Aunt Alice got a little too worked up, and shared too much. Now Violet is broken.
There was a bit more back & forth I’d planned between Alice & Lily – after Alice’s headache sets in, Lily would tell her there are cookies in the pantry, prompting Alice to question how that would help her.
“It worked when you were little!” Lily would say, with Alice firing back “NO IT DIDN’T!! IT JUST CONTRIBUTED TO WEIGHT ISSUES I’M STILL DEALING WITH TO THIS DAY!!!”
…the page needed the silence in the middle, though.
One thing that’s been noted is that the transition from the previous page to this one is a bit jarring, almost as if there’s something missing. There is a simple explanation for that – it’s been almost a year, and my original plan was to just end this part of the story at the previous page, with no further details about the Disney incident. But folks wanted more information, so earlier this year I’d thought about having Alice explain everything to Violet during their ride home. That idea was boring, to me, so here we are.
In short – blame it on re-shoots!
