Pages 464-468
Cayt: This was a really difficult sequence to get right but I am very proud of how it came out. Trying to get across that Kira can be scary, showing the different kinds of emotional turmoil the two are dealing with, and trying to get across what Cur has been wrestling with internally while also starting to bring down the Consequences Hammer™ was a difficult balance to strike. There's more to come, of course, but I'm very happy with this setup. Ari and I worked our butts off on it. Incidentally, happy 150th page of this chapter! @_@
Ari: And we begin to really see the full extent of the damage that this system has brought on the children of Treehollow. Tamberlane, like Cur, found herself alone, without a guiding hand of a parent, but unlike Cur, she found a safe place to land in Belfry. How might things have turned out differently if Cur was able to open his heart again? It's so hard to trust again once you've been betrayed. I'm so proud of this sequence and what's coming after it. And yes, happy 150th of this chapter!!!

Hey Caytlin? What about pages 472-474?
i paid for apricot tier andd its not showing page 469
Some very powerful storytelling here. It's awful what these kids went through. I look forward to more of the story being revealed about Tam's past and Cur's family who left (I hope we get to see this!). As always, love the art so much too.
Wow....these latest few pages are soo beautiful but also so......heavy....
Transformation bat
… I just hope a certain kitten has the brains to stay hidden…
Damn powerful scenes
Awww now we know why he acts the way he does
Ah, we're finally to the point where they lay all the blame on a scapegoat who survived it all. I call this the "victim blaming" arc. Woulda thought this would be happening to Tamberlane though. Did my cheeky remarks really elevate this kid to protagonist? Holy fuzzballs batman. Though damn, the gaslighting getting to Kira is harsh.
Oof. Oof. This argument hits reeeaaallyyy close to home for me, so good job guys. I mean that
GOD I've been looking forward to this confrontation and IT HITS SOOOOOOO GOOD WOWZA
