Jeph tortures his characters on a pure Dickensian scale. Damn the man!
I'm leaning toward the "Sven has the big realization/Faye has the big realization" path here. I mean, Faye's been saying all along she doesn't want a relationship, she isn't ready for a relationship, she can't have a relationship...and here she is, realizing that she really, really, really wants a relationship. And Sven -- he has had another first. He confesses, the girl goes away, AND HE ISN'T HAPPY. It would only have been better if he'd said "and the whole time, I kept thinking of you and how I shouldn't be doing it, and I've never HAD those thoughts before." I mean, he is showing signs of really caring about Faye. That's gotta be brand new to him. Like any new thing, he's gonna fuck it up a few times before he gets it right.
I'm half expecting that when Faye tells Dora, Dora will be dumbstruck that Sven actually told her the truth and didn't try any of his old, slimy denials and escapes.
I'm gonna be hopeful here that Sven and Faye will eventually talk and tell each other the truth, because, really, I'm an optimist. I know that it's possible (from a been there, done that, still with it standpoint) for a relationship to recover from shit like this if there's anything good in it in the first place, but it is a lot of work. I hope, wish, pray, want, beg that they are up for it. I'd like to see them start over with a real relationship. They are young yet, and this may not be a forever thing, but it can be good for what it is.
Then again, maybe Faye just walked outside to get a club or a gun or something.

^^What she said....'cept maybe the club part. If Faye was going to get violent (which I'm happy she didn't because it would be inappropriate and out of context) she would have already.

the sad thing is, I have been programmed (stupid fucking disney movies at a young impressionable age) to secretly root for this scenario. bleh.

Me too. I hate wanting it but I knew I would feel unreasonably bad for these characters...I just want them to be HAPPY damnit. Just for a few strips!! I really enjoy the Sven/Faye dynamic in the comic. It's a good foil relationship for Marten/Dora and it's helped to keep another male in the comic. QC has been a male or two short as I am sure everyone's noticed. Steve, Jimbo and even Angus would be refreshing perspectives after all the ladies.
And where is Wil?? He needs to come back and help Sven get Faye back with some of that sexy poetry! :D

SavannahGirl:
Poor Faye,I think she was starting to like Sven for more than just a booty call. I hope he realizes that he has feeling for her too. (I hope he dose have feelings for her)
Like i have stated before, I hope they end up as a couple :roll: :wink:
Jimor:
One thing to consider, I don't think the Marten/Hannelore subplot is an accident. Faye is probably on the way home to talk with Marten, or at least to gain strength from his dependable presence even if she doesn't tell him, but she's going to find an empty apartment (well, Pintsize is there, and perhaps is about to create the most monumental example of his performance art ever). Nothing to ratchet up the sadness like having nobody to turn to. I don't think Dora is the shoulder Faye wants right now.
