Oh shit

Oh no..

Oh damn

Oh shit..yeah I can see why Keith is the way he is now, damn

Rip

I kind of felt like a crash was imminent. The depression, the drinking, why Jayden is back in the picture, but keeps out of the kids lives. Keith feels guilty. God that sucks...

There it is. A car crash that Serah believes she caused, probably thinking she was the distraction that lead to it.

Still find it crazy that both the kids ended up unharmed. Seb is on the same side of the crash and is fine.

Dead... not big suprise.

oh no :(

Oh… holy shit!

Mom took all of it.

How much injury will Serah get.., since she’s awake. Seb…, because he’s sound asleep would likely have nothing if at all.

Oh crap… Keith, distracted by his argument with Bethany, ran a stop sign and was T-boned. And I’m guessing Serah now blames herself for being the distraction. No wonder they are the way they are.

And Seb, being asleep, wouldn’t know any of this. He probably woke up in the hospital.

Was not expecting that 😞

I can hear the truck horn.

with the angle, i'll assume the car only got hit on front, so Searh and Seb would be badly shaken, but not as badly as Keith and Bethany will be, if not worse

all that because she had to throw a fit a pull a "it's me or her" ultimatum, knew she'd pull that card, and of course, she will not have "no" as an answer, all over a single text, when, as far as we know, Keith was honest about it with her, having to remind her he and Jayden were broken up for some time now, but she still pulls some "logic" that he's not allowed to even talk with others, or it means he's cheating on her with whoever he happens to be discussing....

ok this is page 26, the comment is from page 24

Please just let it be divorce that ends the relationship and not a fatal car crash.

To be continued

Man, while the story going here is something that many of us saw coming with various hints that the mom died and didn't just get a divorce, the execution of it is incredible, with that stopsign, the change in lighting, plus Beth's facial expression changing as she likely had some hint of something being wrong right before the hit, I can't complement it enough, this thoroughly lived up to my expectations and fuck, the lines and the whole perspective being from Sarah suggest she not only saw it happening, but even tried to warn them, only to add to the confusion and helplessly watch her mother die... It's truly tragic.

This is incredibly good story telling, and it's god damn furry incest porn... Truly incredible how the internet works.

There also is one other layer of detail here, Seb being asleep, limp and slumped over as he is, vs Beth being stressed, and likely tensing up realizing there's light behind here all of a sudden, probably seeing terror on Sara's face too, Beth's chances in that crash were a lot worse than Seb's and it actually makes a ton of sense that she would die and he wouldn't.

Oh, no... :(

Fucking hell that escalated quickly

tomatofan said:

Not necessarily. It could be an ongoing argument that she refuses to drop, making him tired of repeating himself, as well as him trying to focus on the road but being distracted by her and being annoyed by that

I hate when I'm right.

Car crashes can be crazy like that.

Back in 1987 Britain was struck by a huge storm that tore through the country and during it a 20-ton tree fell on a firetruck who was going on an emergency.
Said tree fell on the front of the truck, killing the driver and the passenger on the spot, but the other firemen, although dazed by the very abrupt stop were otherwise unharmed.

Basically mere centimeters made a difference between life and death.
Here's said truck afterwards: https://www.bbc.co.uk/staticarchive/d95f6b349013e96982401b164896e55dcc699360.jpg

Explains the torn ear,..
torn marriage,..
torn life

Oh No!

Oh god

Mmm yeah that will kill your marriage good.
Best drop out as I did drop in.

I honestly hope that the mom, whom I guess we finally have a name for and it's Bethany aka Beth, died instantly upon impact & didn't feel a thing. 🙏🙏🙏

But sadly she probably died at a hospital, or on the way to a hospital, and suffered greatly. 😞😞😞

This comic has come so incredibly far in what feels like such a short time.

The writing and storyboarding skills black-kitten has demonstrated throughout this series has been outstanding.

Marvelous Storyteller, Illustrator, Artist

oh shit...now i know why serah blames herself...poor kid

I could see where this was going for a long time, but I still spent every moment hoping I was wrong...

Oh no it's truck-chan

The artist does an amazing job when the comments explode

Seb should have taken a lot from this as well

BK once again proves he is the master of facial expressions. Also RIP.

