fear, which is grey pushing from the borders of the paper, and the red and blue of courage pushing back from the center.
The Soldier wrote Fear in Russian, but he wrote Courage in English.
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)
The Soldier spent some time looking at Fear. He pointed at it and frowned. Steve pulled it off the wall and handed it to him. The Soldier pushed it into a corner, and set about re-drawing it until he was happy (what was happy? What did happy look like?). He pushed it under the door. Steve seemed pleased as he taped the new picture in the place of the old picture.
I tried to draw this one as described, but I just couldn't get it to work. I wasn't happy with my attempts, so I just went with what seemed right at the moment, and thus this revision.
This one is fast and rough because I figured the Soldier would only be able to sustain anger at his handler for a short period of time, especially this early in the story. Additionally, he was expecting to be stopped at any moment, so he did this as quickly as he could.
He waited for his punishment for seven hours, until they gave him his evening ration.
