Alternate Lines:

Simon: "Are you crying?"
Ace: "What do I look like, a girl?"

Guess who's the real bastard here, and I'll give you a hint - it's not Simon, it's not Ace, and it's me.

In all honesty, Simon's question is from me, and possibly from some of the readers (maybe?) - if Samael is after Melody, use her to draw him in. Unfortunately, while (as stated) Ace is a bit of a jerk (I don't think I've given enough evidence of this as I should - maybe the sequel/spinoff), he does have morals, and refuses to put innocents in danger.

Though there is someone without morals, who… ah, nevermind.

Check it out! Back to some of my old tactics. I didn't feel like redrawing Panels 3 and 4, so I just copypasted and edited the mouths. I'm so lazy, woo. They look great though, since I got extra time to work on them. First two, not so much.

Lamps and chair, also, not so much. I've said before that I suck at furniture, but I really hoped I'd have done better with the lamp. It's a simple freakin' design, seriously. and HOW HARD MUST IT BE TO DRAW A CHAIR? I'm gonna start just sketching my couch, or something.

Pillows were last-minute. They suck too.

Originally, I was going to put Ace in front of the mirror, but I forgot it in Page 1, and I'm still too lazy to draw reflections. So I avoided it. I might show off later, though, for (soon) obvious reasons.
