I love chances to draw them jumping or running around in all fours, idk, even if it's a small bit, I feel they would do it sometimes if it's faster and makes less noises xd
of course something had to go wrong eventually, the name "fragile" for this episode stuck with me despite it isn't exactly on the theme of the episode...
but I want to show Nova has failures, makes bad calls, I feel she's perceived as super good leader in the "prelude" series, which she might be in terms of how "good" and disciplined she is... but here being younger you can see her doing reckless stuff, probably unaware of real dangers outside her training and studies.
the fragile term is about the "fragile" truce among clans, like how fragile everything really is, despite being sort of a high-end society, there are aspects that aren't so great, it also relates a bit to Nova's discipline when she's faced against following rules or fighting against injustice.
I'm sure readers sure found Nova being particularly problematic at the begining of this episode heh? she's similar to Bandi in more ways than expected.
