I feel so sad for both of them... (Your excellence with expressions, body language, and emotions continues to forever and always tug at my heartstrings! It's so exciting seeing you flex your comic-making skills!) There's also something uniquely heart-wrenching and scary for a child in a situation like this, too, seeing their parent fall to pieces (especially if they don't tend to do so very often in front of them.) Not that parents or adult-figures shouldn't be allowed to feel grief and express emotions! It can just be jarring for a kid (especially a younger one,) to realize the adults in their life are "just people" too, y'know? ππ₯Ίπ And you captured all that, just in the span of a few panels!!!
Someone get lil Ben a hug, stat!!! π
