9 pages!!! Well... 8,75 - READ 'EMFor a better impact on the first page, it’s probably best to reread a few pages from the previous update!The “I thought he was going to devour me too... But the next morning, I was still alive” really reinforces the idea that the boy still had a child’s mindset at that time, convinced the monster would swallow him too. I really love that!

God, these pages tortured my brain-I already showed so much in the previous ones, I couldn’t repeat anything. Not in the text, not in the visuals. And the text especially got rewritten so many times! At first there was a lot of it, then I cut it down drastically. I really hope it still feels natural... On top of that, I had to be super careful with the nuance of what the boy says. Every single word mattered. It was rough.

But I wanted to cut the drama a bit short. Chapter 16 was already pretty dark, it needed some lightness!The Sims idea is actually really, really old haha! I just never took the time to include it. I kept wondering what I could show without getting into legal trouble, but then I realized that if I couldn’t show the plumbob, there was no point showing anything at all. I think it works better this way anyway!

Also, I’m kinda wondering if anyone has recreated these characters in the Sims gallery?? That would be so funny!

I’m not totally happy with the shot choices on these pages. I knew I wanted the boys physically close, something naturally intimate, the boy curled up against Tera because he’s excited to share his game and just feels comfortable. At first he was supposed to be leaning against Tera from the very start of the scene, but then I thought showing him transition from one pose to another and snuggle closer would make a difference. It adds intention to the movement. Am I crazy for thinking about it-

I still need to find a word for that duality I’m always talking about, between interactions that feel “organic” and expressive, and ones that feel more factual or just visually functional haha. And here I feel like it often falls into the second category ;_; something’s missing, but it’s always hard to say what exactly (would be too easy!) It’s a tiny nuance. I think I’ll make a post just to explain what I mean lol.But that’s just me being picky. I know most people would already like it! I hope you do-

Also, I don’t love the repeated layout on the last three pages. Small panels around one bigger pose of them together, mostly because I always enjoy drawing that kind of pose so I want to show it... but something else probably would’ve been more effective! Well, I’m tough on my own work here lmao-

Hope you liked the pages!

I need to make another chit-chat post btw, I really need your thoughts!!

Kisses 💛

what the fuck did I just see??? I want MORE. NOW. The boy sitting between Tera's legs???like in the scene with the motorbike?? "It looks like i'm flirting with you," the boy said after moving Tera's leg over to sit in the middle. He knows EXACTLY what he's doing. Anyway, Tera still has a hole in his belly, right? Can't the boy, like, put something on him? Also so he doesn't get blood on his bed...?Tera is staying over, RIGHT???You can see Tera's eyes here too, I LOVE IT. "Don't give me that look." The boy knows Tera now and can read his expressions despite the mask. And seeing the boy look under the bed as a child reminded me of when he did the same thing the morning after hiding Tera under the bed. So cute. We all know what happens after that last picture, right?I hope the boy lies on his side on the bed with one arm across his chest and falls asleep like that. Sooner or later I would like to read something like "my hands seem made especially for your hips"(ok, i came back in my horny jail)( Baby boy Is sooooo cute. I would like to see baby Tera too)Sorry for this stream of consciousness, but there's so much to say, and it's only 9 pages!!! Pico you are Amazing 💙

C Borger

Stop their so cute. Also when did we get a new bonus comic about Joris? Its hilarious

Pam Freitag

Yaaah! I love the way they are in these last panels it was amazing OMG! And the way you draw is so expressive, it's always wonderful to notice so many emotions in Tera even though he's wearing a mask.

