I take this part as an opportunity to delve deeper into Ish's past, I wasn't happy with how the intro of the manga was, but I've grown to be a better manga artist. I think Ish getting into a dream of seeing and longing her old self is a great exposition of her character.
I am glad that I made Ish's preferred weapon to be an axe. It matches her savage and brutish characteristics. A sword? A bit too noble for a Goblin King.