Another victim for truck-kun

I got reincarnated as a Child in a divorced family

yerp :?

fuck.. Saw it
Crash :/ and not a good one .. why old boi has half an ear :d

When I first saw this comic a few years back, I was just lookin for a fap. Not a story. But I saw enough to pique my interest....this has to be one of the best well written comics, dealing with trauma ranging from a semi absent father whom has a drinking problem, but means well, and Serah who also is dealing with the guilt of her own. And there is Sebastion the only one who doesnt know what went down other than what happened. So many subtle clues thru the years.

And of all things to call a masterpiece in the making.....It's a fucking furry incest porn comic.

Yep both parents responded to Sera right before the crash so of course she blames herself for what happened.
Bethany's why did it get so bright in here expression is actually kind of haunting in she knows something bad is about to happen but going by where the semi lights are she won't have the time to look and see.

dadio23 said:

But, he seems to be an extraordinarily deep sleeper. I guess, given the circumstances, that was a mercy...

Genuinely surprised it ended in a car crash. With how much of a bitch Serah's mom we being, this 100% could have ended in a much different way that will still give Serah that same feeling of being the reason why a divorce happened.

Welp, that is embarrassing. I've never been more wrong in my whole life..

Oh fuck....

Now all we can do is wait and hope it’s a truck and not a train.

... Why must you people always jinx us...

well... truck or train this is very important due to impact conditions. If its a truck, then: impact momentum of the collision will be compensated by the not very high weight of the truck, friction against road, and rapidly inertia falling. There main blow will fall on mother and she will also become like a "shock absorber" for father. She must die from impact, car deformation, and resulting injuries.
Father will survive but be disabled. The kids will be in the hospital for a month with severe but not fatal injuries, because they not in main impact vector.

the mass of a train can be 100 times greater than that of a truck and travels on a railroad.
because of this, there will be almost no drop in inertia, and the friction will be absorbed by the sleepers.
as a result, after a killometer, instead of a car, there will be separate pieces of bloodied metal

I hope I answered why "train or truck" is important

Just as I suspected distracted driving. I'm just glad Seb is okay too it could've been a whole family wipe out.

Holy... Well, in these few month, Blackkitten blew my mind and cut my heart twice.
And I love that. Best incest comic ever!

I wonder how Seb didn't get turned into a Lynx pancake like his mom.

Judging off the distance covered in the first 3 panels, it looks like the truck would hit the SUV on the back right passenger side door where Seb is.

There it is, my Hollywood movie cliche scene prediction was right! Real shit tho... thats hella sad

The thing about trains too is that there is ZERO cushioning on the locomotives used in North America. One of those will take an impact from any four-wheeler and have little more than paint scrapes, while the four-wheeler is reduced to a tangled mass of metal. And unlike a truck, where there is nothing to hang up on, a train’s coupler often punches through and catches in the cabin, ensuring the car isn’t pushed off to the side.

Probably because he's asleep. For the same reason that drunk drivers often survive their own crashes, a relaxed body sustains less injuries in a crash.

if indeed the mother (Bethany) really died in the crash, it was more terrible than we thought, because Serah saw her mother die in the crash, thinking she was responsible for the crash, and keith saw his wife die in front of his eyes, and he lives with the fact that he could never answer her question, and knowing that he was responsible for his wife dying because he was not watching the road because of the fight.

...oh fuck...

regardless of circumstances - this absolutely breaks my heart - I am reminded of House where 13 went to pick him up only to lose her life in the end.

You know what's sad? during the summer There was 2 car accidents near town where the lives of 2 children and 2 adults in golf carts. Caused by a drunk driver passing a stop sign in June.

And then a few weeks later in July Another car accident claimed the life of a high school kid at the spot (Mason) and then Another passenger died at the hospital 2 weeks after(Sam) that. Both of them Teenagers that went to that school. Here is a link that shows up the aftermath of such crashes.

https://youtu.be/qGG0LGU3KBM

I cannot believe that Sebastian made it out of that unharmed. And you know their dad blames himself..

I know this is a flashback, but last time we saw Serah she was dosing off to sleep. I wonder if she has a recurring dream about this.

As someone who has followed this comic from the beginning, this explanation is what we needed and the right path to go down in terms of story.

well, i already didn't like jayden for acting vulgar whore and forcing Serah "to accept help" she didn't ask for or want to receive from her through blackmail.
And seeing as she is a shadow that has already been looming over this family I definitely already feel disgusted with her.

