Ooooohh itโs really cool how in the last two panels, the remains of Pandoraโs box are shown differently. Only in the last panel when the lighting changes do we see the cracks in the lid, and the other half changes from an ambiguous silhouette to shattered, separated pieces with little hope of repair.
Itโs amazing how a little thing like that can get across the crushing realization of the situation. That combined with Athena falling to her knees really gets across her despair here.
And in contrast, where she falls Sonic rises, reaching out to help her. I love all the details so much ๐๐๐
