![[ID: Comic page with 8 sections, the first is John looking lovingly at Arthur, the second is Arthur looking back at John, tears in his eyes, looking distraught while John asks off screen if he's okay. Third is a close up of Arthur's eyes, looking away angrily, tears more obvious in his eyes. Telling John "Don't" and "Yes" in response to his question. In the next two panels, Arthur repeats that he's okay, his hand raised to keep John from getting closer, but John approaches him and reaches out while Arthur seems to shrink and his resolve wavers as his hand lowers. Fully body image of John hugging Arthur while golden light glows behind them and the comic switches from a limited color palette to a fully colored scene for the rest of the comic. John pulls back, face inches from Arthur's in the next panel, telling Arthur "You're okay." Then they kiss in the last panel, Arthur's arms wrapped around John while John caresses Arthur's face. /end ID]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:it454tfen5l7bpvicqy4zo2m/bafkreiftj6vaul4ryx664cz7pkpb7fj7gmzwnixahtp22vdripc4ve3hpy@jpeg)
