Ugh. I hate the panel layout on this page. It turned out to be a case of not being able to capture the picture in my head. In retrospect, I could have done it much better, maybe over two pages. (Bad, Vickie! Cramming in all the speech and thought bubbles!) I guess I got ahead of myself with this scene. I fixed it up a bit from the original (yes, it was worse). I think the decreasing font sizes really helped the effect of that last line.
Locoma: Need a tissue? This scene is pretty much over now. Like my new avatar? XD
LanceDanger: No one ever listens to the cat. -_-
ghostrunner: It's a hell of a timer.
n_y_japlander: Fudo is pretty messed up. Going to great lengths to be left alone with his madness.
Molly: Definitely not a nice guy… He's very difficult.
Peipei: Seiko slightly overestimated his humanity, I'm afraid.
dueeast: Thanks. This page isn't so great. I needed to keep the scene short but was having a major pacing problem.
JustNoPoint: Yeah, I wanted to focus on Seiko's reaction when she was stabbed. It was hard to get the angle to work. My friend Bethany was “shocked” at Fudo's actions in this chapter. “Really?” I told her “'Shocked?' What story have you been reading, Bethany?”
amanda: This might be their most candid discussion ever – though it took some extra effort on Seiko's part. :-/
trevor: Cameo? Fun. – Not that the dead can't have cameos, but we'll see what happens.
patrickdevine: It doesn't pay to help people who don't want help…

I wonder what she was trying to go for here...

Now Fudo's going to have to keep her alive long enough for a few more answers. Darn it! I wanted him to get to killing some more! But then again, I'm pretty evil like that so don't mind me hehe=p Great page. The dialogue really carries the fact she's barely hanging on, and as you said, the smaller text adds a LOT to the blackout at the bottom.

ACK what have I done!? Yeah the font helped the effect. This is getting really interesting :) :| :(

-- and she wakes up and it was just a Fudo nightmare! ...right? um, [i]right??[/i] Y'know, if she dies, just don't bring her back as a zombie (there's something about Seiko saying "Braaaaiiins!" that's just too disturbing for words). *paces nervously awaiting next page* ^_^

Oh crap! :X Seiko, stay away from the light xD Man, I really do hope she pulls through this one :s This is looking bad. Real bad. The taste of blood is never a good sign :(

I love this page! I love the passing out depiction in the last two panels.

(_ _) sniffles* that that b@stard!!!! I hope he comes to some sort of sense before she slips deeper..... wait.... did someone follow her cause she was acting strange at the store.....?!?!?!

Uh oh, she's fading! Either Fudo is lying, or he too has a bothced up memory 0_o
