Back to regular watercolor - goodbye ye pencils!
.
Little background for those who haven't read (or don't remember) backlog pages. Kimber Lee has had this no-sleeping problem for a while (first mentioned back on page 33). It has basically existed since her first ‘dream-healing’ healing therapy session (pg 10). The few times she has ‘slept’ were the results of getting knocked out by the ‘thing’ inside her, or a general ‘blackout’ while her body heals from massive injury (pgs 114-115), and even then she has a subconcious awareness of what's going on ‘outside’ (pgs 73-74).
.
And she's getting casually confident with her gymnastics and jumping. As mentioned at the beginning of the chapter, she's used the time here wisely.
.
And so she plans to leave. Think she can just walk away from all the drama built up over these pages…? Yeah right!
.
Oh, and astute readers may wonder why the house has 3 stories here where other views had 2 stories. This is the back of the house - it's sorta built into a hill. 3rd story is covered up in front.
.
Thanks for reading everyone :)

Edit: I changed the text in the last panel to make so Kimber Lee is merely pondering leaving very soon instead of it looking like she's heading off right now, wearing just sleeper undies. Cuz that's what's she's really doing, thinking about it - I should know; I'm twelve pages ahead haha

@Plymayer: Well... she hasn't actually left yet. Still time for something (or someone) to stop her ;)

After she practically begs to stay there, and they just start to accept her there, she is going to leave? Shame she can not just kiss and make up with Socorro.

Clearly I didn't do the text right in the last panel, so I changed it. Kimber Lee is merely thinking hard about leaving, but I can see that it totally looked like she was planning to run off, wearing just her sleeper clothes. Well, she's not leaving this very moment (I know because I already have the next 12 pages written) so I changed the text to better reflect her musing (hard) about it, but I can safely say we're not done with the Socorro Saavedra Saga yet - sorry for the confusion.

Hmmm so where does she go from here? Wherever the trail takes her, I hope she can manage alright.

@banes: Thanks! yeah I tried hard to make the night scene look really... Nighty...? :P

Amazing work on the house. Kim's looking pretty darn fit, too. The page is very moody and feels like the wee hours.

@bravo1102: haha you'd think - it'll make more sense next page...

I agree with her maybe it is time but shouldn't she bring some shoes and a change of underwear? Maybe a sandwich?