Jelimel

they stepping up the flirting game and I'm SOOO READY FOR IT! also, not Tera being so attentive to the fact that the Boy needs the light on, I cannot with the level of intimacy and cuteness that keeps on growing >ww< on another note, I feel the Boy's level of anxiety right to my chest. As a person who suffers of anxiety and night terrors, well done on portraying the whole of it. It's well on point. Can't wait for the next update ♡

Teadolls

Thanks for the sims moment, I was laughing alone in the street ❤️ le garçon est comme ton publique, il peut pas s’empêcher de rêver de spicy entre eux deux hahaha

Prettybaby

The shot choices are perfect! I loved all the pages. The intimacy is sooo good and yet so natural it gives butterflies! 😍 I’m obsessed with your work. It’s like you can sense and feel every touch between them. Every touch is intentional. Everything is so detailed and beautiful. I keep checking everyday for new pages even when I know you haven’t posted any lol. I can’t help it I need more moments with them! P.s I love the transition to the boy sitting in between Tera ❤️. You made the right call.

OH MY GOD BOY'S NARRATION ALWAYS KILLS ME, HOW IS IT THIS GOOD AND IMMERSIVE?? Their interactions are good in my opinion, but i get what you mean author. I think the reason something feels missing is because these pages focus specifically on their developing intimacy instead of the boy and the wolf as a whole and sacrificing their smaller personal details in the process, which may be the thing that gives it the "functional" feeling? Like i'm not saying this is because they are closer now, but i think it might be missing a bit of how Tera and Boy specifically would navigate this relationship, therefore making it lose a bit nuance and fall flat for a few storytelling nerds. I personally love your writing and it inspires me greatly. I don't know if i was able to explain it properly, hope i don't sound rude, my english is not that great and i think it makes me sound ruder than i intended ^^' That's just a theory tho. Big fan, drink lots of water!

Mo

J’adore Tera qui allume la lumière 💡 Attraper l’ordi -> ouvrir, montrer immédiatement son jeu -> se mettre plus à l’aise avec lui, c’est une transition/suite d’actions qui fonctionnent, ça fait très naturel je trouve ! L’idée des sims est hilarante, c’est aussi hyper cute de faire un colocation avec les 3, même si l’un est techniquement un fantôme 😌 Trop hâte de voir la suite 🤍

valentina

Omg not Boy drowning Tera in the pool 😭😂

Elanor

It was and '"""accident.""''

catinashack

oh and the boy crawling into Tera's lap is *chefs kiss* how he wants to be closer to Tera now, the comfortable-ness, the casual-ness, so much portrayed with a single gesture And the similar panels give the scene a sense of stillness and chill :]

Michael

I can't believe we got Sims-Tera having some good action before real-life Tera does. Let's be honest: the boy planned that shit. Getting two Sims to like one another is not done in 5 seconds. So he did plan on having that outcome. I just wonder if it is the boy's subtle way of giving Tera a hint...

logan

God their build up always crushes my heart in the best way possible. I loved the slow move around tera that the boy does and it does feel like a natural progression from floor to lap to show his game. It's something I know I've done and I love how you can tell the level of comfort they have in each other through such subtle things. Tera being willing to do whatever to just chase away some dreams and fear though I'm already having inclings on the 'horned ahadow' somethings feeling very forshadowy with that. I may just be making far too big a leap tho. God and I'm just so stuck as I always am on their closeness/intimacy. The trust and care they have between them can almost be felt as a physical thing.

Call me by sash

I love it! For me the part when Tera says ‘WE’ll keep a light on’ and not just  ‘YOU’ll keep a light on’ seems like a small detail but it shows that he wants them to be a « us » and considering tagging along with him and that’s really cute, the sims part is so funny, kinda want to know how Tera would have reacted if his character was doing ‘it’ with Joris’s one 😂 merci pour ce chapitre ! 💕

