Ahhh the shading.. The lighting.. The water effects! Beautiful, as always!

Great effects with the rain, and the detail of a drenched Paul and Gem. I can hear the torrential downpour!

now kiss and give him cooties

Awww, Paul, such a sweetie

Trust can be a difficult thing to develop, especially when all the people you trusted in life ended up pushing you away.

I read ahead a couple of pages from the original, I can hardly await the next page^^

I think the changed dialogue is a massive improvement! it reads really well and I love Paul's expression in the last panel 🥰

Oh they should just kiss already or spill the beans, or both I guess

Oh, I’ve never heard the phrase “it’s tipping it down.” I can hazard a guess, but what does it mean?

Also, lovely page as always! I also like the change in dialogue.

its raining really hard. thats what tipping it down means. we have alot of phrases for the weather cause we get a lot of it

Isn't another one "tipping the bucket over" or something?

No thats not about weather, thats about...sorta exposing lies..calling out bad behaviour

Ahhhhh my bad lol 😅

I know how trust can go, so I can definitely relate.

Stubborn as a mule. Gem is so on defensive side even when she doesn't need to be.

I love the rework of this page. Not only artistically better (you've grown a lot as an artist!). I agree about Paul with the jacket. But also the dialogue. Yes, Paul is attracted to her. But he also cares about her as a coworker and someone he actively wants to be friends with. I like that he's not going immediately into the more romantic realm, but addressing the real issue about how she pushes aside everyone, not just him.
