Aaaaah, I really love this. What a shame for that zine, they lost out on this gem. (but I not so secretly am happy that we get to read it :D) I'm really glad you shared these with us. :D
I love how your Norway plays off Sweden here <33 great use of a really restricted 3POV too. Sweden gives me the impression that he sees a lot, lets his heart and his feelings get away with him, but shows none of that on his face, and this illustrates that SO WELL. He's this big, shy, bear of a man who probably is aware that he comes off kinda scary but still doesn't really fully appreciate it. And Norway is so hard to read (which definitely seems like a purposeful thing) so Sweden's justified in freaking out a little over it!
In Norway's neat, tight handwriting were the words: I wish you a safe return. oh!! My heart leapt like I'm sure Sweden's did. Excellent pacing on that!
