Day 18 -- Looking Glass

Looking Glass.

Darien, CT

Evil!Chloe gets her hands on that Looking Glass to see the future with her on top

And finds out, yeah.

This idea has been in my sketchbooks and drawing program for a really long time.

I've been wanting to draw some art for one of my fics properly for a while, so here's my best attempt at depicting " Kinjo " (Kinjos?) from The Other Side of the Looking-Glass. Yes, perhaps this is just a shameless plug for my own fic but y'know what I've put a lot of time into it and I think it's alright.

I picked out some quotes from the fic so there's a little snapshot of what's going on. It might not line up perfectly with any particular scene, but you can get a view of what they're each like.

“I trust you, Yuki,” he says simply, allowing him to leave without any resistance, skepticism, or disappointment. Yuki’s heart drops into his stomach. It shouldn't be wrong. But it wasn’t right .

Am I the only one…? Not even Tsurugi is…

Too many of the things that make Tsurugi, Tsurugi, have suddenly disappeared. Just like with Akane, Teruya, and Mekaru, but even worse. Because almost all of the many pieces that make him are sharp; unyieldingly so. And yet, now, they've simply been softened away.

A shining sword, dulled, and suddenly no longer able to pierce anything. It shouldn't be that way. Even though Yuki has seen the wounds inflicted, on himself, on others, and even on Tsurugi himself, he knows that. 

“Keep that name out of your mouth.” Kinjo’s voice is hollow. “No one is coming to save you.”

Combined version and extra thoughts below:
