    What will Bolero do now, accept the apology, or he will send her back to her room.

  • if he says "forgive you" at the end of that I don't, then this will be the end of a lovely journey for me sadly. real-life gets you down far too much for fantasy to do so as well.

  • He's gonna tell her that he doesn't hate her.
    I think there might be a form of 'forgiveness' but not in the way most people are thinking.

  • Good progress as long as she doesn't try to get him anymore things should be good. She probably could help him finally it his love for the ghost pokemon.

  • I think Bolero can't accept the apology yet.
    After all the things she messed up it would be just to easy to fix it with just an apology.
    I mean she needed a bit of fary dust to even walk up to him.
    There needs to be something else some sort of action from her to symbolize that she's serious about his feelings and the whole situation in general.

    I kinda find he should release some pressure from her but keep some of his attitude up to push her in the right direction.
    Actions matter more than words.

  • This is so hard to watch. I honestly feel like the best porn comics are the ones where you get attached to the characters and the problems they're going through. Especially when you want to see things get better.

    This is definitely Sidras lowest point. After the traumatic episode she just went on her nerves are pretty much shot. She's been twitching like crazy ever since she came to her senses and even though she's supposed to have enough fairy dust to keep herself together, she's still shaking and having extremely negative thoughts about herself and how Bolero feels about her. Not to mention that some of her actions have had negative consequences on everyone around her.

    Bolero on the other hand has been wanting to keep everything together and wanting the guild to be successful. But everyone's so damn thirsty for sex that it has become a detriment to the entire guild. And with the amount of things Sidra has done towards Bolero (on purpose or not) to still have sympathy towards her and not just go off with all the pent up anger that he's felt for quite some time really speaks about his character.

    In essence, this is probably going to be the lowest point in their relationship where things hit rock bottom. And I don't mean that as in like an explosive argument where they go their separate ways. But one where emotions are put on the table, no matter how heart wrenching, and it's up to them to make something better for the future.

    Sidra has laid out her cards on the table to be judged by Bolero. It's up to him to decide whether or not they can make amends at this point.

  • Bolero I swear to God, if you fuck this up I'ma hop through my screen and hang you by your balls outside the guild hall! You be nice to tiny fox! This is the first big step for her don't fuck it up!

    Ahem... Love this whole series, it's a gem and it is already giving me feels I was unprepared for. I hate it but I love it! Keep up th good work, I demand moar!

  • Honestly, the lights are pretty cool. I think they symbolize a sortve "reverse comfort zone" and Bolero is essentially stepping out of his zone, into a comfort zone, where he'll feel comfortable, and is gonna be honest, while Sidra remains in her "zone" due to withdrawl, and maybe, eventually step out and become comfortable. I hope. Praying for Sidra rn

    Love this comic :D

    He was never mad at her, just disappointed

    I think he could have been both mad and disappointed, but that doesn't necessarily mean he hates her.

  • I don't think he should accept the apology but he shouldn't just brush it off. He is a caring person and it is likely he was about to say "I don't hate you". Acceptance is different to forgiveness. He might not forgive her but he might accept that she wants to change.

    Yeah I imagine something like that is about to occur. "I don't hate you I just don't want you literally fucking our guild up" or so. Bolero's loyalty is still deeply tied to the guild itself and it's easy to forget that when he's being mad about horny. Probably views the whole guild like a dysfunctional family.

  • So, the pacing here is very interesting. Notice how he says "I don't..." twice, but he can't finish it.

    I feel like he wants to say "I don't hate you." And that he's not at all comfortable with the idea that he hates her. He's fine with outraged dignity. He's fine with trying to 'take charge,' but he desperately needs to see himself as the hero. And hatred...Well, it's not a terribly heroic thing in most people's eyes.

    I do think these two will fix matters up, and I do believe this is the turning point. But that doesn't mean it's going to be easy for either of them.

