57:Passing Time

Author Notes
And now back to… Aunt Fara? Wait, what does this have to do with anything?

The story is evolving a little with Chapter 3. You may have noticed that the main cast is all divided now. Rain and Maria have just entered the book store together. Rudy is waiting for Gavin to have a “man-to-man talk” elsewhere at the mall. And then we have Fara, who is left to her own devices at the moment. For the first time, we’re seeing the story go in multiple directions all at once (I did cut around before, but everything was basically related then). In a way, we’re going to be seeing three different stories going on at once here (which has a lot to do with the segmentation in the chapter page; wink, wink) so I hope you all enjoy what’s to come.

Our move back to Fara here is mostly transitional, but it has relevance thanks to her “pity-party monologuing”, and it is kinda funny (I mean, who HASN’T been in this situation before?). Plus, the livingroom in panel 2 may be the spiffiest looking background I ever did draw (nevermind that it’s still hardly a masterpiece).
