Is that... is that really the last panel??

omg this is beautiful

Denial... Anger... Bargaining... Depression... Acceptance... I went through all these, each and every one of them, when my first wife died. Denial was mainly in the dreams: "You're here? Don't go... Please come back, I love you so much." Anger at myself: "I should have pushed her to go to the doctor sooner. Should have started pushing on that new treatment." Anger at the Universe: "F...ing fate!" Bargaining and Depression came together, in waves, like someone would punch me in the gut and usually after I put the kids to sleep. I just lay on the floor, curled and cry, begging her to come back... sometimes would fall asleep right there, in front of her picture. Acceptance took me years. I slowly lifted myself out of that abyss... I re-married, I can say I'm happy and my wife is a blessing. The sadness is still there though, and when my first wife's birthday comes, it hurts like hell. I just live with that pain, it never goes. That black hole in my consciousness is still there.

Beautifully drawn with deep message. Becomes more relatable while reading

That's right girl...."No" he does not deserve another chance.

Not sure I'd call that "inspired by Icarus" much but that's a very pretty story and it may sound weird but I don't think that's a bad end. It's obviously not a happy one but perhaps the right one. Second(and the third, fourth and so on) chances don't always end well. I'd even say good job solar girl ;P

Forgive my stupidity: does anybody know who the message was from? (panel before "the beautiful fire of new love")

I feel like they both had a weakness. Icarus was his inner fears and doubts about himself. Sun girls was being able to love and be safe in that love. Icarus started to over think his problems would bring her down or wouldn’t be fair to her. So he decided to handle them on his own. She doesn’t see it the same way or understands. She thought about him at the basics of his character, and what her weakness is was the fact she was afraid of love and most of all rejection. What lacked in this relationship was communication which should’ve followed with a delayed reaction on both ends. After the breakup she hurt him because of the breakup, causing her to burn his wings off in a panel. So his fears of being rejected by his insecurities that he thought he was avoiding were brought on quickly. He hurts but he survived learning rejection won’t kill you. He sees a new self capable of pure love. She realizes what she’s capable of by holding back so she can do the same.

He didn't come back because he had done the work to change himself. He admitted to still having the same issues. He only came back because it hurt him being without her. Her expression changed when he said that. The dogs had it right - he was selfish. If he had come back a changed man, I think she would have said yes. But he only came back for himself, not for her.

Don’t hate me: she says “no” because before he love her because.... she was her. But he only came back....not because he loved her....because without her he’s in pain....as much as she hates it....she knows selfish when she sees it....and she’s learned to not mess with pain....love....or fate.

How is it that when she said "no" that I'm the one in denial?

This comic is not a collaborative work; it's a one-sided arrangement. Self-talk. Really driving the point home, e.g. dying bird, overthinking a*****e, "No." It sounds like the author really cares. But honestly, there was nothing to lose between them because nothing began between them, or at least something was felt in the beginning—something true—but neither believed in / knew themselves enough at the time for them to take the plunge together. Self-consciousness is a key that can both lock and open one's heart and experience is the key that unlocks where the instructions for the first key are to be found.

powerful stuff.

I love these

This is wonderful

Yeah...I love this.

<3 I am IN LOVE WITH THIS STORY. And the illustrations, I want more!

What? This is the end?? She just directly said "no"..

the ending-

thats sad i willl die crying it is so beautiful with such an ending

Tell me theres more! Please

It's very beautiful. She's a dork for saying no but that is what life is like. It's just nice to be able to escape in reading to a non reality some times but then again we can relate so much more to the characers.

I can relate to it and I believe the end is fitting. A person I cared and deeply and genuinely loved left me in the very same way. When she returned to me to apologize and start over I gave the very same reply. Why? Because she forgot I was with her both in "heaven and hell". Better to give a chance and walk the same path with a new person...

WHAT?! this one is so realistic. Protect your heart

That’s it!!!!!

where do we find the continuation of the story?

Don't worry, you deserve better, Icarus.

:(

Nice one

❤❤
