I know the feeling. You never really get over your first relationship, no matter how hard to try.



Honestly, I know people were shipping them from the beginning, but I don't think Rain/Maria would've worked out.



From what we saw of Maria's feelings for Rain, a lot of them were primarily physical. Maria thought she was pretty, that she had "beautiful perfect legs", etc. Not that I disagree (a lot of the time I forget Rain is trans), but she never really said much about Rain's personality in that context, which I don't feel is really good foundation for a relationship. After all, there's a lot more to relationships than just appearance and orientation. I think they're much better as friends.



With Chanel, she had a lot more common ground. The two hung out, did things together, Chanel helped her patch things up with her friends, and they both gradually found themselves attracted to the other. Their date night is one of my favorite parts from this comic because they really go into depth about their feelings for one-another. All the prejudice, bullying, and misery they both endure on a regular basis, but how their love is stronger than all of it. They promised to stay together no matter what. That part made me tear up when I first read it.



Not sure what Emily and Maria's relationship was like, considering it only lasted one month, but it clearly meant something to both of them. Even if it left them both with a lot of regrets.



Here's hoping everything manages to work out between them all.



Sorry for rambling, just getting my thoughts out. I've never been quite as invested in a comic as I am with this one.
