In Volume 1: The One-Eyed Artist: Operation Freshman, we lived inside Lucas' mind. Every heartbeat, every doubt, every breath of danger—we experienced it through his eyes. That intimacy wasn't just a style choice. It was necessary. The mystery of Project Aeon wasn't just about uncovering a conspiracy—it was about Lucas discovering himself.
But this story? It's bigger now. The stakes are no longer personal. They're global.
As Volume 2 begins, you'll notice a shift—from the first person to the third. This change reflects the evolution of the story's scope. Lucas is no longer alone. Hana, Uncle Lucifer, Sergeant Kane, and others have become vital voices in Lucas's life and adventures.
Thank you for growing with these characters. For believing in a boy with one eye, and the people who chose to fight beside him.
