Red alert, we have some extremely hefty feelings on this page! I am still on the fence if I want to include the original script dialogue where Ethan replies with "I know you did" in the final panel here, or if I leave it with just his expression to speak for him. Decisions, decisions! ヽ(´□`。)ノ

I found a song the other day that hit just right as I was drawing this page, which I'll link to here if you also would like to wallow in extra melancholy as seasoning for this scene, lol

OKAY… DON’T FUCK WITH MY OLD MAN YAOI! You don’t see much of it in published form! It is needed and appreciated by many who keep it to heart! Old men (all people) need loving too! Listen up readers… you will be in my shoes one day (I donate my cool shoes, so look for them in the thrift stores!) and you too, will be looking back on your bygone days with loving fondness! 👥🫂

Theo

Just me over here doing conspiracy theory pointings. If Al gave Ethan all the power he had, ala Trading Places, and the line is fizzing out, as Ethan reaches 00:00:00 - he has no power anymore, right? So what is the point of the binding now, and would it even continue to work, would it not fizzle if Ethan has run out - but then again the eyes are still on and.. and.. and.. *crumples theory paper, throws it in the bin with a sigh.* (also, excellent song!)(

Omg, I’m so happy I’m not the only one in this boat! 😱 I ALSO got my industrial because of this comic 🤣🤣

Probably.Eating.Poptarts

I am so jealous and happy for you! TwT I wanted an indistrial for the same reason, but my blasted anatomy prevented me from doing so! (On both ears, to boot!) I have two small helix piercings now instead, and two lobe rings on the other ear to commemorate the Great AL, so I stand with you in Al-Piericing solidarity! (>w<)/

PantherLion

It def takes a while to heal. Mine feels great now, but I really didn’t enjoy sleeping on it for about a year.

AuraKirsch

Oh wow! I still want an industrial, but I don't enjoy the prospect of the many months it can take to heal ( •﹏•)

Asmodeus

Me: crying because I’ve been following this story since the pandemic and it’s my whole reason I got my industrial piercing. 😩

AuraKirsch

aagh thank you 🥹

Asmodeus

It was destroying me so effectively I thought I should share haha 🥹

Asmodeus

Okay okay hear me out. What if this means that Al gets to go back and have it out with Malthus, but this time Malthus understands just a little bit more and is entirely taken aback by the fact that demons CAN love. And then some day, some time, they're reunited once again. PS Asmo you're brilliant with both writing a compelling story and your art <3 can never give you enough kudos.

Squibbles

Ohh yeah, you just had to throw some Amber Run salt in my wounds, didn’t you? 😭 I rarely expect comics to affect me truly and emotionally, but after this long… I’m genuinely tearing up over this. You can’t let our boys end here. 💔

Probably.Eating.Poptarts

I think letting Al have the last word has much more of an impact.

KryX

Al did exactly as he wanted this time around. He followed his heart, loved with all he had, made the sacrifice, and knew what to do. And Ethan loved him back. So very proud of him and crying hard. The old saying between grief and nothing...

Mary Calmes

What happens next?!? Such exquisite story-telling.

brashion

Thank gods! I’ve been reading this for years and it would have killed me if it ended like this haha

Levi Hamato

I've got script yet to go out to September, so we're not done yet!

Asmodeus

Also: was listening to a cover of tool's schism when i read this which hit different but aarrggg

MelZay

uuughhh i knew the song before i even clicked WHO THE FUCK IS CUTTING ONIONS

MelZay

Whelp, I'm crying now...

Murkoph

If he said it, I think it emphasize the said, because he really saw it in the flashback. The song is perfect... But i'm in total denial.... NOPE In my head, there a happy ending for them in this life...

LadyKya

Perfect song to go with this heartbreaking episode! 😢😭 I know not every story has to have a happy ending! I can only hope… 😮‍💨

Theo

This literally feels like a scene from 'The Fall', where Lee Pace's character is telling the other lead a story, and he's so depressed and upset with himself that he can't help but kill all her favorite characters off--and she's just begging him to stop. UGH

Kibble the Satyr

Awwwwwwwww… FUCK!

Theo

That Amber Run song is haunting and, sadly, perfect for this moment. I hate that it works so well and makes me feel my feels! WHY would you do that to us????

Kibble the Satyr

Make room for me! I clicked on the song and now 😭😭😭

camelotcrusade

Ethan knows exactly what it means to see Al’s collar dissolve. He wouldn’t need to say the words. And while we’re at it: WAaaaahhhh

Allan Meyer

I GOTCHU I'M HOLDING ON FOR DEAR LIFE WITH Y'ALL!!! TTTmTTT

PantherLion

I GOT YOU, WE DO THIS TOGETHER

Luis Frost

555 is the new 666; we've been cursed this page with Al's last words before time runs out... TTmTT

PantherLion

NO STOP WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT NOOO ASMO °՞(ᗒᗣᗕ;)՞°

Luis Frost

I AM NOT CRYING Y OU ARE

carley

That part aside I think it more closely aligns with what you’d be ABLE to say in such a situation. There comes a point with emotion where you just can’t speak- this would be a perfect example

Aethinder

I AM HOLDING. LUCKILY I GOT TWO HANDS - SOMEONE ELSE GRAB ON HOLD FAST ;-;

Mx. Benign

Nope. Nope. Nope nope nope. Not the end. We’ll get our happy ending… I hope.

Nicole Jones

It's finally warm enough to cry while I'm outside but that didn't mean I wanted to 😭

Silvera

I'm leaning towards leaving it out, I think it's probably superfluous at that point!

Asmodeus

Hold my hand, we'll get through it!!

Asmodeus

trust the process trust the process trust the process trust the process trust the process asmo wouldnt hurt me like this not after so long theres no way thats not the story they are telling sdanf;aksdfn;kj TRUST THE PROCESS ITLL BE OK -hyperventilating-

Mx. Benign

Don’t tell me this is it. Please tell me Lucifer will bring AL back to life or something 😭😭

alex

...oh my heart...*WAILMUCHWAAAIIILING* ...omfg...that little vrrrr sound as the collar winds down...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!

Lia Graf

Oh dear

Brendan OSullivan

Nooooo! This isn’t how it’s going to end, right?? 😭

Levi Hamato

My... Heart...

Ian

Better without.
