Here's the deal. This chapter, if you couldn't tell by the cover, title, and previous page hinting at Rain's inheritance, is going to involve memories of a deceased character to some extent. So, I wanna offer a little content warning, that it might be a hard read for some folks who may have lost loved ones in the past. On the other hand, maybe it'll be comforting to some. Your mileage may vary.
I'll say that I cried a lot, writing and drawing this one. Some sad cries. Some happy cries. Some bittersweet cries. So I recommend keeping some tissues close, and just... prepare for emotions.
My next round of dental work is currently slated for November, but as I've discussed, I've still got a lot to save. If you can help, I will be very grateful. If not, no hard feelings. Thank you, either way. https://gofund.me/bc702c0d
There's a bit of an explanation for this in an earlier chapter, where it was mentioned Rain's inheritance was specifically under her deadname. Many families have it offset until the principal comes of age, to prevent legal shenanigans such as guardians snaffling it and leaving them destitute -- and as the inheritance was under her old name, the attorney advised her to hold off on the change lest it cause trouble.
As for whether she knows all the details thereof, it seems like a coin flip as to whether it's a blind trust or not.
Oh? This should be interesting.
To be honest, seeing that artwork at first had my expectations set a little differently... Then I remembered Liriel's kinda dead. Whoops.
Still though, I think this could be an interesting chapter. Maybe she actually came around towards the end? Who knows, only time will tell. (And Jocelyn, of course.)
Aww this cover looks so sweet! Books haven’t made me cry before, but I’m sure this one will. Also, another one of my friends came out to me :) (I have a lot of queer friends lol) I just wish I had the courage to come out to them :(
And that's another years old piece of media I have caught up to in a few days. But man been so long since I've done it with a webcomic instead of Manga.
And felt the need to make an account to say how much I like this.
With this being the penultimate chapter of Rain
I wonder if the final chapter will do a time jump to present day (it's August 2013 in the story so a 8 or 9 year time jump would be really cool)
As for this chapter I look forward to all the feels and more
This story is one of the reasons I was able to come out and be myself
Ironically I found the comic in 2012 around chapter 11 (specifically the closet page lol)
Thank you Jocelyn for giving us this amazing story and sharing your personal journey
I look forward to seeing the incredible ending you have in store
Kind of free associating on the "deceased character" (which I assume is Rain's mom):
I wish that topic could be a "hard read" for me. When my mother died, I felt no grief at all. She'd been a fake mom my whole life, and I'd been grieving the absence of the mom I wished I had pretty much since I was about 15. I know it's dumb, but I kind of envy the people who had a parent (or parent-like entity) who they were close enough to for their death to tear a whole in their lives.
But I was sad for my mother that she had spent her whole life faking at relationships rather than actually living them.
Children does'nt know what they have before 18 but can "touch" it only at 18?

For Money, with Aiken and Kellen adults, she can have a clue.
Death is a way to hit my soft spot so I might cry reading this. A happy cry at least.

(And Jocelyn, of course.)[spoiler]I want to make sure spoiler tags work before I say anything.[/spoiler] But of course that isn't conclusive.
Rain looks so much like her mom...it's awesome...
