Week 215! (Patreon)

Second script of the month, for page 427.

Not only does this page more properly introduce Connor back into the mix (kind of the final one of the main cast of characters to make an appearance finally after the hiatus, besides Lupin but who cares about him :B ), but it also boots Kale out to go do that thing he does for a while until he goes and happens across Bruce in his arc that's happening right now. Time's fun.

The end of this page also hints at something that'll become more apparent and important as this arc with Campy goes on: Connor noticing how Campy is looking at Kale, and becoming concerned about it. A lot of people (maybe everyone) assumed/assumes that Campy kissing Kale in his dream was showing that Campy is in love with Kale, but it was in fact more abstract symbolism of Campy's jealousy and admiration of Kale and his relationship. Campy might have a small crush on Kale genuinely (who knows!), but it stems from seeing Kale and Eve work together and confide in each other so well, as he and Connor... don't, so much. This arc by the end will get that across more verbally and directly, but this page is sort of establishing and bringing that business up by having Connor notice the stare and getting worried and suspicious about it. Much like most of the audience, Connor will also slowly grow to suspect Campy has a genuine thing for Kale, and that'll help to springboard both the central conflict as the night goes on as well as addressing that issue upfront finally.
