Here we are. Mom is reading the comic we made. I never thought I'd ever want this to happen.
I guess I hoped that I'd just keep making them in secret and she'd never find out we were publishing them.
But now she's reading it. Because she wants to give it a chance.
I know why, but I had to act surprised by her change of heart. Just another secret to keep from her.
She's already had a hard accepting these comics and accepting Marc. How's she going to react to me being Caprikid?
I'll cross that bridge when I get to it...
Dad's expression hasn't changed. He didn't think this was that good when I showed him before.
Maybe he's changed his mind too? I don't know, I can never tell.
But, he's reading it.
Marc's hand... He's here with me. Even after Mom said...
No, I can't keep going back to what she did before. I don't like it when people bring up the stuff I did before.
What matters is he's here with me.
What do I do if they don't like it?
What if everything we've done for this was for nothing in the end? And the whole akuma fiasco was...
Mom has a magical charm now. At least we have that.
Dad just put it down. He's... crying? Why did-
He does like it. He likes it how it is. He wouldn't change anything.
...One down.
Mom...
Is she struggling to find something positive?
Why isn't she saying anything?
Oh.
She said sorry...
Mom...
I don't have to hide this anymore.
I love you, Mom.
