Please don't stop reading yet.

So yeah… remember that time when Melody asked if she was going to die? And he denied it? He… kinda lied.

…And yet, didn't. At least… not after… um… well, he'll explain it.

I tried playing with a few hints regarding her condition throughout the series… feel free to spot 'em, they're kinda obvious when they do show up, like her obvious shortness, and… well, let's move on to happier subjects.

Art! I copypasted a bunch in this, which is good, because I really didn't want to do this page. It's not that it's too depressing for me - though it is - I've just been having a really crummy week. No proper sleep due to the dog barking and whatnot, plus I don't think bananas agree with me anymore. I really hope I didn't inherit my dad's allergy to 'em, that'd suck.

But yeah, I got it up. I should've added a bit more snow on Panel 4, I think. And it bothers me that it's a bit hard to properly do snowflakes around Death… they can be mistaken for his eyes.

Anyway, um… sorry. I'm proud of you folks who called it early on, though I gotta say I did consider not taking this route. It's kinda why I ultimately decided to save the orphans…
