Commentary
Noah's "oh carp I gave the wrong impression" face.
Not that I've often made that face myself or anything.
So That's Why
And so the obvious question of "why did Raven agree to do the thing, and why did he 'retire'," is answered.
I considered holding on to this information for a later reveal, but I didn't think it was worth it to have Noah not know, or withhold, the answer. It would be really weird if he didn't know, and it would also be really weird if he didn't tell Diane.
Black and White
I wanted to do something to make the last panel stand out, so I went 100% Black and White with it. I made dot and line fill patterns to make the effect. It wasn't that difficult once I sorted out how to make the dot patterns (literally just have a black circle in the middle of a white square, make the circle bigger or smaller for darker or lighter), but it did require experimentation and fine-tuning.
