Drawn by Mlai. Lettered by DigitalCAPS. Top page banner coloured by Whirlwynd. This ends chapter 3: Turn For The Worse. Read the companion series FIGHT 1; each story follows a group of characters in the same world. Now it's clear that the previous page's slow tempo was an intentional lead-up to this page. I employed the classic horror movie "stalked from behind" camera method for the last 3 panels of the previous page, but it was subtle enough that you probably don't notice.
The singing was deliberately used to pace the last 3 panels to hopefully achieve that stalking effect. The song itself isn't gratuitous. As in Fight 1, I chose the song to fit the story. Danny Boy also happens to be foreshadowing (don't worry, y'all will forget all about what I just said here by the time we get there).
The guy with the knife is Hanno, the normal dude in chapter 1 (in case you can't tell). When I do certain dramatic close-ups, like in Fight 1, I throw away anime conventions and call upon my American comics training. In this case, Clockwork Orange eyelashes yo~~
