XIII - Pages 012A & 013A (Wind Ending: Sleeping in Night's Long Arms)

Each of the endings for XIII is associated with one of the classic elements (Wind, Earth, Fire and Water), representing its theme and mood. Each one also has a name by itself, a subtitle that would go right next to the comic's complete title. As such, XIII with the Wind ending is called XIII: The Long Arms of Sleep. The endings are short in page count (Wind has 5 or 6 pages, I think. I can't remember right now, I don't have the thumbnails at hand), but as a whole, they expand the comic's total page count to more than 30.
As a whole, the endings play with the multiverse theory, by branching off in a very specific point of time. The universe in which this story takes place is, thus, very mutable, and us as observers can witness how a succession of events can end in a variety of different ways.
I already have the idea of another story set in XIII's universe. It's not a sequel, but it is set in the same universe, which means some characters may make some cameo appearances. Oh, and this sunday we're making an 8 hr comic challenge (8 pages in 8 hours), so I might finish something new and different from XIII by then. All of this also gives me a perfect chance to refine Dreamless and choose a better title for it.
Now, to talk more about what's happening in the comic lately. As you can see (And I have probably said it as well!), XIII is all about Death,
