I can see now why Kevin is doing so poorly in the actual comics. He's a character who works best when you're viewing things from his perspective, seeing the way looks filtered through the sieve of his bitter and unforgiving mind. Because he really doesn't forgive - not himself, not Dani, not anyone.
I'd really like to know how Kevin came to be living in this junkyard - is this the aftereffect of what happened in the comics, or of some other incident? I liked the way you emphasized Kevin as an artist, and more specifically as a sculptor; it makes an ironic kind of sense to make the boy who can't touch love making things with his hands.
