...the final panel's dialog was in part inspired by a comment on the FA gallery for page 185 by Kythra.
Unfortunately, Kythra will never see this, having passed away unexpectedly over the weekend.
You will be missed, old friend.
EDIT:
Corrected the dialog in first panel.
Much thanks to ChimeraDragonfang on DA for notifying me of the error!
