really sad days (hyvin surulliset päivät)

en voi olla ahne. [a chibi (semi-deformed) figure of dia's mascot character sitting and frowning with their eyes closed and their arms crossed over their chest] minum pitäisi vain hyväksyä että mikälie (ruby text: きみ) on aina vaikeasti saavutettavissa. mitä enemmän ∅ minä, sitä enemmän minä ε (∅ and ε intentionally redacting the intended words) IT'S OKAY. [an outline of a bandaged hand reaching out to the other side of the page] minä olen [redacted even in the image] minun olisi pitänyt tietää paremmin kuin odottaa... original twitter "tooltip": the idea to toy with using ruby text (translingual ruby text, no less) came at the very last minute, when i realised that "kuin" sounds like 庫院. although this kanji was not appropriate in the context of this short comic, i almost wanted to do something with "odottaa" and "踊った". i elected to just keep the ruby text to the first two pages, given the intentional cryptic vibe and open-ended nature of this final page.

何者か (ruby text: joku saa) sydämeni lopettamaan verenvuodon [outlines of an upper torso with a chest wound corresponding to the third left intercostal space, with blood dripping to a cupped right hand, elbow flexed on a nearly 90 degree angle] en usko että kestän sitä enää... poissa tai läsnä [a black and white silhouette of a figure from the back - the white portion is partially motion blurred] kukaan ei huomaa [silhouettes of two figures laughing at the other silhouette] ehkä se on kohtaloni. original twitter "tooltip": the idea of a "bleeding heart", both in the literal and figurative context, is something that always resonated with me. i tried to find the best fit to convey "someone" in the sense of "joku saa" in japanese (which i am considerably more proficient in than suomi), and figured 何者か (なにものか) was close enough. out of all the pages, i like this one best.
