uploading this strip from the directory, it was real easy to fish out of the surrounding sea of orange and yellow
Yes! Like, they can joust at each other’s level and it works for them, it’s a fun dynamic.

They can go on like this for awhile

Knowing Mike is dead would gnaw at Ethan- but so would knowing he’s alive and in witness protection. And the former would at least offer closure, or he could talk about it with say therapists. Even with confidentiality, if it’s the latter he might feel like he can’t even talk about it with a therapist. Having a secret like that he can’t even tell his friends who are suffering guilt (like Amber, who he’s been through a ton of stuff with) would be heavy.
And say it was that. Booster’s well meaning efforts, and feeling they’ve really got Ethan’s number and figured it all out must seem like comedy. “You’re sure you understand, but you really, really don’t.” We’ll see what Booster’s deduction level is over time I suppose.

Well, they spent the whole day together, so that's something.

Are they having this conversation beneath a street lamp because the light is better there?
But seriously, we've dropped in on their interaction at several points, establishing that they've been at it all day and far into the evening. Ethan is having much-needed interaction, and Booster has a much-needed Big Project—maybe they can stop regarding *everyone* as a Little Project (fingers crossed).
The not-quite-deep-night coloring and lighting is wonderful.
Am I imagining that Ethan is being drawn as less gaunt?

I like Booster a lot more now, I'm keen to see their future development. They're flawed but self-aware and they have good intentions underneath all the awkward psych student tendencies.
