So, the last page that went up was about three months ago. The last few chapters largely revolved around Maria. Rain herself has actually gotten fairly little screentime in recent chapters. Any reasonable comic artist would've probably opened the long awaited new chapter with Rain. Nope! Not me! We're picking back up with Maria. XD
I have my reasons for this. It may or may not become more apparent as we go, so I'll leave it at that for now. But don't worry. Rain will get more screen time. So will Ky, since I know people will ask. This is gonna be one of those chapters where almost everyone gets to do something. It's a Friday night in the story, so we're not relegated to the school and St. Hallvard's students for once. ^_^
For instance, not only are we seeing Maria here, but also her new roommates, Blair Carver and... wait, have we seen this Isaac guy before? Yes and no. As in, you've technically seen him, but he hasn't been named, and I'd be surprised if anyone remembered him. You can actually spot him here.
Another thing I want to point out is that it's May in the comic! After two and a half years of February, a few chapters of March, and like four pages of April, we're up to May (with prom SOOOO close)! I had considered doing some kind of quick montage of the weeks between the last page and now, but especially after the long gap between posting, the timeskip honestly just felt kinda natural. I dunno. It helps keeps things moving, and I can go over all the important points as we go.
I feel like there's at least a dozen more things I could go over right now, but please, I'd rather here from you. ^_^
Yeah! We spent a really long time in February, a while in March, and skipped over April almost completely. Which is fine. I actually really like the way this comic moves through time; it sometimes feels like the character’s lives are always so wild, until you remember that there are longer stretches of time in the comic where little happens.
We’re so close to the end of the school year though!

On a different topic, I’m joining in my first Pride festival this weekend. Feeling nervous...
Isaac = Isaac Clarke
Carver = John Carver
Did I miss that reference for months?
