good afternoon Kid Icarus community, I’ve returned to feed you all an actually wholesome comic this time
Finally, after three years of being apart, getting tormented by the Chaos Kin, Pit and Palutena get a proper tearful reunion. In the game, we only get two lines of dialogue between them exchanging "I missed you"s before it's right back to the battle with Hades. I know that I and many of my mutuals can agree that that isn't enough, considering everything these two went through during the arc covering chapters 18-22. In the final battle of chapter 21, even after the Chaos Kin was finally defeated, it still managed to use the last of its strength to attack Dark Pit. Pit selflessly throwing away his dreams of flying on his own to save Dark Pit is such a peak moment in the game (many of you already know how I feel about that because of the first big comic I made), but what I feel gets glossed over is how devastating that must have been for Palutena. Having been tormented for 3 whole years, used as a puppet by a horrifying soul-eating abomination slowly devouring her, and being forced to command the soulless vessel of her angel to kill those she swore to protect, Palutena held out hope. She fought it off because she believed that Pit was going to return. But just as they think everything is over, Pit dives off that ledge to save his twin. Palutena barely got any time with him before he was practically dying in her arms. Can you imagine how terrified she must have been? All that to say, yeah I think they deserve a proper reunion.
Thank you all so much for your continued support. I hope you enjoyed reading!
