maya and diego…maya and diego…her sister’s new boyfriend may be a little bit weird and he may talk a little too flowery just to make himself look smart, but he lets her sneak sips of his espresso behind morgan’s back (her first time ever trying and it’s too bitter: she spits it out almost immediately and he laughs from deep down in his belly), teaches her a little spanish and grins from ear to ear when she first greets him with a ¡che, que tal!, buys her samurai comics at the train station before coming to visit with mia and won’t accept any of the quarters she’s managed to scrounge up from unassuming tourists when they accidentally let one drop to the dirt, holds her right hand (mia always has to hold her left) when she goes to the city and forces the three of them to wait in line for in-n-out (she’s heard that’s the tourist-y thing to do), picks her up and spins her round and round in a circle the way her daddy was never there to do. looks at her sister with a fondness the women of her family have never been able to relish in, a love so unconditional she could only hope to read about it in one of her old, worn storybooks, the ones she left behind with age; and, at the end of the day, that’s the only thing that really matters, isn’t it?
Hold me back 😡😡😡

If you wanna read my yap on my thoughts behind this:
This is very headcanon based, but I like to think remnant kazuichi and ibuki ran into each other during the tragedy, with Ibuki using a scrapped machine weapon from him. She found it in the rubble, and used it to her liking to blast sound waves at a decimal impossibly high towards her victims that it would practically explode their head from the impact on their eardrums. I wanted her to do something more impactful during the tragedy than just? evil music? lmao. And the sound waves that kill her victim is music to her ears, in fact it's a music so beautiful to her that post-canon she itches for that feeling back.
And of course, them healing together too. Despite Ibuki's comfort for him in this, she doesn't have everything figured out either. They're both still very messed up, they just have episodes at random times, and the other one is there to help when they can. Along with everybody else on the island, of course.
Kazuichi struggles more with the thoughts that he's scared he'll somehow revert back and hurt her, which is partly why he had to go to the beach away from the bed they were sleeping in together. But Ibuki won't allow him to wallow in those thoughts for long.
Anywho, this was my first experiment at a G-nib and ink, aka the lineart was done traditionally, along with some of the screentone also being traditional. I like how it turned out for a first-go at it!
