Description

Remember how I said that William is very protective of John? Well... He's not as useless at it as I originally implied. X)

Anyway, this is meant to show why John doesn't want anything to do with Matthias either- it's not what he did, it's what he didn't do. Matthias is a soft-hearted, gentle guy, but he's also pretty damn self-centered and he screwed up his relationship with John pretty bad; it was basically non-existent. And it didn't dawn on him until after he thought John might actually be dead and then he felt guilty about it.
So he thought that John going back to see him (about the money) was his second chance and that he could fix everything.
Which... No. John doesn't want to fix any of it- he's been trying to just quietly leave it all behind for a very long time.

So that last line of panels- we see John go from his trademark scowl to a smile in a matter of seconds and Matthias realizes that his brother is WAY happier without him around and respects William's barely concealed "f*** off".
Which isn't to say that he gave up on John, but he decided to let the dust settle, in a matter of speaking.

So the remaining question is; What about his relationship with Micah? (soon) and How did they get past all of this? (later)

Lots of text and sad feels... ;;w;;
I'm going to be doing lots of sketch dumps with them now and then... Then I'll throw out an actual page for dealing with Micah and possibly a present day comic and then... ... Then I'm going to show what happened. OTL

Poor Matthias. Poor John. 
I love Matthias with short hair, damn.
