SPOILER for 'Sacrifice'

APOLOGY: For all that haven't read the book yet, I sincerely apologize for the spoiler here--and hope that it doesn't detract too much from your future reading experience...

This image was one of those that wouldn't get out of my head until I drew it. It's not a very clean drawing, and was done pretty quickly, so isn't as crisp or detailed as my usual work, and there are plenty of problems with the figures (sigh)--but the muse has quieted since I got it done, so I decided to go ahead and post it...

This is a scene that anyone who's read the novel will recognize--I won't post the narrative, as I can't black it out--but it's Ben...with his mom...
