One thing that was mentioned in a few comments was wanting to see the conversation "later" between Nikki and Aidan, so I decided to actually write that out. And, y'know, it might actually answer a few questions for some readers. :)
I decided to draw this as a vertical scroll comic to see if I could do it. It turned out pretty fun to do! The idea of flow is very different for a vertical comic, but it's also a limitless canvas space, so you do have a little bit more wiggle room to mess with it. Unfortunately, patreon is NOT ideal to post a vertical comic, so I cut it up even more so you can easily read it without having to open it up in a new window. These should be in order of reading, so read from top to bottom, starting from the first image.
There will be 3 parts to this side story! Next week is part 2
