MPL Ep 107 - High-Res Artwork + Discussion

OK, I know it’s only the slight recap of the last episode that this episode opens up with - but when Tora calls her sweetheart during her panicked struggle, it just makes my heart go thump so hard! I wonder how many times I read him calling her that and take it for granted. It just makes me melt knowing this massive mafia enforcer uses such an adorable term of endearment towards her. So yeah, I just had to say that first because I got butterflies again and I just adore how much he adores her. Oh my god, when she starts referring to Tora as ‘dad’ I just about lost it. There’s me first saying how sweet it is he’s calling her sweetheart, and then he calls her Poppylan in his lecture tone (I presume) and I’m just creasing up. I also fucking adore him smiling! Light the smallest bit of sunlight during a storm. Oh man, sometimes Poppy’s naivety to the dark side of Narin makes me want to wrap her up in bubble wrap, super tight. Never go with the dodgy looking people with a ‘privacy guaranteed’ sign on the door in the middle of the night, Pops. Bad juju there. Ooh a couples cruise night! We see you looking a little despondent there, Poppy. And her gasp, very loud in front of everyone, gasp, just had me cringing for them both. Can I have second-hand embarrassment reading this? Because I definitely felt it for the both of them during this part. I mean, Tora could’ve chosen a different route to hush her. But to be judged instantly because of his height and tattoos…low blow. Sweet of the couple to check on, Poppy. But harsh on the judging. Tora always, ALWAYS stands in the exact same pose when he gets judged like this and it does make me laugh a little. Bahaha, the accidental boob nudge! Hard to miss those babies, poor Tora. But then also, not poor Tora for doing his ostrich impression again. Dude is giving me whiplash and poor Poppy too. Flirts with her on Ares street, lightly lectures her in the car, then completely shuts down and embarrasses her twice in the space of a couple of minutes and leaves her to deal with the aftermath of that. The only pass I’m giving him here is that he has so much to work on and I know he’ll apologise (as he has done in the past). But this…ohh boy you lucky I can’t jump into the computer. Also, Poppy’s preppy skip and bounce along…you gonna crash soon girl and I’m dreading seeing it! So I'm gonna take a deep breath and buckle up for this next bit, because it’s getting bumpy. Grumpy tiger…

I'm confused. When I download the zip, it doesn't include any speech bubbles. Just the art. Is it supposed to be just the art? The last three episodes are the same way for me.
