a lot of my thoughts echo pyras': the colours are gorgeous but the hard lighting could be exaggerated, and the faces are a bit similar. It was very pretty though, i liked the soft pinks and purples! The story didnt tell me much about either character that i didnt already know but its good to see how we can expect they'll interact through the rest of the tournament. Swan seems to be in the habit of poking around where nobody wants her, and Fool needs to get used to the fact that some people in this city are just going to try to be nice to her!
since it's a collab i'll give the crits for specifics things and I'm sure y'all can sparse who they're for
The colors are strong like before but you want to keep pushing the hard lights and shadows a little further especially in a situation like this room that begs for it; Panel 3's floor and background is most lacking of dynamic lights, we should see a streak of light hitting the carpet across the floor, and the shadows of the furniture (those hard blacks) doesn't quite match up with what we should be getting from light sources.
You want to push your facial variations a bit more; Fool and Pascaline have very similar looking faces and it doesn't help they're both blonde. I'm aware that when you are pressed for time faces can start to blend together, it happens to me too. And watch out with your profiles, panel 2 of the last page Pascaline's lips are struggling between the more realistic shapes and the side-mouth thing that you often see in anime. If it's a true perpendicular profile or further to her right then we shouldn't be seeing the philtrum as we are
