This was an interesting read! I understood the plot for the most part, but the endings threw me for a little bit of a loop. I think I understand the message that you were trying to convey at the end of the story though.
I really liked the backgrounds and the designs of the characters were neat! I'm a bit confused by what I assume is the ribcage on some of the characters though. It kinda looked like another pair of pecs imo.
And the characters were good as well, I liked the bantering between them, but I think it got a bit overused. But besides that, I liked how the two interacted with each other.
Great job!
