Description As "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" plays, 1 thinks about 8 and 15 and realizes too late that they were the closest thing he ever had to a family. Then he realizes he did absolutely nothing to try and save them.

I was listening to "Gomenasai" by t.A.T.u when I saw this and started crying while singing the song.

I actually know that song, and it is very sad and fitting for this. I'm glad you liked the picture that much.

This is beautiful. I love the unspoken sadness you portrayed in 1. You captured his feelings of loss quite masterfully. I support the idea 8 was like something of a son to 1, but I don't think he realized it completely until he lost 8.

Poor guy. Sure he's hard on the outside, but there's a heart in there somewhere, if you're willing to look.

Thank you very much. 1 did seem to take 8 for granted, especially with calling him an "illiterate cretin" right in front of everyone, but 8 was always loyal to him anyway. And 1 did look pretty troubled when 9 told hm the Seamstress took 8. It's so sad.

Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don't you know you might find
A better place to play
You said that you'd never been
But all the things that you've seen
Will slowly fade away

So I start a revolution from my bed
'Cause you said the Brains I had went to my head
Step outside the summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger
I heard you say



-Oasis, Don't Look Back in Anger

If you set to a song called `Memories` by Within Temptation, some parts seem to fit `All of my memories keep you near` that's from the song

You know, I have that song on CD and the connection never occurred to me. Within Temptation is such an incredible band! Everything they do is so epic and emotional!

Awwwww that's so heartfelt, especially since it's coming from 1's point of view. I love how you've interpretated the fact that he really did care about them, and now that they're gone he feels nothing but regret. I suppose you don't know what you really have til it's gone...how Emmi put it. 8D Lovely emotion portrayed from each panel, great work!

KRRouse In reply to Lily-pily [2009-12-13 18:16:09 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much!

I figured 1 thought highly of 8 for being so loyal to him, and he probably tolerated a lot of 15's silliness because she made 8 happy.

So true, what you and Emmi said about not knowing what you've got until it's gone. At least they all get to be together again in the end.

15 must be sad for 8 getting his soul sucked out of him. i feel bad for her.... 1 has relized it...

KRRouse In reply to DarkOliver [2010-03-15 06:06:15 +0000 UTC]

Well, 15 isn't much better off than 8 by this point, so at least they're together again. She's basically a wake-up call for 1's conscience in the story.

Awwwww. This is such a sweet piece. I love all the different little panels you came up with to show the trio's bond with one another. Just so adorable. I love 1's annoyed expression as 15 plays with the little bell on his staff. Hahahaha XD And the piggy back ride 8's giving 15 is sooooooooooo cute! And 8 defending 1 looks wicked awesome as well. I love it. I espicially love how you gave a light gray kind of shadow/backround to the top three images/memories too; gives the piece more depth. 1 looks so depressed on the bottom panel. Sometimes you gotta lose something in order to realize how truly valuable that something is. or... however you say that. XD Hahaha I love thisss. Really nicely done. ....as always. I love it!

Thanks!

I think the panel with 8 and 15 turned out the best, but my favorite is the panel with 1 and 15. He might be annoyed that she's playing with the bell, but he's still letting her do it.

Glad you like the gray backgrounds. I wanted to give the memory images a cloudy look so they'd look different from the drawing of 1 at the bottom, but I wasn't quite sure how to create that effect.

And poor 1. He's done so many horrible things to keep the group safe, and all it did was cost him the two people he cared about most.

You're welcome!

Totally agree. And I'm rather surprised 1's letting 15 play with the bell....for a little bit at least. 8D;; Hahahaha

I say mission accomplished. All there is to it.

And yeahhh. Even though he's a freaking jerk the majority of the time, gotta love him anyways. It's just a saddd sad life he had.