evi

Thank you so much for the update. We’re in for a ride... P1. I think all of us can somehow relate to the monsters drooling under the bed. And while he looks panicked in the first three, the „checking under the bed“ panels somehow made me laugh because it’s so innocent and sweet. There’s clearly nothing there and even baby Boy understood, but his subconscious tells him otherwise - to this day! P2: I absolutely love the change from baby Boy on p. 2 to teen Boy on p. 3 - same angle, different age. P3: The Boy is analyzing it for Tera like the doc did on P2. But: Like something remembered wrong... Does he actually think that he remembered wrong? Also, the two bottom scenes: He just talks to Tera about how it feels, but then there’s the door behind him and the butterflies come alive. I love how this plays on all levels: past and present, real and surreal... P4: It wasn’t like this at first. So his very educated analysis goes on - leaves me wondering what changed, other than time? P5: Blushing Boy. I guess his real light right now does not come from the lamp, but wears a black shirt… And Tera knows it. Little detail: Tera’s bandage is missing here, isn't it? P6-7: I’m not a Sims person, so I had to read it twice to understand what’s happening here. But then it feels very natural - like a very Boy-ish thing to low-key kill Tera because he still found him an annoying nuisance back then... P8: …while it seems the Boy at the same time acknowledged that Tera was an awesome-looking nuisance when he created those pages…. „Looks like I’m flirting with you.“ Very matter-of-factly - Tera teases the Boy with it, but he doesn’t deny it. Funny scene overall, it really adds light(ness) after the butterfly-heavy panels before this. P9: Poor Tera - the Boy is jumping his bullet wound… Boy is really a handful, in every sense. Not that Tera would mind? I really feel the Sims part adds to the pace of the story - it adds depth to their interaction even if it does not progress the plot (from what I can tell - but we know we never know…). Something would be missing without it. Have a great weekend, everyone!

Claire

OMGGGGGGGG 🫠🫠🫠 This is so freaking cute awww 🥺 I love the last page, I have a big smile on my face rn !!

Elanor

I love your comments. I always enjoy reading them and seeing that you manage to express exactly what I was thinking and feeling. Mine are more of a stream of consciousness with no rhyme or reason.💙

Michael

Sure, just like the Germans having an extended holiday all over Europe in the 193s/40s.

Elanor

A very tragic accident

Ion

Tera’s hands on his waist 🤭

darkqueen

You need my thoughts? But you already wrote what i really need in the last line of the intro ;)

Salem

tera is in heaven rn

MJ

RIP boy's laptop. Great update! I love the growing intimacy between the two.

Moth

KFKSJSJSKAKS not them in the game going at it 😂 I love the embarrassment. And the foreshadowing of Tera’s death mayhaps?? Including water?? I choose not to look into anything too deeply 🙂‍↔️

Dee

Showing The Boy making the decision to crawl into Tera's lap was a better decision! Rather than just making the reader assume it was what he wanted, showing it makes us realize that not only does he want to be closer to Tera, he's the one initiating the contact. We know he feels comfortable around him, but not pulling away from someone isn't the same as pulling someone closer. These pages make it clearer to us. Thank you for some more great pages!

zpico

That’s a very good point! Thank you Dee ❤️

Elanor

wait, I reread the last chapter and image 33 where the horned one takes him by the head has changed

Chiro

The boy when he’s little…so precious omd🥹🥹

Elanor

I want see a little Tera too💙

Andrea

Oh my goood. I have LITERALLY never been happier that February is a shorter month :’) I personally think you did great with the organic but still intentional vibe. This comic makes me think of ballet in that way. Every move is unnatural and polished by hours of practice, but the performance looks so natural and smooth. Not sure I’m explaining it well though. It’s like an elevated version of reality?

moose

Kisses 😘 I loved the new pages, I love their physical intimacy and I love how much thought you put into it all, I don’t think you’re crazy at all and every piece of their physicality is extremely impactful and effective. I really, really feel it

moose

Also what I love about the Sims thing is that it shows how much Tera and Joris are on the boy’s mind and part of his inner world and view of his life

Elanor

Imagine if all the sketches where you see the three of them, like the last one, are actually them inside the Sims.🤯

LadyKya

I had to reread it three times to realize it was about The Sims... lol But I found it hilarious! I'm fascinated by the difference in size between their hands!! Can't wait for the next pages!!!

Katie Weedon

Love it! The Sims moment made me die! And the cuteness at the end! Also, the boy when he was youger is literally adorable!!!

