This is kind of a weird page. I wanted to split up the team so that Rain could could go up against the "final boss" solo. So I gathered the antagonists of the story to make up the assorted gang members for the others to fight. Including Todd, Chase, Father Quenton, and even Aiken in some position of authority in the gang. Special mention goes to Todd and Father Quenton who haven't appeared in the comic in ages. You know, just in case you'd forgotten about them. I haven't.
Aiken's not really such a bad guy though, as you surely know since many of you have eased up on him after the last chapter. He just needs some sense slapped into him sometimes. ;P
j-eagle -> I don't think it's him, actually. Rain will win, that's for sure, but does he really fit in a nice dream? Rain doesn't seem to dream of him often, the nightmare was probably because the day before the con was tough.
There's Aiken's authority too... I don't think "he" would give him power, he left his family, after all. And another antagonist is yet to be seen.
Your guess is a possibility, though... Anyway, we'll see on Friday!
Now that I'm thinking about it more I think what would be really interesting is if the Big Bad wasn't who everyone knows it is and was instead Emily as she is a good personification of one of Rain's deepest anxieties
for the obvious angle the answer to who is the big bad there is only one person who was slightly menchened once that is big and bad in rains eyes.
for the emily angle it would be interesting if there were two versions of emily. the real emily being the princess and the social emily what she portrays herself as in public being the big bad. social emily is holding real emily captive.
although this is rain's dream and not emily's rain may feel that emily is holding herself back. and she may feel that is way she and emily aren't in a relationship
The big bad's identity seems pretty obvious now. Go, Rain!

hows that for a slice of life