Jayden did nothing wrong though. Serah was the first to antagonize her about her profession, to which Jayden quipped back. Serah fucked up and spilled the beans to her in the shower, to which Jayden let her know it was only a matter of time until they both messed up and we're caught, which just happened. We still haven't seen the tail end of their last conversation, but she literally only offered to help, really only for Keith's sake, according to her. But I bet she actuality cares for the twins too. She was basically out of the picture until the mother, Bethany, turned her existence into a problem.

I saw this coming from a mile away.
And it still hurts to see :(

It's actually a fun fact that children are quite a bit more durable than adults for their size. With the way that bipedal children like to explore they have to be. Also the fact that he is a asleep is a good thing, he's more lax and unlikely to tense up, with the amount of force coming at them right now tensing up would probably just make things worse.
And truck aside there doesn't appear to be much that Seb could injure himself on aside from the door.

tomatofan said:

Oh shit, I just realized those were headlights when I noticed the stop sign. It all makes sense though. Why she told morissa that she didn't want to make seb disappear too.

Having been t-boned, I can attest that the kids should not have been fine. My car was hit in the back quarter just behind the door, and that was in 2018. It was hit in the back left and I was a front passenger. I still have back problems. I was in physical therapy for six months and it didn't do anything to help. That was a 30mph collision from someone who ran a stop sign. Car was totaled but I still have it.

The kids at the very least would have had whiplash. Kids are more durable, but there's no way they would have left a t-bone unscathed unless the luck of the gods was on their sides. Cars are notoriously weak on the sides unless it's a Volvo.

I think the biggest thing that's being shown to us is that fact that Seb is asleep, being limp like that allows people to survive insane stuff, if you saw the collision coming, it most definitely made everything worse for you.
Theres many stories of drunk people being unharmed in absolutely insane collisions, and then story's of people dieing in 15mph rear end collisions (usually because of not wearing seatbelts) the amount of variables to a collision are endless, and I think it's not too unbelievable here that the mother would've died while everyone else survived.

Can’t wait till the rest of these chapters are colored.

this explains so much. It explains why Serah blames herself for the accident, but also why she detests her father so much. she woke up to see her parents arguing, her dad being extremely frustrated, mom being clearly hurt and upset, and hes just "brushing it off" (because she didnt see the whole argument, so doesnt have all the context) and then the next thing, a car accident that claims her moms life. she probably mentally blames both herself AND her dad, and given his behavior (likely his own coping of blaming HIMSELF) of drinking excessively, likely being emotionally distant, and what Serah sees as hooking up with prostitutes, its probably really easy for her to dump all that anger on him.

Not to suck off the ghost of Sigmund Freud or anything, but a traumatic incident at a young age involving the death of a family member could explain a paraphilic desire for incest as a coping mechanism to keep one's family members close.

tomatofan said:

Previous page, second panel Keith said "I TOLD you about it so you'd know i'm not going anywhere". He literally told her about it, and therefore the first to bring it up. He didn't want Bethany to think he was going behind her back. And really, i doubt he would but now Bethany is out of the picture he doesn't have to worry about that. He's not trying to "avoid" the conversation, he simply doesn't want to play this game she's throwing at him.

Yeah, her persisting like that is kind of immature with seemingly the only reason why she would be lashing out this is her insecurity, she really let them control her and her behavior did NOT look pretty. While Keith really should have been focusing and is definitely THE ONE responsible for the crash (Unless it turns out it wasnt them and it was the guy that crashed into them), I cant blame him too much for getting a bit worked up considering how she's acting. I feel really bad for keith, because he probably still loved and cared about her, and the last conversation he ever had with her was THIS. This is such a shitty situation, and nobody here deserved this, however nobody should excuse how Bethany acted. Talk about things and express your feelings like an adult and in a comfortable environment, and definitely dont get into heated bickering while in a moving car with your kids in the backseat

So she blames herself for the mom being gone cause Keith looked away from the road to tell her not now. Makes sense.

Truck hit her square on, dead, Keith lost his missing bits in the accident. Seb was asleep and limp and both lids in seatabelt so they survived with minimal damage.

It's a truck, probably something from the 1980's. If I HAD to pick a model the headlights look a lot like a Chevy K-10 but a lot of trucks from around that time had the same squares on top with small rectangles below headlight design.

