Would you look at that, there's a character we haven't seen in a while. Wonder what he's up to? Somewhere happier than those first few pages, probably.

I'm exhausted from this page, honestly. Generating unique characters for a single use, as well as haphazardly setting up other story lines… well. It's creatively draining. but it's worth it!

Not the first time I've drawn that library, but it's definitely trending more late Gothic than I had originally intended. Keep a lookout for those Ionic influences, you architecture buffs!
