It's official! Bandit is a jerk.

Of course, the REAL him is also a jerk.

just in a different way

No Jake is pretty chill

And that persona’s pets murdered her friend. I do not think that she likes people who perpetuate such personae.

Oheylook! Bandit has a “-” at the end of his line, as though his line is being interrupted. I wonder what that could be? Probably Sandra? With a “I am so done with these children” expression?

yeah lol

this is not Danni being clueless this is Danni being ‘you are NOT TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY???’

The story takes a nice path. I like that these two finally get to talk seriously to each other. And here I was wondering for the longest time how he was ever supposed to gain anyone’s trust by being a jerk. I remember how I kept asking that question in the comments during the Game until he explained it to her in a whisper back then. The persona thing makes sense. It’s still a difficult path, but at least it’s a path. I am sooooo hoping that he casually introduces himself to Kat as Jake. 😀 I mean, his task is befriending her, so giving her his real name is an obvious thing he should do.

The art is pretty, too. It’s good to see that the pages are uploaded earlier and earlier for channel members. It means your buffer increases, right? Must be because of the background. 😀

Just one thing:
Bandit’s right eye in panel 6 looks like it’s too big. In panel 4 it doesn’t go all the way to the edge of his face, but in panel 6 it does even though the angle looks very similar. I think he turned his head slightly to the left (e.g. because the line of his nasal bone is gone), in which case the eye should be even further away from the edge, not closer.
And they generally take up so much more space than Danni’s in panel 5. Puppy-Bandit! 😀
Also what happened to the line below his mouth? I checked the last few pages and literally everyone has it, even Kat’s old avatar.

Looks like he’s pulling his jaw tight! Kinda flattens everything out when you do it, so you don’t have that line denoting a slight shadow under where your lips stick out, because they aren’t anymore. Feels kinda weird to do if I’m not actively in speech, but it fits his tone there (and the drawn shape of his mouth itself)
Not something you really expect to see drawn in stylized 2d-animation outside of certain caricatured faces, though!

Ah, the difference between ‘this is me, but on the internets!’ and roleplaying. *slow clap* I tend to be the former.

If Jake introduced himself to Kat there is a good chance Kat would bolt and Jake knows it

Chances of her believing him are….think I’d rather buy a lottery ticket.
