Betcha' thought I wasn't doing two pages a day any more, huh? Can't guarantee it will be every day, but when I can. I will. And you cannot stop me. :)

======

I figured it would be easier to address this in an author's note format, rather than repeating it to everyone who has asked and offered;

When it comes to translations, please feel more than free to do whatever you would like! All I would ask is, obviously, to be credited as the artist and writer. I don't mind where you upload them.

I don't really use much by way of social media, so feel free to direct people here if you want! And, likewise, if you've done the translations, you are more than welcome to credit yourself for the work on the pages!

I still cannot get my head around how many of you enjoy what I do. And I truly cannot thank you all enough for the sheer wave of support you've been giving me <3

You know it'll be fun when the preview shows lots of dark colours.

My computer crashed twice on this page, and I hard to start all over at least once :')

EDIT: FUCK I JUST NOTICED A TYPO GOD DAMMIT.

I've noticed a great many of you speculating, debating and praying about what sort of ending I have in mind.

Some of you are certain they're all going to die horribly later on.

Some of you believe they'll all live happily ever after. Either on the surface, or the caves.

I shall neither confirm, nor deny these speculations. In fact, the only reply I can think of is simple;

The music I listened too during the creation of this page: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imtFT33Xm5I (Don't Look Back - Kotomi & Ryan Elder)

Hoooooo boy did this one take me a while. For context, the previous page took me about an hour or two at most. This page? Closer to 10. It's almost my longest page to date in terms of sheer panels.

People often forget that Depression is a disease. It will never be cured with a single pep talk. It needs love, time and above all, patience. Because like all chronic diseases, it Deepens and fades. And when your friend is mired in the deepest pits of depression, one must remember that it is no longer your friend talking, but the disease.

It's always hard to see when someone is on the precipice. It only becomes obvious once it's too late. Be kind in all things. You never know what someone else is going through.

A note going forwards; I cannot guarantee that I will maintain the two pages per day pace I've been keeping. With my broken foot healing, I am gradually returning to regular duties, likewise, if work picks up again, my ability to spend 14-18 hours a day drawing will decrease somewhat.

I will, of course, aim to draw as much as possible. I love making this comic, and seeing how many people are enjoying it, and invested in it is truly heart-touching.

Thank you, all of you <3

Hopefulness. Part 12.

This one I finished a good few hours ago, but spent a long time revising that last panel.

Lemme tell you, the original ending was pretty dark. Though, it would've answered the question to "What happened to the falling rocks?"

EDIT: Oh yeah, the music I was listening too while making this; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvxkZ6u_Q4s (Penumbra: Requiem - Ending)
