Iiiinteresting....

Nose recovered! But I see his altered eyes were to be replaced. At least it's a nice ending nonetheless! Or is it?
As for the pink panda arse... what shall happen?

This feels... shockingly abrupt. Hunh. Well, okay then. XD

Well that was sudden. Did you get sick of the haters? Or is this how you planned it originally?

The story was actually supposed to end on the previous page, but I thought up this little epilogue and I couldn't resist.

Oh! That would have been sudden too. Thank you for clearing it up though, I was kinda worried for no reason. ^.^

You'll have to wait for the next chapters to find out.

I really hope they're not evil. That would be super unfortunate. D:

I love the ending for them ♡♡♡ But also, give us closure on Her!

Nope.

Aaaaw, ok

...wasnt she a Panda before?

I see mysterious magic there. Poor adapter

Good for Ezekiel and a new start of his life. I do wonder what the next chapter brings, especially with the last scene below. It definitely raises questions for what is to become of the characters. Keep up the lovely work Javi. 😁

Are you going to reveal what happened to Aileen later or are you taking the knowledge to the grave? Either is fine. Excellent conclusion and an amazing panel

my guess is given the odds are she's just a statistic in the cataclysm. she wasn't particularly interesting or threatening by herself, just a toxic byproduct of a society, and now that society is destroyed.

Honestly the crowd that gathered behind her was more frightening and powerful than her, so while she did lie and benefitted from it, she's a pretty small fish comparatively.

Yeah what you said, I think you laid that out way better.

Thanks! Revealing it would defeat the moral of the story.

I figured as much. It's about letting go after all. Well played, doc

Oh hey I just noticed that was her dad, I'm happy for her that at least one of her parents made it!

Quick question: why aren’t they wearing pants? XD

(Not trying to be rude, I just feel like I missed something upon seeing this page.)

Because pants are optional in Esperanza. They just got used to the new society rules.

Now I'm curious if there was another chapter would it touch on him getting intuch with that lady from the beginning and if so would he be the tipe to berry the hatchet and just let the past be the past and move on ?

Cuz I think that be more his speed at this point

I guess we'll never know.

Aww, Rora brought her dad~

What's with the grey patches? I'm guessing it's some sort of transplant?

That's correct. They got genital donations.

I wonder what exactly happened to Aileen

So, I have quetions. Can you help me understand? Even if its a "you'll find out in the future" or a "I'm not telling you" or even a "you didn't read!"

1. I got the impression that they were planning to heal him, even against his will. Assuming from this page, he was a willing participant in that treatment?
2. Assuming that, will we be discussing how that worked?
3. From other comments it sounds like you'll be discussing Eileen and the plague in future chapters. (of which I'm excited to see.)
4. The lack of pants gives me probably more questions that, perhaps were already answered. It seemed to me like they were discussing returning his genitals, though it wasn't clear if he wanted that. It seems from this page that that did not happen, it also appears that her genitals were removed? (That would certainly explain lack of pants.) Am I understanding this? If so, will we understand THAT policy more?

I think this is the longest comment I've ever made on this site. (Personally I think a comic that invokes this kind of thought and questions is a good thing, I'd love for my readers to "need" answers this way. XD)

1. That's correct. Those scars were a symbol of everything that had gone wrong in his life, of course he wanted them gone.
2. It's implied that Rawhead found a way to remove the nanobots. Everything else was easy after that.
3. Yes and no. The lore of my comic will be expanded in future chapters, but odds are that Eileen will never be mentioned again.
4. Pants are optional in Esperanza and I just don't draw genitals in this comic. Those different color patches are genital clone transplants. If you pay close attention, you can figure out who the donnors were.

Oh! Wow, I totally missed that. I really like that now that you've pointed it out.

And, also, I say that about wanting to be "fixed" in the context of.. sometimes something that happens in your life that is trauma, but.. to fix it would be to erase what happened.. in some context. More than that, the fact that what happened to him initially was against his will, it just made me wonder if there might be a mental health angle in which being "fixed" by others might be perceived as being forced upon him and again having things done against his will. (I've kinda been there with that one.. I'd rather be in control of me than anyone else, even if they think they're trying to help. If I say no, it means no.)

And for the bottom image...uh oh.

Great ending -- ties everything (well, almost everything) up nicely.

I want a vest like his, though. Especially in these days of COVID. I still don't care to be touched by strangers.

Ah, Is that Aurora's father. They got reunited! Nice.

Esta bonito!! Un final enternecedor sin duda :3

What is she up too?

Having a lovely life with her husband and children.

Well it looks like someone is trying to make a hybrid child with a demon!!! This is gonna be interesting!!!

Come on Aileen, oh we know you've been mean
At this moment, you did everything
You wouldn't confess, you couldn't be pressed
It's time to pay up, for all of that stuff, come on Aileen

This was closed with way too many loose ends dangling. like getting Ziggy his danglies back. at least it looks like his mental blocks have been played with and put away. as many commenters here have wanted, Justice for Eileen. Terrible justice that befits her crime. I am really sorry, but there was much to go explore before this page.

Glad to see he's restored somewhat.

exigimos justicia por lo que iso aileen

Denegada.

I KNEW you'd leave Aileen unanswered. I had an inkling it was the kind of thing you'd do :P
Also I bet that angle in the bottom panel was totally NOT chosen for a specific reason ;)

Javi: There's only an elaborated circle that knows what happened to Aileen
Me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXSZRJZW8Cc

Currently, I have only told three or four people.

I'm (stupidly) just now noticing that Zaggy looks to be a reworked/ alternate timeline version of one of your earliest fursonas. It's also interesting that your current sona is the one that was able to heal him. Am I reading to too deep into this?

Either way, this is a very mature and healthly message~

That my new fursona played the most important role in healing him is just a coincidence, but yes, Zag absolutely is an alternative version of Equidna.

It's nice to see him with a genuine smile on his face. Remembering some of the 'vent' art he was a part of, its pretty heartwarming to see him with such a bright future. Loved the comic!

Hey drJavi? Lore question? Is it canon that the girl that framed him, and put him through that hell. Is MIA or deceased.

Canonically, she's still alive and well.

How was that possible

As mentioned in page 28, Australia survived the Extinction through isolation.

Just one thing I am not yet sure of:
When he works here, he might have to get into close contact to others or whenever someone new gets introduced he also gets in close contact.

That's what the vest is for. It informs others that they must be cautious about close contact.

but it's sometimes unavoidable =/

he's got his eyes back! he looks normal again!! :)

Looks like a happy ending for the two. Is there any particular reason why they are all bottomless?

Because home is where the pants aren't.

Nah, it's just my personal style. I prefer to draw my characters bottomless.
