Yes- poor Bern. He's been thrown around a lot in this flashback. </3 He's not too badly hurt though- just some bite marks (that wasn't a bite attack, that would've been worse) and a few scratches/bruises from being tossed about and having the roof collapse in from the... Dark Pulse. Yes. Dark Pulse. >.>

As for his mother... well. The next two pages will answer that.

Thank you! I've always believed the eyes to be one of the most important parts of facial expressions- so I do my best to make them look expressive and stand out a bit. Especially in these darker scenes- I'll have a multiply layer mask over the base colors to darken everything, but I always make sure the mask doesn't cover the eyes. Of course, I'm sometimes a bit inconsistent with how I'm shading them in the comic- some pages I only have simple hard shading, others I do like the above sneak-peak. It's usually I just forget. xD

One more page to finish in this chapter. I need to rest though- killed my shoulder on this page.
