Oh! So, it's not empty!

A lot of people called the letter (though, the header accuracy varies), but I was actually surprised to see no one call the ribbon (as far as I saw). I always meant for it to be a prominent feature on Liriel; even when we can't see her face, the ribbon itself tends to remain in view . But in hindsight, maybe it didn't pop as much to most people due to Liriel only appearing so rarely, and only in colorless flashbacks (comicking lessons I'll take into future stories).

As a fun fact: Going way back to the original fantasy concept for the story, Rain used to always wear a purple ribbon in her hair as a keepsake of her late mother. Sure enough, it's there , and even in super old art , it was just always a staple of Rain's design back then. I know not everyone's seen that old art, but I still wondered if those old drawings would give this away. Anyway, when I changed the story to be slice-of-life, I took the ribbon away from Rain, feeling it might seem an odd look in a modern "real world" setting. Some part of me always regretted that, though, so it's nice to see it return to Rain after all this time.

I wonder if Liriel was really giving it as a gift, though, or if it was just something nice that was lying around and could be used to tie up the box.

Anyway, next time: the letter!

(Also: You may want a box of tissues nearby for the entirety of next week!)

Last week, I had three our of four of my back molars pulled. Once again, much thanks to all of you who've donated to or shared my GoFundMe to help make this possible. Unfortunately, this is still not the end. It's a big step, but my mouth still needs a lot of work. So don't forget, you can still help right here at this link.
