Our view draws back to put the previous image into a context of its own; the view we have been seeing is actually located in a landscape. We can still see the path we looked at previously.

The nighttime scene is intentionally stylised to create a sense of limitation, of graphic limitation within the scene. I might have achieved a more atmospheric or characterful feeling with more expressive means (like I did in books like Tiercel for example), but here I wanted instead to create a sense of contrast with some of the other material I would introduce as the book continued. Whether this was worth it or not I'm still unsure. I think that I could have made these scenes more expressive in a graphic, limited way, and kept the sense of controlled simplicity too, but these pages don't really exhaust that possibility.
