A short little scene I saw play out in my head, because of this dialogue. Imagine Susie running and carrying a CRT across town! I bet in the Dark world she was relieved how small he turned (even though it was also really sad to see him so sad).
(I had planned to draw Susie myself for the falling sequence... but after I put these rough pages together I totally forgot about them and now the feeling is gone to finish this.)
[If anyone would like to redraw this, feel free to do so!]
...(the main thing is, I got my idea OUT of my head. Cleared some space)...
This is also the first time I ever tried to draw Susie!
Tenna here does not have his red coat because that's the red cloth left behind on the table indoors.
Tenna was very quickly repaired before the Dark Fountain was sealed, then was left outside in the rain without his coat, under a tarp... rushed across town in Susie's arms... and so when he arrived in Castle Town he was in quite a pitiful state.
...Lancer may have done that, but I like to imagine they wrapped him in a blanket and gave him hot cocoa too ☺️
