Thanks for reading Hemlock! Chapter 3 was originally published online between May and September of 2011. This chapter serves as a little interlude before we get back to Lumi and her in-laws. Chapters 1 to 5 of Hemlock can be bought in print here.

I remember drawing this page very distinctly, because I went on a University trip to Beijing in the summer of 2011 and got incredibly sick for three months. I moved back in with my family for a while so they could look after me while I recovered the ability to eat anything more complicated than chicken broth and rice, and I drew this page sitting on my sister's floor.
