oop, just noticed something off here. Panel 3, Noah's missing his collar.

Lol the Malhart kids probably won't like you guys

Self-delusion: Shattered.

Okay, I thought the neck exploders (nexploders?) didn't show in the closeups because they were just missing from that spriteset, but here we are with panels #2 and #3.

Oh hush, Noah, this will be good for you.

Just don't let her touch you.

I feel you on a spiritual level, Noah

Noah's expression in panel 3 is priceless

I can't wait for the next new page where they surely come say hi, quickly abandon any hard feelings, then go get ice cream and become besties :)

I'm sure they'll be friends and not be looking for a chance to make it so someone has an accident. Actually those collars are going to be a bit of a death trap if another student decides to off another.

Here's hoping Noel had a chance to put in a good word for Noah with his found family.

By the looks of Natasha, she's positively overjoyed to see Noah again.

Oh Noah, you and your delulu introvert ideas.

Malhart kids, though? Interesting topic of conversation.

Lol, c'mon Noah, you *knew* Cellia was grouped with you. Cellia seems too pleasant and happy with her bright eyes to fit in with this dreary crowd. Unlike Noah. Noah's contemplative frown blends right in.

I see Noah has not just one friend in that class already but a whole group of friends
