness Grey was paying attention, and reacted in time.
The expressions of shock on both their faces are so heartbreaking ;-;
Grey looks a bit pissed at the end there though….I wonder what he’s thinking. I’m not sure if Midori actually yelled out Weiss’s name or not – which fits the seeming psychosis, honestly, being unsure what is said and what isn’t – but if Midori just *bolted* like that without saying *anything*….God.
Also I like the background people, they have a lot of diversity in appearance and reactions – some are gasping, a lot seem concerned. The attention isn’t good for them but idk, I guess i like that people aren’t completely checked out…even if nobody is doing anything, either. Bystander effect in full swing. something something SOCIETY.
Gaaaah ok final note, the composition is so good. The movement is so overwhelming and chaotic, the sudden appearance of the headlights of the train, the *whiplash* when Midori is grabbed – and the varying fonts overtaking the panels – like, Weiss shouts “Midori!” and it’s black text, then it shifts to Grey shouting it, and the text becomes white, then the final shout is black-and-white. It’s a tiny detail but it massively changes how things escalate, y’know? And how reality blurs, without using traditional text boxes. I notice more and more details the more I look. (“the doors are now closing”….is somehow so terrifying….)

Phew, that was a close call! This page has a great sense of movement and danger.