If this WERE a train there would be nothing left for our story here. Freight trains in the U.S. are allowed to go anywhere from 10 mph to 70 or 80 mph, it varies wildly. So we'll assume somewhere around 50. Now from what I can find the average freight train will weight between 3,000 and 18,000 tons so let's go with 10,000. 10,000 tons moving at 50 Miles Per Hour comes out to about 2,266,201,376.2 joules. That's the same energy as 1,194 pounds (541 kg) of TNT.
Now it's spread over a long period as the train has to come to a stop but that is still a shit load of energy to pump into what seems to be an average family car, if this were a train this would be a comic about chunky marinara sauce rather than the cute incestuous lynx twins we all know and love.

It was definitely keith who ran the stop sign. You could blame him but then someone would blame Serah, someone would blame bethany, then there'd be the asshole blaming Seb for snoring to loudly. Personally I think the blame lies with both parents but Bethany instigated the argument knowing full well that Keith was behind the wheel.
And I can't even lie, that look of what i can only assume is pure spite in Bethany's eyes in the third panel being directed to Serah just makes me feel all the less sorry for her, something tells me this isn't the first time this has happened. Both parents put their kids in danger, Bethany should have waited until they got home. Keith could have pulled over, people should NEVER drive while they're annoyed.

"I'm just offering help one last time. If not, then we'll just pretend this never happened."

Yes, she offered help. We don't know how yet, but she's definitely not lording it over the twins, and certainly not profiting off keeping the secret through "blackmail".

I'd say responsibility here goes Bethany>Keith. Both should have acted differently, but Keith was mostly reacting to a major distraction and failing to take proper precautions while in an emotionally charged situation, while Beth was actively causing an unsafe situation for no good reason and without need. The kids were just bysitters and would have made little difference either way. It likely wouldn't have changed anything if they weren't in the car, as Keith already wasn't reacting to the Stop sign when Sarah first made herself known (consider the distance, Keith would have had to slam the brakes to stop in time by the second panel and Seb doesn't move at all. For a proper stop, he would have had to start braking before the first panel.)

When e621 says the post contains a blacklisted tag, and you see it’s imminent_death 😀

Moral of the story: if there is going to be an argument, don't have it while you (or the person whom you are arguing with) are DRIVING.

Also "no strings attached"? Really?

At least the asshole that started the argument was the one that died.

One thing I don't see anyone mentioning and one that I find very interesting is how Bethany looks just before the collision, she's arguing with her husband and pushing a topic she feels incredibly strong about. Her expression is the last thing Serah sees and when someone experiences these moments nearly everything is burned into your mind. I can easily see that face being burned into Serah's and it gives of a feeling of Bethany feeling bad, not for what she's arguing about, more that she snapped at her daughter. For Serah that face can connect to her guilt, that face could easily be seen now as 'why did you say anything, I didn't see my own death.' Or any sort of blame.

Then Keith, he would have seen her face too, this is also what I love about Black-kitten's art so much. I can see a lot of expression and that face is almost haunting, more so if you've followed the comics so far. It's really interesting to think about and for as much as Serah argues and looks down on Keith this is probably the singular moment that they share in common, that face and the moment time stopped in their mind to take it all in.

You mean they actually went with the whole car crash killed your mother angle? Kind of a cop out tbh... There are lots of ways a family can disintegrate whether it be with a death or not that are true to life and more interesting :\ You see car crash being used all the time.

But this is a furry incest comic so I'm not inclined to care much more than that! XD

I see why Serah would blame herself, though. She probably thinks she distracted them from that stop sign... But in reality they were already distracted enough with the arguing. And didn't Keith see the stop sign coming up and the 18 wheeler approaching? Not really blaming him though. Shit happens.

I actually have to disagree. If you're distracted while driving the correct thing to do isn't "try to focus on both the distraction and driving", it's "pull over until you're no longer distracted". Probably would have ended the argument pretty fast as well.

You're not disagreeing at all. What do you think "proper precautions" would entail in this situation?

All these comments... it's amazing to see so many people emotionally invested in this story. That shows really good writing on Black-kitten's part.
Respect.

So that thing I said on the most recent comic page? Yeah ignore me saying to cite this part. I uh... Wow how did I forget... Holy shit dude

vehicular manslaughter :)

mmmmm, car crash kills parents trope becuase look at child in back makes me grumpy. It is so overplayed.

There are other ways to do this 😭

There it is. A car crash that Serah believes she caused, probably thinking she was the distraction that lead to it.

Still find it crazy that both the kids ended up unharmed. Seb is on the same side of the crash and is fine.

Actually with how distant those lights still are and the implication their car is moving steadily through the intersection, it's pretty likely Seb is the one getting hit full on. Not the intention of course, just the way the image turned out.
