Carefully and slowly, he traced eight boxes on a blank page, ending up with two columns of four. Hidekaz grimaced again as he tried to draw China sputtering at Hong Kong's accusations and found his left hand refused to move in the way he wanted it to. He decided he'd redraw this later as well and his lines became looser as wrote "I-It's not all my fault! I wasn't the only one who kept a Zack. What about Russia?!" into a speech bubble. He drew Yao vaguely pointing at the barely recognizable figure of Ivan.
"Oh?" the messy close-up of Ivan said mildly in the next panel, the new cross necklace swinging from his neck. "I never let any of mine escape and get away with it. Besides, I didn't capture it like you, I merely took it from Japan."
Hidekaz scowled at the tiny blob in the background that was supposed to be a shocked Kiku and hurriedly moved down to the next panel.
A sweating Kiku leaned back from Yao's words of "I got my Zack from Japan too! He tried to attack me with them!"
"How unexpectedly bloodthirsty, Japan," Ivan breathed into a horrified Kiku's ear in the column's last box. "Perhaps I should let you become one with the Holy Russian Empire first ..."
'Maybe I should give Ivan a rock instead of a pipe. It's more appropriate with that whole anti-mutiny thing Russia had going on with his soldiers,' Hidekaz thought to himself, scribbling nearly illegible facts about the "Cherry Blossom" and "Strugeon" projects, as well as the "Isle of the Damned", underneath the comic. He also added a few things about the formation of the Holy Russian Empire, scratching out a rough sketch of Father Segei Ryzhkov holding a smoking gun and Ivan looking on admiringly behind him.
Finding himself relaxing even more as he added 'moooooan' in every available space of the finished panels to symbolize the unrelenting cries of the siafu.
Hidekaz's eyelids drooped to half-mast when he traced out Kiku's crying face as he held out a tanto. "I-I'm deeply sorry! I will commit seppuku to cleanse myself of the dishonor I committed against the world!!" the drawing said shakily on the page. This felt really wrong.
Yes, Japan had the highest suicide rate during the war, but ... this was reminding him far too much of the oba-san next door, who had hung herself when she heard Osaka had fallen to the saifu and her remaining family was most likely dead.
He crossed out that panel and drew another one beside it, making an arrow to three below to indicate continuation.
