If you remember back to Tai-ra's back story, she learned a lot of new and important things as she grew and changed, but I can't emphasize enough, the point that she never unlearned the lessons she learned as a child. She still firmly believes that her worth is based solely on what she can do for her master. Even her thoughts for the future, they center around aiding Nareth. She has no dreams of her own, she doesn't even really know how to dream, so she's projected it all onto him. She can't be important, so she'll make him important. …and so she's willing to make whatever sacrifice may be necessary.
I also love how quickly she went from "we" to "I," I don't think she was ever referring to shared problems, but has difficulty looking at herself as an individual.

I feel a little bad for Jaith too, I think he wants to speak out too, but can't…
…am I ruining all this for you? I should just shut up and let you guys analyze it on your own. Man, last week, it was all silliness, and this week, I'm all philosophical.

I'm really disappointed in the art on this page. It doesn't look how I wanted it to at all. Panel 2is terrible, I give myself a A for effort in attempting it, but a D in execution. and the last panel… This is an important enough page, I wanted it to be stunning. If I ever get the time (ha ha!) I may redraw it. It's important, dammit!
…but I won't waste regular comic time on it. New updates are more important.

Thanks for reading! See you next week!
