Poor Beast, he doesn't realise how easy it would be to escape, how close he is.
"Someone who can't return my feelings" if only he knew. If only *they* knew.
Why the castle likes seeing you humiliated and sad? Cause it's fun! The castle is a bully, why do you ask this stupid question that has such an obvious answer, Beast? Bullies bully, there's no reason to it.
How rude.
Also I'm incredible sorry for him, I think that loving her is never gonna be enough if he can't love himself, feel free in his own skin. That's the only other option here.
Also, beautiful panel, as always ;)
Oh Beast! I feel for him. Of course he would want to understand why he and Beauty are being treated like this--though would that knowledge really bring him any peace or comfort? I have my doubts that it would.
His lines in the last two panels are beautiful, though heartbreaking. I think the Beast probably would have killed himself by now if his contract didn't keep him from doing so. I'm glad it restricts him from doing that--his life would never have the chance to get better if he ended it--but this has to be an agonizing way for him to live. I wish I could hug him, or better yet, that Beauty would. But I doubt that's going to happen for a while.
