I think the intention was that the bandage would be covering it? But the scar goes down the side of Squall's nose; it should definitely be visible here!

Kadowaki: Are you feeling all right?

Below panel: Note to self: draw heads first.

Dr Kadowaki looks nothing like this. I'm sorry I made you look like Mary from Silent Hill 2, doctor. I like your character design! I just didn't know how to draw you!

The 'draw heads first' note came about because I drew Squall body-first in this panel and, as you can see, it did not go well.

Squall: (Dr Kadowaki.) ...My forehead hurts.

Panel 1: Kadowaki: (heh) I'm not surprised. Also, I am suddenly wearing a ninja mask because Harriet messed up on drawing me.

Panel 2: Kadowaki: hmmm.

Below Panel 2: Squall has, apparently, shrunk to miniscule size and turned into a girl. HOORAY.

Panel 3: Kadowaki: Well, you had us all worried, but it looks like your eyes are focusing. You should be fine. Say your name for me.

Below Panel 3: no background, because I am lazy and cannot remember the Infirmary.

Panel 1: wait...

Panel 2: Squall: ...my name?

Panel 3: Name the character.

I cannot express to you how tiny the 'name the character' panel is on the physical page. (Bear in mind that, although I've split it up into multiple images, everything on this site page was originally drawn on one page of A4.) I'm genuinely impressed that my teenage self managed to make her writing that small.

Panel 1: Squall: Are you telling me that anyone can rename me to anything they want?

Panel 2: Kadowaki: So long as it's under ten characters, yes.
Squall: (gotta be kidding.)

(ding!)
Squall: ...Squall. (well, that's certainly a relief, although I'm terribly drawn.)
(shh!)

In case it's unclear, the 'shh' in the lower corner is me shushing Squall. As the artist, I don't want the characters pointing out how bad my art is; that's my job!

Kadowaki: Great! I'll call Quistis and tell her you're ready to go back to lessons.
Squall: ...I've just had my head sliced open, and you're kicking me out?

Ellone (totally not Dr Kadowaki): Squall... so we meet again.
Squall: Huh...?

Next to panel: I can't draw Ellone.

Panel 1: Squall: That was weird...

Below Panel 1: enter stage right

Panel 2: she's meant to be looking amusedly exasperated.

There's actually an 'I can't draw Quistis either' note here, which I have cropped out because it's right at the point where I visibly mess up on drawing Quistis's skirt.

I'd completely forgotten how Quistis's hair looked. Surely I could have looked it up on the Internet? No. It did not occur to me for an instant that I could take this very obvious step. I am drawing all these characters solely from memory.
