Is there a path to you I haven't seen?
I wanted to draw the stage where even Naoki knows that there's no turning back; that they're enemies now and how he'll have to face Isamu eventually...and yet he can't help but watch him and blame himself for not being able to show him he cared for him and feels guilty about it...wondering if he overlooked a way, any way at all to be there for him more.
And Isamu is completely lost in his solitude ideal he can't even live up to, but is too hurt by everything that happened to reconsider any of his choices- convinced that it's no use anyway.
lategame!naoki/isamu is so hopeless yet terribly obvious I always get so sad over these two.
super proud and satisfied with this piece btw
