"Issue #24: Lost in a Haze"
Oh! What's that? Another POV? Yes, it's true! Rainhaze gets his turn in the narration. It was a lot of fun to explore his mind, though it's easy to over-write. Rainhaze is very rambly.
I also hope you enjoy getting a peek into Defiance's inner workings. I will elaborate a bit more on the branch system and hierarchy in some bonus posts eventually, but there's nothing outside the comic that's required for understanding it simply by reading the issues.
Since Rainhaze jumps around in time a lot via his scattered mental state, for ease of reading I'll just state that pages 5 & 6 take place directly after the end of Issue 24, i.e. when Rainhaze killed the fox and Ranger confronted him.

merry christmas, happy holidays. transfemme and transmasc solidarity always
[start id: two empty hormone vials are side-by-side. estrogen is on the left, and testosterone on the right. they have been repurposed as flower vases containing poinsettias. /end id]
i don’t have much to say here. i actually really hate christmas lol. did you know the poinsettia has indigenous origins? it was taken and appropriated by the first us minister in mexico, who took the cuetlaxochitl name and bastardized it to be named after himself. fitting.
in the Aztec language Nahuatl, the name translates to the "mortal flower that perishes and withers like all that is pure." - i find that more powerful than christmas

I like to imagine that one of the most jarring things for Rainhaze when he joined Defiance, aside from the whole murdering animals frequently thing, was just having to learn several swear words because nobody used them back at home
Rainhaze: Ranger, what does "fuck off" mean?
Ranger: it means you really respect someone. go tell that to Poinsettia. completely unrelated but I have to leave now