The Movie Buff

I love the size difference between them

svdester

I have been waiting for this intimacy!!!! I love you for blessing us!!!!

Xicxv

I love how comfortable and close they get with each other, I can't wait for them to build the relationship even further and for Tera to trust the boy so much that he reveals his face to him, sjdbjs. Also those random moments in Sims 4 are so real. 😭

Mellowcat

(SORRY, this will be one long rant… again ^^’ ) Usually, the updates leave me a little “worried” for them. Anxious, about what will happen next, since – in some way – it is a constant downward spiral, because of Tera’s actions. Doing so much bad, just to make a change for the better. That’s an old story, almost a general law of nature. (The nature of Tera’s situation, his circumstances and the very limited options he has, entangled in deeds done as he is). He is cloaked in a lot of darkness himself. (Probably even more than the current obvious). This updated left me … calmer. It’s good to see them together like that, and one of those rare moments, where it is just laughter and innocent fun. Like when Tera was chasing the Boy, splatting water from the rain all over the place. Innocent fun. Usually, Tera is very… considerate and cautious when it comes to the Boy – may it be in good humor (commenting about the Boy’s exposed belly or making him sit in front of him on the motorbike) or actually out of worry (grabbing him while the Boy was running in the streets, asking for help, after Tom got shot by Teras gun which the Boy dropped after “bumping” his bicycle into Muta, or checking his palms after throwing the Boy across the rooftops while being chased by Muta’s thugs) or even going to the length of getting glowing paint to place the light of stars into said palms as stronghold against the darkness. When Tera did reach out to the Boy, it was either out of that worry in the face of a very real danger – or it was a subconscious impulse – like at Starcups, when Tera was reaching for him while on his way to get his special order, using the keycard… “anything with cash in it” (ch. 14, pg.36/43). In this chapter – it’s clear something has changed. Weeks seem like “a very long time ago” and – this time - when Tera was showing up at the Boy’s window, like he always did – the Boy actually voiced his worry. Enough so, that he even lost sleep over it. This time, it was the Boy worried about Tera’s safety. No joking. No brushing it off. No… qualifying that statement. That was what made Tera bow down (not just physically) and utter the words he might even extend to more than just the Boy’s worry. “I’m sorry”. Tera also got physical again, adamant to try and stop the Boy from panicking about his current health condition, aka bullet hole and soaking his shirt with blood. While Tera is thinking about how a drink the Boy would like might taste (“Knew it. That’s so you.”, Ch. 14, pg. 39/43) – the Boy is thinking about a world – a home – with the three of them… even if the big bully “accidentally” drowned in a pool. He even asks Tera if he liked the virtual place the Boy made for them! (And Tera does answer, without complaints!). The Boy was alone on his birthday, no classmates throwing a surprise party or blowing up his phone – Jo was texting, even though it wasn’t about the Boy’s birthday. Tera was the only one showing up for that purpose. (Well, that, and because he doesn’t like Jo dragging the Boy down the drain in his shady half-cooked schemes). So, not really a surprise that the Boy chose them to live with in the virtual world. He was very, VERY quick to call Jo “a friend” and even told his parents and brother about “his new friend”. This whole chapter has been about them becoming closer, Tera, finally no longer being attacked when showing up, and the Boy confiding into someone else, beside Lee. And never once did this progress feel rushed or forced or… out of character. As much as I love the light moments between them, the laughter; - the darkness and grain of reality by that very real and always present threat looming and casting its shadow is a must for me to fully enjoy the story, too. You can’t make that disappear, just to give them a moment. And I am thankful, that this is always there. After all, it is part of both of their worlds. Even when they merge. On a lighter note: they also seem to reach a new level of understanding… this simultaneous head tilt while watching the game characters going at it… (I scared the shit out of the cat, bursting into laughter without a warning, ch. 16, pg. 42/43) or the Boy’s statement “don’t give me that look” – I mean… talking like that to a solid mask… that only happens when you’re well connected! Tera doesn’t even mind that his character is obviously flirting with the Boy’s. I think, that mere fact is remarkable. It’s not even a topic of its own. It would be embarrassing for the Boy, either way. Because of the fact. Not labels or any social or political adherence. And that’s another aspect I adore and love about the whole story. It just is what it is. There is enough trouble in store for them. This doesn’t seem to be one. And that’s a huge achievement! With all the pain and hurt for the both of them… I wonder who was Tera saving there, by turning on the light. Just preventing the Boy from going deeper down that dark rabbit hole of memories, fear and terror… or also sparing himself, since – even if he may or may not have had a hand in that particular fire – he had a hand in the many since. After all, his latest killing spree was meant to prevent another very similar tragedy from happening for Laurent and his family. I guess, turning on the light at that very moment spared the both of them. I still think Tera is by far more entangled than it is currently obvious. Looking at the Boy’s photo of him and his brother… it might be a familiar face to Tera. And who knows, what else might surface and raise its ugly head out of the darkness of the Boy’s memories of that particular night. They didn’t call his survival of that night a miracle for no reason… and how often does that happen, a miracle?! Yeah, my thoughts exactly.

