I screwed up the perspective on this page, but at least I'm trying. ^_^; I'm sure I'll improve with practice. This chapter was originally titled "Thief in the Night," but it sounded too Biblical.

I tried plain sepia tone for the "memory flash," but I didn't like it, so I went with this. I kinda like this technique, but I might tweak it a little. I'm sure it won't work for long flashbacks, but for the purpose of this chapter, it gets across the feeling I want.

One more thing, you really should check this out. Seriously. Just click it. I'll wait.

blntmaker & LanceDanger: It's a shame he chose criminal activity instead of the stage!

DAJB: Wouldn't surprise me.

Anubis: No matter how convincing he is, what Seiko heard contradicts the story.

amanda: He keeps the cheap stuff in the guest rooms – in case a fight scene breaks out. XD

Peipei: Not sure there's much of a "plan," but she wants to do something, and a direct confrontation would put her at a disadvantage.

JustNoPoint: But she needs her glasses to see! I draw them last, so it shouldn't affect her face shape. Hopefully it's just a coincidence. I changed my "face style" in that chapter and the last half just happens to have her sans specs. Maybe all the sketching I do to put of drawing UB pages is paying off. ^_^ – And you think that's what men are always looking at! (Maybe they are… You'd know better than I.)

n_y_japlander: o.o Mmmmm…

Tantz: I'm glad they pulled off the intended effect. ^_^

ghostrunner: We might be too late. – Glad to see you back. I hope you're feeling better.

patrickdevine: Perhaps so. Raidon might be satisfied that she doesn't know anything and believes him. Depends on whether his arrogance is stronger than his caution – and Seiko's acting abilities (she lost it for a second, but did he see?).
