On a more serious note, holy hell that look on Alice's face in the last panel. Just... wow. Ignoring any and all emotional impact from the story, that right there is -art-.
BenRG:
New comic up!
For something so simple, it's full of world-building and character-building. It also has probably the single most significant Alice quote so far:
--- Quote ---"If I'm right, you're being used as weapon. That's a terrible thing to be. I should know. I was a weapon too, once."
--- End quote ---
So, there we have it. What exactly is she? Gene-engineered super-soldier? Cyborg super-soldier? Whatever it was, it's left scars. Immortality has left scars too, by the looks of it. How long can one woman, no matter how remarkably gifted, carry the world before she starts to buckle under the weight?
Oh, and I was almost right. It's just Ardent who goes in for the hug instead of Gavia. Which, when you think of it, is deeply in-character for him.
ReindeerFlotilla:
Such a burden, being right.
The most developy thing I get from this (not discounting the weaponized Alice, just calling it revelatory. For arbitrary distinction sake), it that Alice is willing to open up at all. Obviously the flash back was emotional for her, but her verbal response are pure, cold Alice. Rational. Objective.
Her body language, OTOH is vulnerable. I don't know if she's hiding her face, in the end because there's only so much vulnerability she can tolerate, or if Jeph just wasn't up to drawing tears, but it's nice touch. It fits in with the conflicted expression of Alice's affect.
Now, I'm going to kick back and drink all of Arbitrary Distinction's sake.
Kugai:
Dang!
