Before getting into the plot commentary, I just want to explain that the setting is supposed to be them all heading back to the car from Kellen's apartment (figure this scene is taking place at the exact same time as the last two). This was all written as a conversation for the ride home, but we all know how much I HATE drawing car scenes. The change of walking to it rather than being in it, made this scene ever so slightly less emotionally draining on me. XD
Okay, but being serious here...
It's easy to say, "Just disown your crappy relatives who don't accept you and be done with it." But for a lot of us who've been in the situation where it became a necessity, it's possible there were good times before coming out. They might not be accepting of you now, but deep down you may recall seeing them be good people before. The intolerance almost feels out of character for them. And that makes it all the more frustrating and upsetting. Disowning is a two-way street. It punishes them because they lose you. But you lose the good person they (may have) seemed to have been before that. The good person they should've by all rights STILL been.
Kellen didn't "get away with it." She didn't "win." However, this wasn't exactly a victory for Rain either. They BOTH lost a sister here. Again, I'll be the first to say that things like this really can (unfortunately) be a necessity sometimes. But that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt. That's why Rain's crying in the last panel.
Sorry. I know this is a super mopey chapter and probably hits close to home for a lot of readers. It's a real hard subject, but I think it's important to address in a story like this. It hits close to home for me too, actually. I admit a lot of this is a bit of a means of expressing some of my own frustrations that I never really let out before.
We'll lighten up a little bit next time.
