drugged the water?
id say im surprised that kim wouldnt notice the water already being open- but not many people would be thinking about that when it's the small hours of the night and youve been under interrogation for X hours already
Is the water drugged, or is it just sleep deprivation (plus the fact she's recovering from a failed suicide attempt)? You'll never know! That's what makes it exciting!
oh, actually, i should comment on this. the water was, in fact, tampered with. i think it's pretty believable that kim didn't notice. the only person who caught that kim was able to open it with more ease than a sealed water bottle would've needed on the last page was my wife, as far as i know!
I think my favorite panels are the two where the griffin nurse's eyes are blocked out by the panel of Kim looking at her. It really gives the impression to me that Kim is not really seeing her but registering that she is there. The way the gutters on Kim's panel has a gradient from dark to light based on where she is looking is also something really nice that I noticed.
if thats what i think it is in the last panel shes probably going to have a hard time sleeping at all despite being exhausted, poor kim. i very much liked how the panels were used in this page, you hit the 'staggering and not registering anything' feeling spot on
gosh i'm not sure if the overlay of 'i thought you said you could read' was a flash of her remembering the last conversation or something that the hyena-griffin was actually saying at her again just to drive in the feeling, either way it's astounding just how much you can feel kim's desperation and self-pitying throughout the whole of this exchange (also another minor thing because for some reason that's all i can care about - kim's holding the pen with the point facing up right until the 'i just need some sleep' line, she's not even in position to sign and considering it, she's just fighting it as hard as she can until she's forced to give up and everything flips. basically it's just amazing how much characterization is in the tiniest details here)
imo it's kim recalling it... kim hearing faint voices has been shown before like on the page where she's like, if i can hear you you can hear me, when asking for water. not sure if griffyena would verbatim repeat what she said before seems kinda funky, you feel me? just my two cents however
Wow, I really like that panel of the panel over the gryphon nurse's eyes - almost like Kim doesn't want to look her in the eyes (or like the nurse doesn't want to look Kim in the eyes and acknowledge her).
Your effects really capture the "I'm tired and frustrated and don't want to be here" feeling and the way Kim's seeing the world right now.
the guy volunteering the check her when it implies that they always use women supervisors to check in other women made my creepdar go way up lol, would immediately make me feel unsafe
Its possible they need a woman sup for Kimmy because she isn't just female, but also underage. Which could lead his offer to seem harmless, or even creepier honestly.
