Page two. For all who are actually checking up on this, I thank you. It's taking time and effort, especially with Skyborn in process simultaneously, but I hope to still be able to finish this. Maybe I'll shoot for ten chapters instead of nine, making 130 pages when the story is finished. Can't guarantee, though.We'll see how long the ending is when I get there. Here, I'll put a transcript up this time, and add it to my earlier post.

EDIT: Sorry about forgetting the page... that was utterly my bad. Good thing I checked it before I went to bed, now you get to criticize my artwork too.




































Transcript:
Laus (Thought): Why? Why do they suffer this way?
                   So much pain and suffering in this world. People who abuse others for profit and pleasure...
                   can no one see the tears that woman cries?
                   They least they could do is lend an arm to one another. Why not this? Maybe that's my reason.
                   She still doesn't look at me.
                   Perhaps I should address her, find the root of the grief... give her someone to lean on...
Laus: Miss? Do you need help?
Laus (Thought): She still gives no indication of noticing me. Perhaps the shock is too great. Perhaps I don't
                   wish to know why? But no matter. Once help has been offered, one can not renege. I should
                   help the poor girl to her feet.
Girl (screaming): NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Laus (Thought):  What's this? My touch? A wail of pain... was she injured? No... that wasn't the pain in that
                   scream... that was the pain of despair.
