Chap. 4, pg. 12: Powernap
Learning moment from this page: Reworked the dialogue on this page, partially because I realized fundamentally what Paolo was proposing, so he and I got to have that realization together. Also, leaning into body language. And badly drawing snakes. Thank God I didn’t make Paolo the giant spider the original draft had him as, but snakes are not all that much easier to draw.
The fun of this page: Jona has legit forgotten that the spider is in the pack and should be transferred to Paolo. Paolo couldn’t figure out how to bring it up, because he’s caught between Cecily and Jona and is pretty stressed about decision-making in general.
Wow… Jona is being pretty cold. But also it makes sense… In their mind it’s like all the souls of all the lost, vs. a townful of people who might die anyway.
