Seeing Locke's story made me emotional, especially when he acknowledged he was not able to consent to what was done to him as a kid. It's his last line in the panel that especially hits hard and felt relatable in a way.
And while it is directly talking about his skin and the tradition his mother was upkeeping, I have such a soft spot when it comes to characters with backstories that either touch upon or fully handle heavy topics of either S/A and/or consent.
Seeing Vayne lower her guard as well when he opened up and try to comfort him or at least empathize with him felt healing as well; this comic became very dear to me now.
