"To be honest, I was so scared the moment Lucas pulled the last Needle. I did have faith, though. I had faith, but I felt a kind of fear so bad that I almost expected my entire body to blow apart. But, as you can see, everyone is just fine! We've regained something incredibly immense!"
"Dunno why, but I can't stop my tears from comin' out. What is this feeling? What could it be?"
"This is the first time I've ever seen you cry, Kumatora. You're really cute, now that I look."

^ That one little bit of dialogue at the end of Mother 3, for whatever reason, has the power to turn me into EVEN MORE of a blubbering wreck than I've already been reduced to. 8____8 oh god I love these two. And this game, more than I know how to express. I've been replaying it lately and am now nearing the ending...and I know that knowing what to expect this time around is not going to make things a fraction easier on my heartstrings, sob
Also, with the exception of some minor photoshop touch-ups, this is the first thing I've drawn start-to-finish in SAI (HUFFFF this program ♥n♥) so the shading I tried was a little...experimental
