This is a VERY emotional page indeed. Don't worry, the remaining pages of the story are much more lighthearted, I promise.
In commentary for this page, my fingers actually cramped up this time during the inking phase from all the details I put into the backgrounds (I had to edit out in Photoshop a spot where I dropped the brush in panel 6, there's this big "splat" of ink on the original). I really need to learn to not try and finish all of the inking in one sitting; my hand is REALLY angry at me right now.
Also, while writing out this plot arc, the thought crossed my mind to tell the other stories of kids that Seth has been assigned to protect. I don't know how many I will be able to get into (I don't want the comic to become entirely about Seth's past), but I WILL eventually tell the story of Seth's first time being a Guardian... although I won't say anything else about that particular tale just yet.
...on a side note, I didn't find out until a few days after posting the previous strip that Steven Wright is actually the name of a standup comedian, and evidently a rather popular one at that (although I'd never heard of him myself before now). I should probably learn to use Google before I decide on character names in the future. I actually felt a little guilty while drawing this page, in some oddly hilarious way.

Amazing. You've told the story from an angel's point of view, showing that even angels can feel sorrow.
How many kids grow up like this? Neglected, unloved, left to fend for themselves. It is a testament to Seth's successful efforts that Steve was able to grow up in society without turning to drugs, gangs, etc. in his youth.
I really like the contrast you made in the first six panel as opposed to the last two. Lighter, happier, more hopeful at first, but then dark and foreboding in panel 7. What was it that he finally did to himself? It looks like he is either drinking or taking medications.
Thank you once again for your comic, Jon. I look forward to this sweet, funny, thoughtful story each week.
