hey, look, it's an update that isn't obscenely close to midnight.
this comic will be ending in 1 or 2 pages, depending on how the last part of this shakes out. the ending is scripted, like some other bits were.
i mentioned i was considering not including the part where keshet points out outis's all-or-nothing thought process here, but ultimately left it in. one of the big reasons i like this pair is because they are both old enough and immersed in media production that they have to be fairly self-aware in general.
in particular, invoking therapy jargon as banter is something i don't think many of my other characters could reasonably do in their dynamic, because not many of them have had extensive therapy. keshet, however, has, for a personality disorder specifically, where a lot of jargon is memorized.
