Chapter 23 - p.05

I feel like this is really setting up Raphael to be extremely hurt and betrayed once he discovers what Leonardo has been doing - I guess it depends on how he's framed his big brother in his mind - it's clear that he admires him, looks up to him as a leader and is willing to put his full trust into him. It is also obvious to me that his well being hinges on Leonardo being home and 'backing him up' in the way that only older siblings can to their underlings. Being one of six children, I really understand the dynamic of this. I worry for Raphael. You are doing a fantastic job laying out all these connecting threads that run through this story. You are building suspense and tension with a steady determined hand that draws me in every time. 
I adore and admire your narrative skill as well as your artistic style and vision.
