I like this page. The art does what I want, and I love it narratively. Valentine is usually calculated, and this arc itself seems somewhat out of character but really just a different facet of his character. Normally he would have bailed early on when his plan deviated, but his frustration and impatience has overcome caution. He has become “goal-oriented” and lost the plot.

Also, Seiko's lack of subtlety brings me joy. (I now realize my long non sequitur story with her parents was a super helpful writing exercise for understanding her character. I reread much of it this week for inspiration.)
