        Panel 1: Caden rubs the back of his neck with a huge smirk on his face and says “Right…My car is over on the side and I already promised Thel a ride home.”
	Panel 2: Thel looks to the side. “Sorry Anilah.”
	Panel 3: Anilah flinches as Caden approaches her. He throws his arms open,  feigning joy for a hug, “Hey! It was fun!”
	Panel 4: Caden gives Anilah an uncomfortable hug and says “It was good seeing you! I was worried you’d take this super hard but I’m so happy that we can still be friends. I hope you have a good one!”
	Panel 5: Thel gives Anilah a sideways hug with a smirk as the world around them blurs away, she says something that can’t quite be made out.
	Panel 6: Thel and Caden smile brightly at each other as they walk away in the other direction from where Anilah was headed. They say something that can’t be made out but hearts decorate the outside of the word bubbles.

Is it too late to mention that this is loosely based off of some stuff I actually went through in real life? I gotta say, getting dumped on graduation night in a super vague way, having a shit ton of his friends (and someone you thought was your friend) join on what was supposed to be a more private discussion on your relationship while he spent the game chatting with her, only to get dumped in front of everyone in a very public place with her standing right there, with some sort of bullshit excuse of "I don't wanna date while in school" only to see that they're officially a thing shortly after? 0/10 experience, don't recommend as bowling can still be hard for me sometimes. It was particularly hard that day as I came back home to my parents arguing. I remember just saying that I was home, quickly running upstairs and just sitting there in the dark for the longest time trying to process what the hell just happened.

A good majority of War Drums will be fiction, but some parts will be very real.

The next update of War Drums will be the rest of chapter one, but will not be out for a bit and may take longer than usual. In the meantime, we suggest following our accounts below and watching out for blog posts! There will be points where we drop bits of lore, species information, and tell you about this strange version of Earth! (and maybe drop some merch 👀)
