Veronica: That is a bitchin snowman i tell ya what

I feel sad that this page might come across like Jasmine is ANTI-TOUCH, but I think she’s just suspicious of Paulo’s weirdness and he himself hasn’t been forward with Jasmine, so she’s just confused about what he’s trying to do.

It’s kinda sad that there seems to be an air between them.

I’m starting to agree with the Lucy x Paulo shippers about him needing to break up with Jasmine.

But it’s not because I dislike Jasmine. I like her. She’s rather nice, and she’s been good to Paulo. Sweet Girl; doesn’t deserve to be caught up in all the drama, and hopefully won’t be.

Paulo needs to be fair to her, about his feelings toward Lucy. Jasmine’s offering him the same amount of affection Lucy would offer him. She deserved to be treated straight up. But if Paulo’s attention is that unfocused off of her, then he should be straight with her about it. They still make good friends, but it’s painfully obvious who Paulo actually loves.

Taeshi, Jas’ face looks… different. I like her the best in the top two and bottom two. The ones in the middle seem… off.

Jazz is not upset, she just thinks Paulo is acting kinda strange all of the sudden. I think Paulo is apologizing, because he realizes that he’s acting weird.
What a difficult position Paulo has placed himself in. It’s clear that he still has feelings for Lucy, but the awkward part of it all, is that he’s in a relationship with Jazz, who is a very nice girl (I see no reason to begrudge her).
This is one of those “difficult calls” where everyone isn’t probably going to come out of this happy, but that’s part of life. Only in movies, stories, and comics can everything pan out in an idealistically and beautiful manner.
Tis the difference between “reality” and “fantasy”.
