Chapter 9, Page 18: Unvarnished Truth
What we see in the first panel is us almost seeing Daniel’s point of view for the mirror but not quite seeing his face. Honestly, I had a bit of a mental debate of whether to show that or the faint shadow we saw before…but I thought almost seeing it would be more dramatic. Hopefully it’s that and not just very confusing.
But if you’re wondering, no, I’ll never show what Daniel sees as his face in mirrors. I never planned to. Why? Because what could I possibly show that wouldn’t be lame? What could I possibly show that could instill that amount of fear in someone? Oh, I’m sure I could’ve stuck a creepy face in there or something and you would’ve gotten the idea, but I personally think it’s better as unknown thing, left to the imagination.
