Poor girl. She's so down on herself. Unfortunately as much as it hurts that Audrey looks at her the way he does, it's exactly what Val needs. She sees how much better she COULD be. And thats terrifying. And beautiful.

Ready or not cause here Audrey comes to your apartment!

Also this panel is AMAZING

This is the incel/femcel mindset. Every gaze, every glare is judgemental. Idk how familiar you are with the ehm... "culture", but I've seen it. Of course at times it might actually be due to lack of hygiene or offensive shirt or whatever, but Val isn't like that.

Val doesn't value herself at all. She believes she is disgusting and that is incredibly sad! Audrey can help her only so much, she has to do the actual hard work here.

Hopefully Val will be able to pull herself out of that mindset!

Sometimes it just takes a push to get started, but you have to do a majority of the work yourself! And you have to want it.

Indeed. I believe Val has some 'want'. She's out of the generic baggy clothes and has become outgoing with Audrey.

She has to want to go out herself, not for the sake of Audrey. I believe that's possible!

I definitely feel like that's where the comic is going. She's cleaning her room!

I'm so invested in these two.

Audrey definitely isn't the type to judge if there's a mess or two, he might even offer a helping hand!

I'm sure he doesn't think a place of living has to look like it came out of IKEA catalogue!

He is good for her, absolutely! Maybe she'll even see that it's much nicer to be in a cleaner environment!
