Struggling to sleep Rae and Blue have a long conversation one night, reflecting on suppressed feelings and harsh truths.

--------------
FYI
- The dream pages at the start were drawn a long time ago- originally the comic was just going to end with Rae cheering Blue up but as I scripted this conversation developed. Sorry if those pages feel a bit discounted.
- I was practising writing a flow of dialogue that's maybe a bit messy but *hopefully* realistic.
- Sorry the ending is so sudden- I just didn't want to commit to drawing the next stage of this story right now. I have some other things to get on with, hopefully, it's not *too*abrupt.

Nothing really happens in this comic lol, but here's the point of it.
- I decided to take the Arma threat comic as canon, this comic is a bit of a transitionary one for me. I wanted to move Rae's powers/ the Soul Weaver to the same point as the defender's side of arma.
- I wanted to explore some different thoughts and approaches to the current state of the city.

I don't know when the next Rae and Blue comic is planned. Probably not for a while though. If any story beats/set-up in this comic has piqued people's interest give me a shout!

I really enjoy reading these little self reflecting episodes they have from time to time. It's always an additional layer to flesh them out and it's been super enjoyable to see them grow more and more.
This one specifically strikes me as a great example for why they are such a good pair, bouncing off each other while having drastically different takes on important topics. Really looking forward to how this keeps shaping their relationship in the future.

I'm also quite invested in the revelation that Blue not only doesn't remember anything from her past life as Mari, but that said personality feels so alien to her. Almost as if she couldn't have been that person to begin with.

Can't wait to see what the future holds for em! Keep up the great work!

I like how rich your storytelling is and the color palettes you used here were very nice, they had a dreamy quality to it.
Good job!

The colors you did for this are phenomenal, I absolutely adore this comic and how you wrote it! I don't have much criticism, the amount of feeling this comic gives is great, I'm so excited to see how this gets resolved.
