it's been two years and I still think it's really funny that I just. forgot to actually textually put in the random detail that xj's dad forced her to make the poison that was used to kill ljh's birth parents.

for anyone who can't read my handwriting, here's an image description:

page 1: bth and xj are clinking their cups together. bth: congrats on getting married to your dream woman. xj: haha, thanks! it's still hard to believe. bth: what's hard to believe is how long it took for you to throw yourself at her. xj: how could I do something like that after killing her parents? bth spits out her wine. bth stares at xj. xj: So, huh, I didn't tell-- bth: YOU DIDN'T.

page 2: bth is grabbing xj by the collar. bth: How did this never come up!?! xj: I thought it came up when I told you everything about dad! bth: *that's* why you were so weird about her at first! bth: Liu Jianghua knows this, right!? You've told her, right!? xj: Of course I-- xj cuts herself off, looking down in concentration. bth: xiao jie. xj puts a hand to her mouth, sweating as she thinks. bth: xiao jie!! to the side is ljh in a circle, outside the scene; ljh is shrugging; an arrow points to her, labeled: already knows

I have a small handful of other comics I've forgotten to put up but I'll do that later
