Alright, here is page one of three for Thursday/ Friday's update. Not much to say here about the quality of the page, I am happy with it in general, but the view of the chasm seems… off to me somehow. Maybe it is because there are lit fragments of another floor in the foreground.

In any case, not a whole lot to explain here in terms of quantity, although quality might be a different matter. First off, Graduation Day. At first glance, it might seem contradictory that none of them remember Graduation Day and yet they kind of have a sense of what happened (such as Prime knowing what his mission is, the others knowing that Lockre put Prime in charge, etc.). It will be explained in more detail in time, but for now, I will just say that certain knowledge was 'hardwired' into each of the personalities. As for the changes Light mentions, they too will be explained in time.
The idea of 'not enough psyche' that Light mentions… It is not so much as Lockre's mind has holes in it or anything, but rather stems from the fact that he is basically in a coma. He is technically still alive, but his mind is pretty much beginning to break down after so long (about eight years now). It is not so bad that he cannot make a complete recovery if he comes out of it, but it is causing problems such as loss of memory. Since all of the other Lockres are intrinsically linked to the original, as Lockre loses parts of himself they do too.
