RANKLESS page #125
🕑 Added 2025-02-22 16:17:08 +0000 UTCI know Apple is the main character, but boy I could write a whole story from Orchard’s perspective after the trauma she’s endured. Despite the people who betray her, she STILL chooses to trust her daughter. As much as she’s able to, anyway. 💔

Hmm, on the previous page Orchard said she she’s going to hear her daughter out… and then here she walks away from her without doing so any further? May be overthinking, but I’d think getting more details while still fresh in her mind would be useful here (what exactly she saw, where, when during her watch, etc…)?

What if Merrikh found out he has a daughter and wants her to raise in ranks? He could be gradually sneaking in (or someone he works with) to off higher ranks so his daughter gets to the top. Or at least rank 2. Either that or someone is trying to sabotage Apple. Nothing has happened until Apple joined the ranks. They would be suspicious that bad things are now starting to happen.

Knogle immediately planting suspicion onto Apple despite BARELY beating Comet while having suffered great injuries- is extremely strange. How could someone like Apple, someone who’d JUST gotten their rank, is injured, inexperienced AND has shown no reason to commit such deeds, even come close to harming someone like Salem? I understand Knoggle is also traumatized by Merrikh, so it’s reasonable to be paranoid.. but I can’t help but have this teeny, tiny feeling that there’s more to Knoggle than what we’ve been shown so far.

She’s got some explaining to do 🫢

Yessss they would. I’d be HIGHLY suspicious if I were them…👀

What I’m wondering is why no one is questioning Apple about seeing a Rankless and not reporting it. We know she dismissed it as her imagination and fell asleep. But the other dragons don’t know that. Wouldn’t they wanna know why she didn’t report it to Salem or another leader?

Knogle needs a snickers bar and Orchard needs a psychiatrist.

You can really feel the hurt Orchard is experiencing from all her expressions on this page. Poor girl.

Orchard looks like she needs a hug. I send her all of the hugs

Poor Orchard, that look on her face in the last panel just says everything about how she feels 😞

There is no chance that you will lose a dragon because you have the courage to stand by your values. Quite the opposite. In fact, it's the only way... to find out who really belongs by your side.
