[SPOILER] Click here to see my commentary for this page!
My comment for this page from Gaia: sic mundus creatus est:Those shadow creatures look truly terrifying! Viviana can be really glad that they weren’t real and Eldor and his helpers just appeared like that in her imagination. I spent ages on adjusting the color, size and position of the word bubbles in this and the next page until I was fully satisfied. The full dialog between Kali and Eldor goes like this:
- Kali: THIS ONE doesn’t understand why HE’s torturing Jael.
- Eldor: There’s nothing to understand. It’s just that nothing works as it’s supposed to.
- Kali: Why has HE not simply teleported Viviana back to Oakdale?
- Eldor: Because she seems to have a rather peculiar soul that makes it impossible.

With the “whole” dialog it makes much more sense here. Vivi has a special ability that made her “immune” to the automatic teleportation spells that moved her friends, and therefore she got lost in the border of the labyrinth (that started to be a bit incoherent).
This page was incredibly striking the first time I saw it, especially with the black borders and stuff 😀
Seeing the full dialog (since I don’t believe it was ever explicitly spelled out later on?) is also nice, and it definitely makes a bit more sense of what happened. Funny how Eldor is basically complaining how unreliable stuff is 😛 “These darn modern spells never work like they’re supposed to!”
Viv is currently undergoing: exhaustion. thirst. maybe some sort of time jiggery condition. a head wound. possibly concussion. analgesic poorly tuned to human biology. she’s trippin’ yo. and a reasonable but not unreasonable amount of adrenaline. Plus whatever that you-know-who is doing in a capacity as a surgeon. He could be trepanning her for all we know, to reduce interior swelling from the rock to the head. At least X sews her up. All we ever find out is that X did a thing to V to fix it. The “Well I can’t teleport her, what do you WANT me to do!” problem may be an effect of the green fluid. It wasn’t explored.