    Sidra's problems we've gone over at length for the last few pages (although some people still seem confused that the cute foxy might be a raping sexual predator who doesn't treat others so much like people as playthings), but Bolero's now confronted with having to extend trust to someone who right up until a few seconds ago he considered to be one of the chief problems for the guild.

    I might be wrong, of course, but in any case...This is damned fine writing.

    The insult towards those who like Sidra wasn't necessary

  • Ok I know she's been in the wrong this whole time and might not deserve to be forgiven but...man, my heart wants it. Like, she's done a lot of bad things that simply being addicted can't excuse, but maybe having that reader's inside knowledge and knowing her sober intentions are good just makes me want a bonding moment as a pretty little bow on top of this gift of a porn comic.

    You know, that's true, and fair. I wrote it while I was tired (thus the typos), didn't give it as much thought as I should have, and I'm going to edit it out.
    I have a real dislike for rape apologists, for starters, and the comment immediately preceding mine (which I see was downvoted out of visibility) was pretty...Well. Let's just say I disagree with its presentation as well as its content and the mindset behind it. I shouldn't have let that affect my own commentary, though, you're right.

  • I'm hoping they'll wind up working together on Bolero's job. Give Sidra something productive to focus on and let Bolero get to know her when she's not trying to jump him. Knowing this is a porn comic, I doubt it'll work out the way I personally envision it though.

    I didn't see the comment above yours and tbh I understand where the insult came from now. It's just that, as I mentioned on last page, I see people get downvoted for having pity on Sidra, and it seems people have a hard time drawing a line between those who think Bolero is a scumbag, and those who just don't want Sidra to go through hell.
    I'm neither of them, I still think she has to deserve Bolero's trust and prove herself to him before he gives her a chance, but some people don't take the writing as seriously as others and that's fine too !

    I haven't been downvoting people for 'having pity for Sidra,' but I've been trying to be pretty forthright about why I think that pity is misplaced. (Downvoting people who seem to believe Bolero is just bullying her rather than the other way around, or downvoting people who are approving of some of her rapier moments, now...That I it to.)

    I think that you've read some of my other replies so you know I'm somewhere on the same spectrum (my argument would be that Sidra has been through a hell of her own making, and she's due a long, hard climb out of it which I'm pleased to see beginning). Bolero, on the other hand...Well, Bolero is frightened, and angry, and I feel that he has good reason to be both, not that either one will solve his current problems. He's facing the loss of his home and possibly his oldest friend because of other people's selfishness and refusal to live by what he sees as standards of basic decency. I'll also note that 'sympathetic character going through hell' is a significant chunk of the essence of good storytelling. Vladimir Nabokov famously said something along the lines of 'The author's job is to chase the main character up a tree, then throw rocks at him until he comes down out of the tree and does something about it.'

    I suppose one of the problems that we encounter when we do find a story with an intense plot and good writing is that (because those aren't common) we want it to be the best we can imagine it being. And many of us are an outspoken lot because (as a comedian once said) when you're an asshole on the internet, the internet doesn't ring your doorbell the next morning and punch you in the face (most of the time).

    Thanks for pointing this out. Re-reading it, I actually just noticed this, yeah, with Bolero stepping out of his situation where the spotlight is on him in the last . Also possibly readable as beginning to cross the remaining distance. Although I actually think he's stepping out of his comfort zone, because he'd gotten comfortable thinking of Sidra as a problem and his rapey tormentor and is realizing that she's a person with problems of her own and she's trying to not be either of the things he's learned to identify her as.

    I'm thinking "Hate you" is more likely, given the sudden change in demeanor. But yeah he's probably not gonna give her a hug or anything, Since she's kind of represented everything he hates about what his beloved guild has turned into of late, on top of the constant sexual harassment of him personally.

    He ain't an asshole. He didn't know she was going to act this way instead of just jumping at his balls like usual, so for sure he'll say he doesn't hate her, didn't mean to upset her, and then they'll be cool...

