“but I just may not.”

IN CASE YOU HAVE TROUBLE READING PANELS:

(…The sun is setting.)

(…It seems your journey is finally over.)

(You can breathe now. The world is saved. And, despite it all, you made it out in the end.)

(And yet…)

(…He did not.)

(Days will pass. Weeks will turn to months. He may not officially ‘die.’ But he will not wake up.)

(Nobody will visit him. Nobody will ask. You haven’t even seen his mother.)

(Eventually. People forget.)

(…But not me. I won’t forget you. I promise.)

A new concept!! I hope you guys like this one…

This is essentially a WR epilogue. Would take place in chapter 7. This would likely be in an aborted WR timeline, but still after SNOWGRAVE was cast. This is in regard to everyone’s favorite forgettable little blue bird.

Personally, I think he’s 1000% dead. Not only because the ‘Fatal’ thing, it just makes sense on a route trying so hard to make these permanent choices, that this is our first true kill. Seems significant enough that the plot is still focusing on the fallout from it.

And that is…utterly tragic. Because the WR can be aborted and the story can continue. But you in turn force Kris and Noelle to live with this lifetime of guilt. Even if it’s not the worst ending they could’ve obtained.

Berdly is in a ‘coma’, but is essentially brain dead. Kris knows he’s never waking up. And nobody ever comes to visit him besides Kris. Noelle is far too traumatized by what happened and blocks it out. Kris prefers it this way.

The ‘ending’ doesn’t really matter. I didn’t have anything in mind! Assumedly the Roaring occurred. Kris lost an arm (cause of course?) and the final tragedy (whatever it is) likely took place, saving both worlds.

And then…? Life progresses. A scary thing to think about. A world where everything’s exactly the same, except you don’t exist.

(If you’d like some extra angst — I think Kris would probably play the piano in the lobby occasionally in the vain hope that he’d hear it and it would calm him just a bit.)

Also…I hope this one looks okay!! It’s often very hard for me to find motivation to do bigger stuff like this. But lowkey I’m holding tight to that “As long as you get the point, the words don’t matter” thing from Gerson haha
