The fact that she has always blamed herself, hurts, girl needs so much therapy and love and care.

Oh no

That.

That is what she meant.

Granted it was way too late by the time she said anything, but trauma wasn't gonna let her see that.

Oh no, Sarah sweetie.

Well done Serah. You just kill your dad...

the absolute look of horror on his face when he realizes that she's been blaming herself for that all these years... god BK does so fucking well with expressions.

So either Keith's gonna blame Serah, or he's gonna reaffirm to her it wasn't her fault. That last panel somewhat makes me think it will be the first option, tho.

Keith's not an idiot.
He's not going to blame her for anything, he's just horrified to find out that Serah blames herself for the car accident that took their mom.

If anything I expect Keith will try to console her, be there for her, and mend the relationship.

Brother standing by the door: *drops groceries

Serah, no! It wasn't your fault!
Keith looks absolutely horrified that she thinks the accident was her fault. If anything, he blames himself he was driving and allowed himself to get so distracted by an argument that he missed the stop sign and that's why he fell off so hard (still needed to be there for his kids, of course).

I wonder if Seb knows she feels this way or she kept this guilt buried and hidden even from her brother.

I gasped, audibly.
Keith is about to get fucking demolished emotionally... and probably mentally.

I honestly feel so bad for the two of them, one is but just a young kid with a lot of unresolved guilt, the other a father that failed her when she needed him to be there the most.

You know if BK ever prints the complete comic, I'm definitely buying it.

I think it’s safe to say that this meeting is not going the way Keith imagined it would.

you ever fuck up and didn't realize how badly you fucked up because you only saw the tip of the, "I fucked up", iceberg? That's Keith right now.

Keith, this is your chance. Maybe the last one. Will you run away from everything you've just heard? Or will you be strong and be there for your daughter, even though she may never forgive you?

Man, I'm so invested in these lynxes...

Seb, i dont care if it breaks the story sequence you need to hug your sister right now. Or better yet, after the talk shower her in love.

Now we're hitting the real shit!

Keith shocker: She thinks it was HER fault all this time?

Madre Santa... this gonna be so dense

oh no

The look of an emotionally shattered parent who just realized how much they've missed by letting themselves succumb to their own self pity, guilt, and depression.

In which Keith finally realizes the depth of his fuckup.

Survivor's guilt is a hell of a thing. Kind of figured Sera was blaming herself based off some things she said previously and the last couple of flashback panels

And in that moment, Keith realized just how much the entire ordeal had affected Serah; that for all these years, she always blamed herself for her mom's death. He had started to realize that he had never been there for his kids when they needed him and now it's dawning on him that their sibling intimacy wasn't the only side effect from his failures...that he let his daughter carry this guilt and self-blame for years.

Damn does BK know how to really nail these emotional moments outside of the cute or intimate moments.

Oh no, my poor sweet girl!

This better knock some sense into Keith. His reason feels genuine.
