echoes stuck in time
when alex appeared on the boat–after riley leaves jacob behind–saying you shouldn't have to go alone, i was kicking my feet. but when jonas appeared saying "can i have like two real quick minutes with alex for a second?" at the dock, i was balling.
so what if we are forced to walk all the way to the beach, watching the beginning parts of oxenfree play out instead of only seeing jonas's segment before being glitched to the beach?
[ID: A predominantly black, white, and red comic of Riley seeing momentarily glimpses of the original Oxenfree kids on Edward's Island.
The first page has the background of a rundown Edwards Island sign and other miscellaneous objects that fade further down the page.
The first panel is of Riley–on the left–on her walkie-talking looking in confusion at a ghostly image of Jonas passing by to the right, saying, "Can I have two real quick minutes with Alex for a second?" (his words are italicized).
The second panel is of Riley pushing a large garbage bin to the right as a ghostly Ren argues, "I just... If you are thinking of leaving, I just hope you're doing it for the right reasons" (his words are italicized).
The third panel has Riley, far in the background, climbing down a cliff and staring at the ghostly images of a laughing Clarissa and a speaking Nona that are engaged in conversation: Clarissa's loud laughter is interjected with Nona's "Oh God." Clarissa follows up asking, "Wait. Have I told you about Brad's Car?" to which Nona exclaims, "What? No?! What happened" (their entire conversation is italicized).
The second page is completely white with a speech bubble in black saying, "Those people... They're your friends?" said by Riley, off-screen.
A back profile of a ghostly Alex with her head turned to the right. Two red text box say, "Kind of. Yes and no."
The third panel shows a side view of Riley to the left. Two red text box: "They– sighs."
The last panel has a zoomed out back-view of Alex on the left and RIley on the right with her putting a hand on Alex's ghostly shoulder. A red square text box saying: "It's hard to explain." End ID]