Elanor

Yo Mellow, you're back, I was getting worried when I didn't see you in the last few posts. I'm pretty sure Tera had nothing to do with the fire because it happened long before he joined the black death (Jo says he and his brother left home 6 years ago while the fire happened 9 years ago). And rereading everything I think I understand why Tera looks at the photo. In the chapter 11 im 40/49 when the boy tells his past at Tera there IS the photo but it's face down, while now it's standing up.

Mellowcat

Huh? oh... 😳 Nah, no worries! 😁 You all just already mentioned what was on my mind, so there was no reason to add to that, but throw out likes to those posts instead. Hm, I am VERY bad at math (no, honestly, this stuff is my archenemy in life) but... as far as I understood: The fire happened when the Boy was about 10 yrs old. Which means, at the beginning of the Comic, 7 yrs ago. Tera is in his "early 20s" now, (to quote a post from Pico from Sept. 2022, "between 21 and 23"). He and Kain ultimately dropped out of school when they were around 16 yrs old/young. I think their age around that time when the fire happened was...: Tera – 14-16 The Boy – 10 Kain – 15-17 Jo – 12 And by my comment about the Boy's brother being a familiar face to Tera - I think it's possible, that Tera and Kain both knew the Boy's brother, since he was significantly older than the Boy. And... he knew about that black cross, appearing on their door. He wasn't pleased to see that... to say the least. Maybe he had relations with the gang. (Oh well, just guessing here). 😅 ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Elanor

That's right, the boy turned 18 (finally legal) and from the drawings from the psychologist you can see that the oldest one is from when he was 10 years old. We don't know how long ago the nightmares started but at least 8-9 years ago. And Jo says that his brother and Tera are the same age and left 6 years ago when they were 16. Tera and Kain are about 22/23 and Jo is about 19/20. But that's precisely why Tera hadn't joined the BD yet, but I think he's starting to feel the weight of his actions and feels indirectly responsible. He's understanding what he and the others are doing and the victims they leave behind (Kain talks about it on the roof but is happy about it). I believe that the boy's brother had business with BD (at the time perhaps there was only Luc) and by not having paid the debt he was punished. I think Tera looked at the photo because when he saw it (maybe) the last time (chap 11 im 40/49 it was face down. and the boy after talking to him about his past decided to raise it. And Tera perhaps looked at It with a mixture of surprise and curiosity, he wanted to see what the boy was like as a child when he was still happy and carefree, free from nightmares.

