I do think it's good for Rain to get this out but the timing could have been better. It's going to be a really awkward or bad night. I'm pretty sure Emily is going to make it clear that she's in no position to be in a relationship. Hopefully Rain is understanding about the situation, though.
Did we skip a page? I figured Fara wouldn't object to Emily staying over, but I would've thought we wouldn't get home that quickly. Good pages, but the scene change was just really abrupt.
I agree, the transition was a bit wonky. It took me a few seconds to realize they were back at the apartment. Might have been nice to have another clue, like a panel of the building at the start, or a "panel-fade" effect like One Piece uses to segue into flashbacks.
One, they're not getting together. It's too convenient and easy after everything else... This has been set up to crash and burn. I think that even if Emily is into Rain, there's just too many complications at the moment.
Oh, and two?
Friday will totes be a scene change. What wacky hijinks are Rudy and Gavin up to?
I am so happy to see Rain finally admit it, but sadly I don't think Emily will accept it yet. Right now she has WAY too much on her plate, she's not in a good place for a romantic relationship.
Romantic partners can be great for support, but at this stage in the pregnancy "support" would make up the majority of the relationship, especially after Emily's pregnancy is made public. It would overshadow all other aspects of their relationship, and that's not good when it's just starting. It wouldn't be fair to Rain to start dating now.
From what Emily said to Maria I think she realizes this. What she needs most right now is support, and she knows Rain will still support her as a regular friend, so it would be safer to wait for the worst to pass before making any major decisions.
o m g I am squealing and bouncing and hyper right now. I hope it is finally happening, honestly I cannot handle ANOTHER one of my reads having the main ship that like each other just reject because of complicated reasons. That is all that is happening in all my reads right now, all but 1.... because there is no ships in it.... if this turns out like the rest i am so gonna wait a few months to continue reading..... seriously whats with all the good comics having these moments within the last couple months? and honestly they all been rejected (and everyone knows they will end up dating in the end) just for complicated reasons and things (well the 1 had a pretty good reason.... you don't ask someone out just after they dump someone XD like seconds later)
Everyone seems to either expect Emily to flat out reject Rain, or for them to live happily ever after together. I feel like Jocelyn enjoys her plot twists, and am wondering what plan C might look like. This ship has been set up too perfectly for such a cookie-cutter conclusion.
I commented as guest a few minutes ago, i just figured i'd post again to say that your comic is so fun to read that i finally bit the bullet and got a comicfury account :)
I just started reading this series because I'm trans and someone close to me told me about it, I read like the whole series really fast and just got caught up and this is an amazing page and I can't wait to see Emily's reaction
noooo this is like the worst possible time to tell her that... like if you're Letting Someone Stay At Your House For Safety you really really shouldn't say something like that cause it puts them in a position of having to consider "will they kick me out if i turn them down?" and just generally adds a lot more pressure to the situation...
I felt bad about that timing for this reason too. I mean, it's totally believable for Rain to not think about that aspect of it, and she's certainly not doing it manipulatively, but... yeesh. Poor Emily.
I wonder what Emily would say...
Now the next page should be interesting...

I feel bad for the Rainily fans, because this is not gonna go well