  • "I just don't know anymore" this has been stressful for everyone involved and emotions are going to be volatile. Hope things go well but my guess is neither of them know how to feel right now

    Well, it makes sense for Bolero, but Sidra is obviously NOT comfortable, so I made it a reverse comfort zone. Bolero is not comfortable around Sidra, and him getting closer would make him more uncomfortable, but the symbolism, hes beginning to be come more comfortable, I hope Sidra can too

    Sidra stepped out of her comfort zone when she apologized to him and told him that without the drugs she felt she was useless.

    There seems to be two sides to readers here.

    Those that worship the ground Bolero walks on and think he can do no wrong, and those that see characters for their faults and fineries.

    Sidra is far from perfect, but damned if she isn't trying.

    And Bolero is a *damn sight* farther than she is. At least Sidra, even when high, does her job, and doesn't act like a petulant child all the time.

    You...are aware he just fucking ripped into her for having the *audacity* to walk around her own home?

    This shortly after he shit all over Maya because she tried to talk some sense into him, and after he threw a temper tantrum when his boss told him to do his job?

    Dude is about 90% asshole.

    You... are aware that it's his home too? That they both live there along with the others? And that when you are living (and working in this case) in such an arrangement you have to accept that you will come into regular with your housemates? That if you and one of your housemates have a dispute or other form of drama between you that a confrontation may happen any time you encounter each other in you're shared living space? And if the the situation is bad enough then it's entirely likely that one party's first impulse may be to skip to verbally ripping the other's throat or being very sharp with them rather then wait to see why the person they are in conflict with has decided to initiate ?

    Just because we see Bolero trying to save the guild's reputation all the time, and we can understand his outburst of rage towards the modest plan, we don't immediately worship him.
    What's with all these exaggerations? Thank you for clarifying the level right away.

    Sidra is doing her job? Oh well, if the wagon she's supposed to protect burns down, it's not her fault.
    And she behaves like an adult? So far, all I've ever heard from her is sexual insults towards Bolero. In the real world, that would be harassment and grounds for expulsion.

    I would say if you consider her behavior "adult" (the opposite of petulant child) I don't want to know what your maturity level is.

    Tip: Read the comic from the beginning and not just the last chapter.

    I certainly your first time saying that the only reason people defend Bolero because they want to fuck him, not to mention many of the inaccuracies you keep providing. I'm certainly unsure who you think is able to see characters for their faults and fineries.

    Oh yes, Bolero is acting like a child while Sidra has been trying to rape him most of the time, how dare he have defended himself.

    And for the record, he has behaved far better than she ever has up to this point - he's not trying to sexually exploit and take advantage of everyone in the guild for one thing, and he's also not a drug addict.

    And when Sidra finally opens up with not trying to jump on his dick, instead outright apologizing for being ridiculous to him and the others - well, look at that - Bolero is being a reasonable, well-behaved individual trying to comfort her for the issues she's been going through for once.

    You honestly sound like someone who defends Sidra but secretly only likes her for her """fuckable appeal""" or something, instead of seeing things as how it is.

    A lot of people like Bolero because he's a compelling character, especially the whole thing he has with Mia.

    As the other poster said, read comic from the beginning, not just off of one page.

  • Sidra needs a friend. It’s just now occurring to me. She needs someone she can rely on to help keep her stable without fairy dust or other such drug-like substances. Not a friend who will indulge her frequent lustful wants.

  • I'm certain Bolero doesnt hate Sidra.
    Not at all.
    He's upset with her. He's frustrated with her. And she's made a lot of mistakes towards him.
    But he doesnt hate her.

    Propably doesnt love her or see her as a close friend at this point.
    But he doesnt hate her.

    This.
    He does not hate her, that much is clear.
    And Bolero is very much a caring person.
    But he shouldnt just forgive everything outright and not be mad/upset at her anymore.
