Yeah, Benny, that was not fucking cool. And your stepfather understands why this is a sore point for you, and is willing to let you talk and vent about it, but this was neither the time or the place for it.
My heart goes out to both Benny and Selkie. Also, say what you will about her lack of seriousness, but she’s NINE. I’d be concerned if she was fully serious…just to get that all too real bomb dropped. Death hasn’t even entered her life much if at all yet, so that’s like triple the shock
The reason this page doesn’t _quite_ work is that Selkie’s “can I cuss” at the end of the previous page indicates that she’s taking this horrible news in stride.
I think it shows that Benny’s revelation took a few moments for Selkie to fully process it. She fixated on the “bad word” before realizing the gravity of the subject.
Choose your words wisely, Benny.
Also, no further descriptions of homicide either, ideally.
I mean, he didn’t actually say “and then they processed him.”
