Stunning both visually and with regard to writing!! I found myself holding my breath at the end - hoping for...not even the best possible outcome but not the worst. In such a short time I felt so much for all the characters, even the ones who only had a few lines and a portrait. Amazing storytelling!

so much said in such a short story... your work is very evocative and really resonates with me, this one especially.

several years ago, i moved out from the country i spent most of my life in, hoping for a better life in another country. while my current circumstances arent the best, i feel like i can never go back to my home country now. the world has moved on without me, and ive lost touch with most people i knew. ive even forgotten parts of my language. ive always felt alienated back home, so i thought itd be different here – it was not.

sorry if that was tmi. i just wanted to say youve really captured how it all feels.
oof ouch (complimentary)

i echo the sentiments of the comment by kalechips – the aching for a world that no longer resembles that which you once knew, but being too alien for the one you are currently in. "where am i supposed to go now" indeed...

it wasn't tmi at all... i'm so glad my little comic was able to resonate with you!  as a first-gen immigrant myself i really poured all my feelings of yearning into it!  i'm happy that people can feel it and it matches with theirs, in a way - it's meant to be!  from one lost alien to another... thank you so much for reading ^_^

Sorry, I had to come back to this one as well. It has such a whole world view created in such a short amount of time...As the child of an immigrant, something about this hits. There is an ache for a world that no longer exists, and for one that will not accept you. Human debris. "Where am I supposed to go now?" It's really brilliant.
