Aurora was always going to be a major part of this chapter; the two have consistently sort of... orbited each other, bumping into one another every time Insomniac showed up and having a connection. Now with the Insomniac planning to end his life, he decides he wants to see her one more time. Which is an easy matter when you're telepathic.
Really wasn't comfortable with the lineart here, but absolutely love the final result. Martin's work on the way Insomniac reaches out with his mind to speak to Aurora just looks so great; very happy with that effect.
Honestly, even that was a bit of a last-minute decision. Originally, since Aurora can teleport by transforming herself into light, was going to have her blink over to the house to try and help. That's why she gave the kids her number and asked for updates. Buuuuut would've had to have them call her, then explain what Insomniac had planned, then ask for the address, then teleport over and gaaaah. Yeah, easier to just have Insomniac reach out to her.
..... I really need to write it in that Insomniac takes that noose off. That's bothering me more and more.
What's funny is I kind of rushed my end of the page a bit. Certainly did some cleanup and played around with the effects and the like but was kind of trying not to put too much time into this one. Little goes a long way I suppose.
Think Adam kind of covered commenting on this one. Like he said, it is a bit rushed together, but this chapter's gone on for awhile as-is before really getting into the thick of things and there's still a good bit of ground to cover so I can understand kind of tweaking things in the name of expediency where possible.
