The details of the facial expressions and character postures really capture the emotional moments very well.



It's clear that Nick has A LOT of explaining to do since it has been implied he knew more than he has been letting on, and with regards to his relationship with the administrator, her bunny Enforcer, and of course...name-dropped in this page, Mr Big. So that guy does exist in this universe, and I have a feeling he's going to be a much darker godfather like character who probably rules a large part of the Zootopia underworld with connections to a number of animals in the government itself.



While Neveen had make some good points with regards to her role in the government as well as her 'vision' of sorts, I can't help but be slightly cautious with regards to her character and philosophical view. If she was given this much power to pretty much do whatever she pleases then the question remains is who keeps her in check? Even the best intentions can inadvertently turn into something less...noble if given the time to fester. I can't help but see Neveen as a intensely complicated and rather manipulative character in her own right, and strangely enough this instead makes me like her overall character even more. Not that I'm making any conclusions at the moment, but I'm definitely looking forward to maybe how she knows Nick and what else happened between them. Bonus points given for the surprise hug, although I wonder what Jack's expression would have been at that particular moment.



Judging from Neveen's words when Mr Big has been mentioned, she probably worked with him at some point, possibly even with Nick as well. Although what happened that caused her to leave his employ would definitely be something readers would love to know...and I suspect it wasn't going to be a pleasant memory. It's also clear that Judy's quite cautious around Neveen, since she isn't really sure whether the administrator is her ally or not...although I'm leaning towards a potential ally given Neveen's actions.



Neveen's line with regards to the light and shadows got me thinking as well: The question is how does one stay dry when the storm is above their heads and they were surrounded by shadows when there's no light? Do they become the light itself to push back the shadows (possibly alluding to Judy), and with someone to protect them from the storm (alluding to Nick being Judy's bodyguard)? I might be reading a little too much into it, but given what Nick and Judy had been through so far it's clear that a storm is coming, bringing the shadows along with them.



'Be careful around the wolves' - That's possibly a warning...I think. Is it in a literal sense or a metaphorical sense, I guess we shall see in the next few chapters or possibly more.



Looks like Nick had to come clean with Judy, or as clean as he would allow himself. But then again, Judy's character has developed tremendously through the chapters, and it's clear to me that she isn't going to take any other answer other than the full and total truth. So the ball is in Nick's court, and I wonder what he's going to do with it.



Keep up the excellent work, you have crafted an amazing story with commendable artwork to go along with it.



I hope one day to see a 'Shadow Council' made of foxes, because that's possibly what this story is hinting to me...or is it?
