I was expecting to have another page after this in part 6, but editing makes fools of us all, so... Part 6 over, part 7 next Wednesday!

- The discussion waaay back in Sister 2 about magic buildups

- The specific page about having to sleep while transformed

- Realization of not getting energy buildups anymore in Sister 3

I didn't intend panel three as literal conscious thought. That's basically a summation of what Elliot remembered was relevant in that moment translated into words we can understand.

It wound up being a lot of text, however, so speed lines and italicized thought bubbles, GO!

I think a lot of thoughts in comics work out that way. Not all the time, but I figure there's a lot that's subconscious wizardry being localized into English.

Novels naturally do this less, as their narration can more efficiently address what characters are thinking about without breaking immersion. When we do get their thoughts in text, such as I want a sandwich in italics, I assume that's literal conscious thought.
