Someone should really tell him he's psychologically torturing the child.

I don't really know how I'm gonna go about with that backstory there. I do have a horribly screwed up child planned, but I don't think it would be the one he's talking about.

I could always reuse the boy who was replaced by Melody. But not anytime soon. Not in Mel&Mac.

Anyway, isn't everybody glad that Melody's back in her old outfit? Pigtails and ribbons… that damned sweater… her usual skirt… and her scarf. Backpack to hold… um… I guess her pajamas, haaa.

Artist Mistake #1: I forgot to draw the path in the first two panels.
Artist Mistake #2: I should have probably opened the gate a bit.
Artist Mistake #3: I should have done something to show that there are STEPS where Melody (and Ace?) are standing.

At least the backwards "Elysian Fields" seems… ALMOST correct.

Intentional Change: I lightened the shading on Melody and Ace so they stand out more against the background.

At any rate, I hope everybody's enjoying this more than I am. Each Act tends to end rather depressingly.
