Author Notes:
Do hope that everyone enjoys it though, is certainly a fun visual. Doesn't give me a whole lot to say about it admittedly.

Very, very interesting, wonder what's going to happen next.
The last panel is meant to just be a picture Jake's taking with his phone, that's why there's no dialog. It's just the image. Jake never smiles, but it always feels really obvious when he's happy, and that's what's going on here. I wanted a moment to just show him taking a small step to show he was happy with things, including just snapping a picture on his phone. It's exactly the sort of thing a proud parent might do, he just wants a moment to be able to reflect on it.
At one point I actually WAS considering giving Jake a mini-speech about how the kids should be proud of what they've done, but no matter how much I toned it down in my head, it felt out of character for him to congratulate them directly. Just reflecting on the moment to himself was sort of all you needed.
I threw that Dragon statue into this square just for a bit of flavor, tried putting it in whenever I get breathing room since these pages are being drawn close to the cuff. I did NOT expect it to be coming out now, but works great here. Party in front of the statue! Yeaaaaaah!
