I have had so many crashes today, which is partially why this post is going out so late. I remain just two pages ahead of you.
This page is a little less miserable than the last two, but things are still pretty depressing below. I promise eventually it will get better.

A three-panel, black-and-white comic page.
Panel 1: Tarahito holds his sword to his chest in a gesture of self-protection, looking down and away. He grimaces.
Tarahito: My brother is waiting.
Panel 2: Ichiro’s face. There’s a welt on his cheek where he was struck, and his eye is beginning to swell. His expression is one of resignation.
Panel 3: This panel is borderless and full-page behind the other panels. A forest of tall, straight trees is enshrouded in mist, and snow covers the ground beneath them. Ichiro and Tarahito make their way through the forest, Tarahito several steps ahead. His footprints drag through the snow, while Ichiro’s are steady.
