The evening is coming to an end, but we won't be wrapping up the chapter until next week.
As a friendly reminder, though, the comic itself is not ending with this chapter. There won't even be a hiatus. This chapter ends next week, and also, the next one starts next week. ^_^
The parties I had with friends after high school graduation still hold a really special place in my heart now, a decade later. This chapter really does feel like the bonfire my friends had, or going tubing, or the going away party for my friend who was international. The moments that were "this is the last time we'll all be together, so let's make the best of it!"
You did a really good job capturing that feeling here <3
Thinking about it, I don’t think one huge terrible event is coming. I think instead we will get a bunch of smaller, chaotic happenings. Remember that Emily is due plus they’re all about to move. One more will give it a real shitstorm quality.
I think that third happening will be Kellan showing up with her head shaved as penance.
yeah, and when Emily was talking to her mom at prom, she said he got arrested while drunk. meaning there's a huge chance he could try and make a reappearance when he's released
I like to imagine Maria and Rudy are catching up a bit, as a pair of close siblings who've been separated for a while might. Probably snarking at each other or about their parents.
Chanel is probably showing Ryan some Kaminari memes. XD
That last panel kind of feels symbolic that it's Rain and Gavin and their partners. Like 2 best friends and in only 1 school year their lives changes a heck a lot, and all that drama from before is gone. I cant describe it well but it's a feeling I got.
This page feels so warm, I can feel the waves of steam rising up off of the pool from my computer screen. This strip makes me feel so many things, and it makes me really happy. I'm really glad for this page, it's so nice for me.
This is one of the most heartwarming pages ever. Rain sums up everything perfectly, that despite all the obstacles that she and her friends went though, that they were able to handle them and stay strong no matter what. I'm really happy for Rain and her friends!

Though it does leave me nervous that next chapter we're going to have some really big drama (like Marcus showing up in person).
