Hey Dear Readers! I'm going to do my best to avoid interruptions to the comic over the next week or two, but there's been a death in the family that requires me to travel to the frozen north, and I don't know how long I'll be needed up there, or if internet's going to be easily available. Please bear with me if things are patchy over the next little bit.
Sorry for your family's loss dear... Please don't worry about keeping us contented, you need to worry about your loved ones. We'll all still be here ^_^
Poor Beast. He's hurting so much and I hope it isn't too drawn out, although I know there's going to be plenty of angst and sadness before the story is over.
Spend as much time with your family as you need to, we can wait for updates.
The first panel of this chapter makes me wonder if this isn't a new day, rather than later in the same day. I could see the Beast staying out here all night in his grief. He looks so defeated right now, even though this is what he was aiming for. I wonder if the ruler of the castle is going to appear to us in the next page? He seems to be looking at something!
