60: Run

I assumed it's his friend from when he was a kid, I think they came up with the video idea together

I still wonder if Gino ends up being the friend in your videos from nowadays. I’m kind of hoping he does.

Aaahhh don’t leave us hanging like this! Why was Ron REALLY back?

I got completely hooked a couple months ago when I found your story. I'm really looking forward to know more about your decision to why you stayed at Elan after your 18th birthday. A couple chapters ago you mentioned that your parents' threat was the main reason but knowing more about this is so interesting to me.

As I read this, my reaction is constantly, "I'm not sure what I expected, but it wasn't that!" You're a great storyteller, and I'm constantly on the edge of my seat for new updates.

In reading this comic, I can see one of Christy's problems is that she takes the failures at Elan 8 personally, and then makes emotional reactions as opposed to rational choices. This is a really bad character trait to have if one is in such a position that she is in. I also think they kept you around as 're-entry' because it meant they still got paid for someone who really was eligible for graduation--it was another stop for the gravy train. In regards to Ron, I am glad to see him back because I already saw there was more to that relationship then what met the eye. It was pretty clear to me that Ron loves you (or at least he did at one time) but the problem here is that drug addicts are unreliable.

This comic is such a trip. Hard to believe anyone can survive such a wild ride. So glad I backed all those months ago!

I do want to hear more about your experiences with the cross-country team. After the rest of your story, obviously. But, man, I'm invested. Part of me wants to think Ron had a change of heart or legitimately felt bad for you, but I know better. He was obviously planning to gain back control of Elan 8. Like the psycho he is.

Dude, I say this not as a fan but as a content creator myself, you're getting *seriously* great with your art, and I'm just super impressed with your storytelling skills. You've crafted this comic so well, and you've managed to capture a fraction of the hellscape that was Elan. I know you don't have many people in your life who know about this project, so I hope you know that I'm *stupid* proud of you. I'd wager to bet that most of the others on your Patreon feel the same, but still, it's important to say. You're doing a kickass job.

Somehow I was moved to tears at the thought that Ron could have been redeemed and was trying to save you, Joe. But then I realized the setting we were in, that the house was in shambles, that you can't trust anyone, that this could all be a ploy, but it was Ron, he was sort of above the whole thing... Man I cannot believe this is real. I mean, I do, but this is just so heart wrenching all the emotions

Makes my week when you post a new chapter! Thank you.

Well I certainly didn't see that coming!