zpico

Hey guys!! :D I was reading your exchange last time and now, about all those maths and Tera’s involvement haha! Honestly, it’s fascinating and so rewarding to see readers this invested, catching the tiny details and weaving everything together!! Your analysis and interpretation actually made me doubt the information I’d scattered around haha. Your math is right, but there’s a bit of intentional “vagueness” in the timeline. I left myself some wiggle room on purpose, just in case, and that’s what kinda throws you off! First of all, I have to admit I don’t even remember if I ever clearly stated Tera’s exact age when he joined Black Death... I feel like the only time I anchor things to a specific date is in Chapter 9. I remember deliberately choosing to mention Jo’s age instead of directly stating Tera and Kain’s, precisely to keep that little margin of error haha. In Chapter 9, when Jo says “6 or 7 years ago,” he’s answering the Boy’s question, “Since when haven’t you seen your brother?” not “Since when did he become a Black Death.” (I totally get how that’s confusing though. That’s probably something I should’ve clarified better.) I think the confusion mostly comes from the line “the first few weeks, he came back (…)”, because he does say “but as time passed, he stopped passing by” It’s actually implied that there’s a gap between when the two boys run away and when Jo completely stops seeing his brother. Those two things don’t happen at the same time. Jo and Kain stay in touch for a while, and only later, once his brother gets consumed by Black Death, does he fully drift away from him! That gap is what gives me a bit of flexibility so everything can still fit together. Honestly, at this point we already know Tera is directly involved in the fire! But your discussion is really interesting. And if it feels this confusing, then yeah… I probably need to tweak a line or two of dialogue! Love your comments guys <3

Mellowcat

Omg, Pico... I only feel half bad that this ongoing discussion made you step in eventually! 🤣 In all honesty though, thanks for giving that additional confirmation/information. It's not like it wasn't there already or too hidden to catch on - but like you said yourself... there is some room for guessing and filling in the blanks. Now I got one more precious puzzle piece 😊

Elanor

mmm I don't know Rick... I mean, it's your story so you know😅 hahah. But if it's certain that Tera was there then I think he was there to "learn" and that maybe looking at the photo he was trying to remember if he had already seen the boy's Brother. I mean, the fact that Tera was DEFINITELY there I go back to my old theory that the horned is Tera or Kain (you have to imagine my room with all the red wires connecting things). math left the chat ages ago 😅😅

Elanor

Ok, on patreon Jo says " a few weeks", but on tapas he says " a few YEARS". I reread everything periodically, so I KNOW I've read this age information somewhere. Or maybe I'm just crazy (which is possible). Some dialogues differ between Patreon and Tapas (I read on both, yes). Rereading now I noticed that the boy is ambidextrous (?) the first time he writes in the notebook he uses his left hand and when Tera arrives and is doing his homework he uses his right hand.

Lee-Chan-Tae

This feels like such a natural progression to their relationship. Trust has been built over time and it’s so sweet to see their little touches. The boy crawling into Tera’s lap is adorable. I can’t imagine someone like Tera has had many intimate interactions like this. Seems like the only skin ship he has revived is fighting or tender dates. I would love to see what is going on in both of their heads. I also adore that these two are finding companionship in each other. They are both so lonely even surrounded by so many people. I’m scared that this is the calm before the storm. I keep feeling like Black Death is going to find out that Tera is soft on this boy and blame him for Tera’s recent empathy. I’m biting my nails thinking about him getting hurt and Tera having to flip the whole city upside down to save him. Maybe I’m way off? I’m not good with reading into these things but boy is it sure fun! A beautiful delivery as alway, Z. Look forward to the next one. P.S. I have literally been sending this to people who aren’t into BL’s and explaining that it’s save for work and such a beautiful story with incredible art. Stay healthy!

Elanor

I agree with you! But for now let's enjoy this sweetness and lightheartedness, they deserve it. I finally received the invitation from AO3 (yay) as soon as I have two minutes I'll search you😅🥲

Lee-Chan-Tae

I’m trying and I absolutely love it. Really hoping to see a few more moments like these before the next round of anxiety! Also, I’m going to try my best to post the second chapter within the next day. It has seriously turned from a cute one-shot to a novel by mistake, whoops.

