I love that Patience is like the 1 person Vee could give Lei this pep talk in front of who is able to give exactly the necessary response
"Haha, WHAT? Nice!"
also POWERFUL IMPORTANT GOOD PAGE WE LOVE TO SEE IT
Wow, yay! Indeed, go Lei go!
EXCELLENT use of certainty, Vee!
Patience has enjoyed her life and has no regrets.
Yesss! Good work, Vee!
This reminds me a bit of [the page in Curtain Call](https://www.widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/october-13th-2017 "https://www.widdershinscomic.com/wdshn/october-13th-2017") where Vee talks Ben out of his Sloth-induced spiral. Apparently this particular kind of pep talk is something she's very good at!
she's got so much practice at hyping herself up it's easy to turn on other people when she needs to
Verity is a much better people person than she lets on.
(She has a reputation to keep us, after all.)
Verity has too much pride to keep it all to herself, so she's proud of the people close to her too.
Meanwhile, they are stuck in there for good, and they just decided to sit down side by side and get comfotable...
Oh, wow. Six years ago, to the day:

AJ • 6 years ago
I was okay, really, I was, and then I started reading Verity's lines in Ms. Frizzle's voice...
How can that be 6 years ago?
It's called ENTROPY. Also, the 1990s aren't ten years ago.
Are you sure? It's really wierd being the same age as old people.
You too, huh? I'd personally like to know precisely when Terry Pratchett's line "Inside every old person, is a young person wondering what happened" stopped being quite so funny, myself.
PTerry nailed so many things perfectly...
she sounds like jessie team rocket to me :)
OH GOD WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME
I wasn't the first person to say that, though. You'll have to dive deeper to find the person who suggested it to me.
This nearly made me tear up. I am weak.
Just shoveling certainty into that engine, I see.
The most important leadership skill is the ability to motivate your minions.
"now let us flirt in peace"
And here I thought there was no one going to point out that there are two people who find each other attractive in a locked small space with nothing to do.
Verity is finally stepping up as a mentor. Lei just had to let her know in no uncertain terms what she needed from her, and why.
Verity: Listen, Lei Feng. Don't believe in yourself. Believe in me! Believe in the Verity that believes in you!
Sometimes believing in what others see in you can be enough for a start.
V has enough Certainty for EVERYONE
Yeah that's my pep talk style too Patience.
"You can't do it? Welp, we're boned. Seems like teach will have Fs for everyone, good try team."
This is like if Oscar Wilde did action -adventure.
if Verity and Patience are not furiously making out by the time we come back to the pod, I'll be disappointed.
The moment when you, still clinging to some railing because the ship's rocking like crazy, realize that the magical storm has subsided half an hour ago.
Lei's theme is slowly swelling until it's the entire audio track... :D
Lei is filled with DETERMINATION.
Unfortunately, the engine runs on CERTAINTY.
Verity's a manipulative ...witch ... isn't she?
Verity's certainty seems all that's necessary for a positive outcome here.
Patience has the best reaction to that revelation, I love her.
So, if I'm following this conversation correctly, Lei is going to save the ship by blowing up the ocean anchor and blasting the ship back to England?
Fierce Lei in the last panel is SO GOOD ❤️
