Until the wound becomes a window

—The Mirror and the Light, pg. 359

bathtime he looks so pleased i almost want to put an orange on his head ...

Oh my GOD this is so beautiful I barely know what to say! You’ve gotten SO many amazing details into this and I’m just going to ramble out my favourites off the top of my head while I flail around joyfully: 

Qifrey’s self-imposed sad wet cat pathetic swag, the first strip of light hitting his (increasingly light sensitive…) remaining eye but he keeps it wide open even so, the ribbon with a mind of its own curling towards the open door…….. OLLY!!!!! The way you’ve perfectly captured the shaggy stage of his depression-born lack of a haircut and his big harrowed eyes behind it, tfw no Qifrey for months :’’’( it's such an excellent and heartbreaking expression. The window of the door looking like a halo around his head in the last frame!!!!! Patron saint of betting on losing dogs (for love) Olruggio of the Torch clocking in to the narrative every day without fail, it ain’t much but it’s honest work etc. Qifrey’s body language is also so pitch perfect here and so true to the manga, the way he’s clutching at his wrist at the end makes my whole heart squeeze.
