A Point of Contention
Oh these two. They got me. I hope they're endgame.
In fact, I really think they will be. I think one of the lessons in the show will be the concept of healing; which includes moving on, realizing that reviving dead people at the expense of others is a terrible idea (especially for kids watching the show that have a deceased loved one), as well as appreciating those that love you through it all (in this case, just the one), and finally-- Gabriel specifically getting a healthy dose of comeuppance for being so stupid.
I've recently changed my mind about Nathalie. I think that her last name is meant to be ironic, and that she's actually one of the most caring, fiercely loyal people in the entire show, but enforces a tragically warped slant on it that also has to go through a healing process.
So like---they're meant for each other rofl.
At her worst, I see Nathalie doing equally stupid, desperate things for Gabriel, but never outright betraying him. That's Lila territory.
Anyway uhhh...expect a lot more of these two. I got it bad.

I'm going to add a few more touch ups and make a decently sized print available. That's all getting worked out and should be situated by next weekend. I'll post an update here and on my tumblr. : D
