Comparing her face in the first panel and then in the fourth is heartbreaking. She seems like she really was hoping that he missed her.

Pretty much what I was going to say. Anyone who has suddenly been having a nice day and completely oblivious to what is going to happen next.. its a hard cliff to fall from when someone throws that kind of info at you.

And if he had missed her, I think they would have become a steady item. Sven and Faye came within a few hours of being a "real" couple, and then Sven blew it. It's agonizing to think how close Sven and Faye, both emotionally damaged in their own ways, came to happiness. Now they have to start over.
Sven can start by framing his "1000 hurts" t-shirt as a reminder of how much a shit he can be.

--- Quote from: Jimor on 17 Feb 2009, 10:59 ---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.

I agree. There is no way Faye will go to Dora right now...Dora hated this relationship from the beginning. She knew it was a bad idea and threatened Sven because of it. Faye won't want to go tell Dora that she was right. Faye will want to turn to Marten, the first person she opened up to since her father's suicide. Assuming she does go home, it's probable that marten won't be there as Jimor pointed out. She'll kick herself for passing Marten up and push away from Dora even more. There's going to be a spew of emotions on all character accounts here, real soon.
Hannelore, FTW, as usual. She has a little nest in my heart.
Glamdring:
No telling what Faye will go off and do, but one thing is nearly certain - there will be alcohol involved. To begin with, alcohol seems to be the QC characters' #1 way of dealing with relationship explodey-ness. To end with, alcohol has traditionally been Faye's #1 way of dealing with things she doesn't want to actually face, and I think this qualifies.
The real question in my mind is where Sven will go from here. I think he genuinely feels like shit about it, whereas he definitely wouldn't have before meeting Faye. I just don't think he really knows what to do about it.
The best part about this is that technically, he didn't do anything wrong. He wasn't in a relationship with Faye, and he never agreed to monogamy. She accepted that with the caveat that if/when he did bang someone else, she was out of there. End result being (predictably, because I've actually seen this happen to friends in real life) he *did* bang someone else, and she *did* leave, but what neither one realized was that they had opened up their hearts to one another and the real result was (drumroll....) 1000 hurts.
Kugai:
Looking at it again, I can see that Sven would have rather taken the beating rather than what Faye did - Just walk out.
Right now. I think he feels lower than a Cardassian Gunrunner.
