4-28: The smart choice
Gabry doesn’t really know how to comfort someone without touching them, and just gets super awkward instead.
This Is The Worst Idea You've Ever Had
but this is a good plan….

“oh right, if i touch them they melt- shit, now what?”
that’s a damn reasonable awkwardness.
Are the spelling mistakes on purpose? I looked back and checked if there was a pattern. But she sometimes says “lost”, then “losed”, then she fails at simple past, but knows conditional phrases?
“fighted” instead of “fought”?
It’s so random and without a recognizable pattern that I’m not sure if she’s meant to be randomly bad with her English or if the text is rushed?
The grammar mistakes are based on Nai\’kish grammar. I\’m not actually an idiot that can\’t spell simple words like \”lost\”.
As someone who doesn’t speak English as my first language, I can confirm that grammar errors VERY rarely are consistent when you’re talking a foreign language. Looking back at my own posts here and there on the internet over the last decade or so, the only thing I’ve been able to discern is
a) Practice makes better
b) Practice don’t mean shit if you’re tired/stressed/distracted. During those situations there will be a significant drop in grammar.
So, “randomly bad” is actually a super real depiction of how real life bilingual issues work.
Fifth panel is awesome. :3
