It really was worth it.
Shame on you, people who are happy Noah got character development.
Do you understand what it took? Do you? HM?!

The contingency is missing in the last panel.
All it took for Noah to experience character growth was to throw him in a potentially world ending nightmare war!
Don't care. More mouse bi- I mean, character development.
If I'd known unleashing the nightmares would lead to Windows developing his character, I'd have shot Malhart myself (presuming I had one of those guns that can shoot fictional characters of course).
Well if Noah is going to motivate himself to be stronger a constant parade of horrors is about the only thing that might have done. So proud of him for taking that last step and for his normal noble reasons and attitude.
I look forward to how everyone reacts to his scars as we move on and how many people think he's happy now. Just so long as he doesn't dye his hair green, wear a purple suit and start talking about how he got those scars we should all be fine!
Alright, I'm putting this here and now so that our dear author recognizes the huge potential his work has.
Those Noah speech bubbles *are* moods.
-Hey congrats on getting your PhD you must be ecstatic!
-Yeah. All it took was being terrified, tortured [...]
-Really was worth it.
Or maybe:
-Hey, glad you finally left that low paying job at that company.
-I motivate myself by the fact that I do not want to be at the mercy of torture monsters.
Really golden star kind of reactions. Sure, situational, but precise.
He's also going to socialize. Willingly.
"Torture monsters" is an apt way to describe his enemies, especially the nightmare dentist.
Yep! Can't wait to see what you throw at him next, Neo :)
It's probably not a comparison you find flattering, but Noah really does remind me of Jerry from Rick and Morty sometimes; and never more than here.
There's nothing -wrong- with him, intellectually or ethically, he's just painfully frustrating for a society that massively overvalues initiative and confidence to watch. And when the chips are down, he usually comes through... but only when they're -really- down.
But also... that worth it line is... definitely a familiar sentiment. 'Oh, am I -cool- enough for you now?... All it cost me was FUCKING EVERYTHING.'
