It looks to me like Hanna used to have control of these sort of situations and now is painfully learning to let go and let people make their own mistakes (or what she believes are mistakes).

I absolutely feel Hanna in panel 6 (a rare occurrence for me). For way, way too long, I allowed myself to fantasize about things such as not aging or dying (because of conveniently spontaneous superpower-like genetical aberrations, or advances in medicine, or a fantasy afterlife, or whatever).

Then, one day I finally said to myself "y'know none of that is really true, right? You're aging and one day you're going to die and then you'll be gone and the world will keep on going without you". I honestly didn't expect that simple acknowledgment to hit me like a speeding truck as it did. I spent nights awake for a few weeks in a revolting mixture of panic, anger and projected agony as my mind played over and over all the possible and horrible ways in which I'd die, but not without before having suffered for years and years every existing old age ailment and then the bafflement of trying to conceptualize the idea of not existing anymore.

A couple years after and I'm still learning to deal with it.

Chuckled at Hanna's face when somebody called a song from the late 00's a "classic".

Seeing Eve like this is almost too hard to reconcile it with how she was in the first chapters... so angry, but also more self-sure. Like her character design, she has mellowed, pointy angles rounded and softened and the vulnerability she was hiding under that no-nonsense 'tude is all that remains.

Like many adults (including myself) she's gone through a process of unmaking, of unlearning all the stupid ideas and posturing that adolescent us cobble into a makeshift personality to face the world as a pretend adult. Only after all that crumbles away for one reason or another, we finally start growing a true version of adulthood.

I think that after the reread my conclusion is yes, Park is a self-absorbed jerk but this whole thing is Eve's fault. I mean, I fully understand why she did it, that it happened almost organically but she did have a choice and her friends warned her. She should have known better that meeting up with Park would be a huge mistake.

The game is looking awesome, Meredith! Great job at both capturing the aesthetic and feel of the DOS p&c games and making it feel modern and contemporary.

That expression of Eve in panel 5, an absolutely perfect render of being mad at someone because you're mad at yourself but like hell you would admit that to yourself.
