Materia Enhanced V, page 9 WIP 1 (Patreon)

Okay, I wanted this to be a montage, and it had to connect to page 10.  That means Rikku had to be stressed out about lying, and we had to go through several breaks around town to use the materia.

Trip out #1:  Rikku fails again, but lies again to Yuffie.

Trip out #2: I just thought something funny with Yuffie.  She might sneak up to Rikku and scare her in the last panel.

Trip out #3: Rikku is getting more emotional.  But she still lies to Yuffie.

Trip out #4: This one will be Yuffie again, probably some growth shown.

I don't know if these panels seem too small?  I thought the story needed to show some time pass.  Then we have the next page with Rikku taking a break on her next trip out, then this is where things start to change.  After Yuffie leaves, Rikku realizes Amy might be a willing option.  Then I might have some silly obvious on-in-a-million situations for Rikku out on the street for her to grow someone.  Then the start of the wrap up of the chapter.

The next chapter would be about Yuffie (where this one was about Rikku, and the previous one about Tifa), and the one after that about Amy.
