More fun with shadows!
These next couple of pages will be pretty low-key, as we’re winding down this chapter and getting ready for the last one, in which we’ll meet the other two members of the squad and have a big fight scene.
On another note: it would be very easy, I think, for the relationship between Resunotek and Ichiro to remain very one-sided, because of how they met and who Resunotek is as a person. Ichiro also doesn’t really know how to take care of people outside of sort of survival basics, but I wanted to show at this juncture that he has the impulse to return some of the care he’s been receiving, even if he can’t do much about it now.

A four-panel, black-and-white comic page.
Panel 1: It’s evening again, and the tent has been set up underneath a leaning tree and beside a huge fallen log. The cooking pot sits on a fire in a circle of stones, and Resunotek crouches beside it, stirring the pot with a stick. Ichiro sits a short distance away, wrapped in the blanket with his sword propped against his shoulder.
Panel 2: A closer shot of Ichiro, looking back toward Resunotek with an expression of concern.
Ichiro: Your arm’s hurt.
Panel 3: Resunotek holds out her left arm. Her sleeve is tucked under the straw cloak, so the bandage around her elbow is visible.
Resunotek: It’s a burn. It isn’t bad.
Panel 4: An even closer shot of Ichiro as he looks away, unsure of what to say.
