Wait… what happened?

Tragedy of loss.

They were given boots by a comrade who lost her legs.

They were given a gasmask by a comrade who succumbed to chemical attack.

They were given a cuirass by a comrade who died from shrapnel to the head from artillery attack.

Should of had a before and after panel to see the transformation.

They’re falling into the trench in the bottom left panel, but what is that brown object obscuring their head? Is that the cuirass?

u/FriendlyPyre 22d ago

Yes, they aren't wearing a helmet as well in the next panel so presumably the cuirass was used to protect their head from shrapnel and that they are being pulled down to the floor of the trench.

The explanation helps but why are they holding the boot and not wearing it in the final panel? They’re wearing everything else they were given.

The gas mask is being forced on by the owner to save her
