Notes:

This is a direct follow-up to ssleif's fanvid, Room to Breathe. WATCH THAT FIRST. Seriously, it's an amazing vid and a big part of the storytelling and it deserves so much love and attention. Plus, the song "Room to Breathe" by You Me At Six was where this whole thing started and it is honestly so Sterek it hurts. LET SSLEIF SHOW YOU HOW BEAUTIFULLY IT HURTS.

My original intent was to create a short comic of about 7-8 pages for the fourth week theme "Fix Canon" for the SSS2016. Naturally, I then proceeded to write 30+ pages worth of comic script. What you see here in Part 1 is what I was able to accomplish in a little under two weeks of marathon drawing, angsting, not sleeping and barely eating. Good times! I tried to keep the rougher art spread out (and hopefully less noticeable), but I may end up going back and editing things later.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)
