"Looks like I'm starting all over again" Monday - July 17th, 2006

I spent the day recuperating from my friends visiting Syracuse so as I think I mentioned today's comic is up a bit late. As a reminder there will be no comic this Thursday as I'll be having four teeth pulled on Monday. The comic will return most likely by next Thursday as I will be moving back down to Long Island, though I will try and have filler up during the week this time around. It's a tough time all around, but I think I'll have some time to focus on the comic when I'm on Long Island before I head out to Japan. Hopefully I'll be able to finish the chapter and then I'll have a filler story line to fill in the time till I move to Japan. What kind of filler comic you ask? It's going to be a side story in the NS universe and I'll probably have a poll up by the time the next comic goes up so YOU can decide which character gets the bonus side story!

Back to the story at hand. I know it's comedic, but really what Yuki's done is not good at all. Instead of telling the girl, who took every ounce of courage to tell him how she felt, how he felt about her, he instead tells Sydney he will go out with her because he's horrible with chicks. I'd like to say this is an act of fiction, but this is more of a real story and I'm ashamed to admit it. I had a pretty amazing girl pour her heart out to me and I not only said nothing, but I ended up dating not some hot cheerleader, but her friend(s). It still haunts me to this day to tell you the truth I think that's the way it should be. I imagine, no, I know the girl I knew, like Key, was able to say goodbye and move on and forget, while I'm stuck with a lifetime of regret that I hurt someone as good as she was. So I knew I put a sort of comedic spin on this whole situation on Yuki's end, but really it's to dull the edge of guilt I have. You can say this was tough, but I wanted something good to come of it and like always Ninja Spirit gives me a chance to do that. The hero of today's comic isn't Yuki, but rather Key and thus is dedicated to the real her and all of you who found the strength to tell someone you liked how you felt and had your heart broken.
