"For what it's worth: it's never too late to be whoever you want to be. I hope you live a life you're proud of, and if you find that you are not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again."
- F. Scott Fitzgerald

This drawing is based off a particular panel in Chapter 86, Page 18 of 'Pandora Hearts', created and drawn by Jun Mochizuki. The speech bubble was directly taken from the manga, which was translated by the group of fan-subbers 'Fallen Syndicate ' to: "You should embrace your mission and hold on to your life."

(For those who are interested in the roomaji: "sore ni suritsuiteitetemo ii kara ikiteminasai")

For some reason, this panel in the manga stood out to me. But for the sake of not spoiling it for others, all I shall say here is that it takes a lot of courage to get up and start over when you've figuratively taken a hard knock.

Shelly is both literally and metaphorically touching Break's heart. In this particular shot she's holding Break's hands - a universal sign of endearment and evidence of sincerity in her words. With Break allowing her to touch and assuage him, it's proof that he's rediscovered his ability to trust in others and himself - something he's lost ever since his journey into the Abyss. With this in mind, the manga panel illustrates the turning point in which Break has come to fully accept the wrongdoings of the past and finally regain his resolve.
