Any of you at TCAF this weekend? I'll be speaking at Word Balloon Academy on Success vs Burnout Friday afternoon at 3:30! You have to pre-register, but it's still free!
I was worried this would be a terribly sad piece of music that make my sadness worse. Instead, it is an accurate representation of my response to this page.
In manga, they often have a mark similar to an asterisk (looks kind of like the Walmart logo, actually... and asterisk-esque starburst that doesn't meet in the middle) that usually means their head is spinning. Perhaps they gasped, or they just woke up, or they're fainting, or they're trying to clear their head when they're drunk. That sort of thing.
I think it looks strange here because of the font choice, but I get what Megan was trying for.
I think it's more that he realized he was bleeding, which he didn't notice earlier because he was too busy getting talked to/mind screwed, and when he noticed, he brain said, "Good! Now, collapse. No need to be tough, just let us do our job."
Something something blood making the waters profane... Seems Beast is remembering more now, as if his life is flashing before his eyes, and what he forgot is now returned.
Aaaaaaaaah! So yeah, he killed himself at the fountain, didn't he? That is definitely a man's arm. The roses being white in that memory isn't something I would have expected, but they do make a better contrast to the blood.
The Beast must have known he was bleeding before this, though? And it looks like he's finally fainted from blood loss, ugh! The asterisk is really unsettling, after so many pages without any symbols like it.
