"Read the extended universe material" is never a good answer. The core comic should stand effectively on its own. If this is important, then it should have been a chapter in the main comic in some fashion. Well, there's always this. Ultimately, though, the story focuses on Kat and Annie. A deep dive into secondary characters can only happen so often, which is more or less one of the reasons why there are side stories. Edit: Ninja'd! |

I assume you mean relationship drama? Because in general, drama (including tears) came up the first time on page 26, chapter 2. I was using the slang definition of which the key aspect is irrational response(s) to problems real or imagined, characterized by a desire to achieve impossible and/or mutually exclusive outcomes, typically leading to actions that have disproportionate impacts on innocent bystanders. Sounds like politics to me. Jokes aside, I was not really aware of this usage. It seems very specific to me. But then maybe I am just confused because the word exists in my language too, but is used a bit differently. |

I am honestly tired of Annie getting steamrolled by everyone without properly defending herself. It does make sense; Annie seems to be experiencing a guilty conscience over all the trouble she's (unintentionally) caused, and that feeling of "They've got a point" would hold her back. Oh I am aware and it's perfectly reasonable that she would become much meeker - her spat with Reynardine shows she can be absolutely cruel when put against the wall - but it's tiring from a non-narrative standpoint. Just hoping for some fire after all this trauma. |

But then maybe I am just confused because the word exists in my language too, but is used a bit differently. In English slang "drama" can be used as a verb. Example: "Once while I was stuck waiting at a customer service desk ancient drama wandered by, decided I must be there to stalk her; her ego grew three sizes too big and she drama'd all over the place." ^True story, funny ending when lady I was there with eventually came back |

I have heard neither of these usages before. |

Yeah I already remembered that chapter as I was posting previously. It's not a lot. |
