Page 4: A standard psychiatric suite in a criminal standing. Bed – toilet – floor – walls. Personal items are usually reserved for patients that have proven they can be trusted with them. Arthur’s room is seemingly bare of any such items, even though by this time he’s quite a few years older than when he presumably went in.

Page 3: The scars on Arthur’s wrists are already somewhat visible in this chapter’s flashback (though hidden under his cuffs or sleeves in others). The reason for the scars may be obvious to some, but for those lucky enough not to understand them, psychiatric institutes have a policy to physically restrain non-compliant patients. The standard physical restraints include wrist, ankle, and forehead and torso straps. While the forehead strap is sometimes forgone (proximity to the head = biting potential), the wrists are usually the first parts of the body to be restrained, and thus the restraints struggled against. In deemed medical emergencies, orderlies sometimes carry handcuffs or zip-ties to physically restrain a patient, both of which can leave scars on a patient’s wrists if their struggles traumatize the areas.

Chapter 3: Full of Grace
Page 1: We actually chose the colors of Arthur/C.E. carefully – we wanted to depict the two characters as per their ‘roles’ at the beginning of this chapter. In the first panel, their duality is apparent, with Arthur wearing the bright red to signify his passionate and bloody role, and C.E. wearing a white shirt (essentially keeping her hands ‘clean’) , but a muted red tie, as she’s still the employer of such activities, so not everything can be washed clean.