Elanor

I'd love to see Jo asking the boy to do some more robberies, maybe this time Tera will help, or supervise the work😂 or finally some time on the rooftops💙

Elanor

HI PICO! I FOUND IT! i don't know if you read It, anyway, cap 11 im 20 "i dropped out of school when i was 16". We have Tera age. Kiss kiss💙

Elanor

I was going crazy because I KNEW I read it. Love you😘

Julie

Oh my goddddddd Tera is so hoooooot

Vanessa Noga

I love how they are so comfortable with each other’s presence and touch by now dlwnsiwjw~ You portrayed it really well! 🧡

The Movie Buff

This is very intimate and Tera isn’t complaining

The Movie Buff

Is it me or when he said “you’re dead you’re a ghost now” I kinda got scared like that’s foreshadowing

moose

I was thinking that the info was intentionally vague so as to mask Tera’s involvement 🙂‍↕️ my “math” had Tera and Kain joining riiiiiiiiiiight around the boy’s fire, I figured either he joined directly after or it was one of his first tasks to prove his loyalty to Black Death. I’ve been enjoying the plausible deniability, especially because I prefer to pretend that Tera didn’t actually have anything to do with it (T.T)

Mellowcat

I always picture a scenario, where Kain and Tera left their home, to be out on the streets because of… what happened when Tera showed up on Kain’s doorstep soaked in blood. They partly had a good time and somehow made it. Too fast, too smart. But still, out in the streets. That perked Luc’s interest, and he finally cornered the two on a territory (the rooftops) both thought their domain. He took them under his wings, and at that time, Kain was still showing up at home, from time to time. He told Jo about their “new life” and what progress they made, running with Black Death, becoming stronger. Crossing one line after the other – and finally, to become a full-fledged member, being involved in something very personal. That fire. I think it was something out of the ordinary, even for Black Death, because the Boy went into witness protection afterwards – and there are just too many hints, linking the Boy’s brother to Black Death (one way or the other). He was the one, trying to get rid of the cross on the family’s door… to me, that’s somewhat remarkable, because in my head, he’s about the same age as Tera and Kain were around that time. Too young to try and get a loan from Black Death to start a business. Old enough to get into serious trouble on the streets. Maybe that night was an initiation rite for Tera and Kain – and maybe that marked the time, when they dropped out of school and Kain stopped visiting Jo, because their new “normal” didn’t need any further school, or everyday life. Jo never could keep up with them, even though they started out as a trio, playing videogames together. They truly became members of Black Death, running in different circles now, feared and on top of their game. Something like that wouldn’t just happen overnight. It’s a “slow“ process, certain steps, that lead to the inevitable first blood for the organization. For the cause. For the crew. For them. Downhill from there, so much, to the point that Tera was actually bored and spacing out, while they had that bank clerk on the rooftop, pleading for his life. Tera was the one who took as stash of cash and started the BBQ. Just an ordinary Friday evening with Black Death. For the same reason… I think it won’t take much longer, til Black Death takes action, cause Tera is not playing by their rules anymore. Good Boy Marco was a first sneak peek for what’s in store for someone, who thinks he can get out… and all that multiplied, because Tera isn’t just anybody – he’s a member. And to add up to that – there is history with Black Death and the Boy’s family. The very reason for Tera’s disobedience and – according to Kain – outright betrayal. The reaction will probably be cruel and thoroughly. What did Tera say about their reputation and street credit? Black Death wouldn’t let that slide. Luc wouldn’t. Kain wouldn’t! And the latter developed a very unhealthy obsession for the pain and fear of their victims…

Haven

Bahaha did the boy make them in the Sims and then rizz up Tera in game 🤣

Mary Beh

I love that we keep getting to see Tera’s eyes — he’s opening up more and more to the boy

I think Tera and Kain ran away from home and left school at the same time, that is, after the scene where we see Tera covered in blood. And I assume it was when he "killed what scared him," meaning his father. Unable to face the consequences of their actions, they ran away, lived on the streets, and were noticed by Luc. (Sorry, I just read the message.😅)
