#also the way the petals and tears are perfectly diagonal makes it look like they appear side by side but they don't!

I can’t stop thinking about how perfect these panels are. 

In one, Yona meets Hak for the first time; in the other, she looks at him like it’s the first time. It’s right after the coup, and this boy who seems like he only puts up with her most days and teases her like it’s his job just risked everything to keep her safe. She probably expected Hak to sell her out easily, so for Soo-Won to betray her and Hak to stay loyal is really surprising. 

The art is also gorgeous. Aside from seeing Hak and Yona as kids, which is always a delight, the little flower petals floating on the wind in the first panel become Yona’s tears in the second.
