Yeah, there’s about ten years of therapy distilled into one sentence. It’s not that people don’t change, it’s that so often they try so hard to change the thing about themselves that don’t need it, and fail to control the things that do. The sooner you can get a real good look at yourself, and see what makes you tick, where you excel, where you falter, and what makes the machine that is you work best, live best, the sooner you’ll be on track to taking some measure of control over your future and well being. It’s very hard to make plans, or decisions when you don’t know the terrain, and it’s very hard to know what you’re capable of when you don’t know yourself, or worse are deluded about who you really are.

(As vague as i can make them but still, sorry)

Wow I just realized that panel 7 is The Start Point of the sepiaworld spiralling-hitman-violence arc, because of those specific words from Shanna to Carol(‘s side) and that the arc is bookended really neatly with a First Panel and a Last Panel a while later.

Things you can just miss when webcomics format means arcs take months or years.
