Drawing Duane on the ground on this page and the previous ones made me so sad. He feels truly dead and put to rest, and it made me reflect on what that living man's life was, what he accomplished, and all he missed out on by dying so young.

Our Duane is still around of course, but he finally feels truly severed from his family, his old life, and everything he lost. He's still highly motivated to help his people, but the old pain isn't standing in the way any longer of him living in the present, and reaching out to people.

So Duane's now both more dead and more alive than he's ever been in Unsounded. It's bittersweet, to me.

Ah, enjoy this calm dark page. We're going back into the heart of Port Morstorben for a while and it's all blue khert fire and red eels and magenta Anadyne heart and it's a cluster.
