Finally.

Whew, those three pages were tough! This scene was on my mind for years and it has certainly evolved in a more complicated direction than before. I always get anxious when I put my characters into really dangerous situations. Especially at a time like this, when people are already frightened and worried about the state of the world, I wonder if I should not make happy wish-fulfillment comics instead. But in a way, I need to handle the anxiety in my comics, too.

I still feel guilty about this turn of events…
