I Want To See You Kick Above Your Waist

[ID: A four panel comic of a scene from RQG episode 207. It is drawn digitally with a monochrome pink and red palette. In the first panel Hamid, wearing a suit with his dragon wings coming out the back, walks through a formal party where various other RQG characters are also dressed up, dancing and enjoying the party. Hamid smiles, arms wide, and says “Yay! All my friends made it!” In the second panel, Hamid walks up to Zolf, also wearing a formal suit, and grabs him by the tie. Hamid smiles and says “C’mon Zolf, don’t be a wallflower, let’s dance!”. Zolf looks hesitant and says “W-wait, hold up…” The third panel shows Hamid’s face up close as he looks up in surprise as Zolf places his thumb on his forehead. Hamid says “Oh?” and Zolf says “I said hold up.” The fourth panel shows Hamid and Zolf’s arm in the same angle, but now Hamid’s wings are gone, he has a blood stain coming from his chest and he has a pained expression, coughing as he wakes back up. The words “Back to reality” are written in the back and a beam of light comes out where Zolf’s thumb meets Hamid’s forehead. End ID]
