Illustration.
Angela covers most of her face, but stares directly at the viewer with one eye. Her hair floats and she's surrounded by decaying flowers and flies. There's the vague idea of a brain pattern shattering behind her. Dark, confusing, and full of texture.

It's rainy. The clouds cover the sky over the destructed areas. The tractor advances through a partially destroyed city as Angela gazes out of the window, concerned. A graffiti on a wall reads "MAI AITERNA".

Filipa: Can they, huh... - silence - Turn you into a different person?

Panel 3: Angela looks up, pensive.

Angela: It is possible to change someone's behaviour, but...

Panel 4: Filipa finally looks at her, the wind blowing her hair and almost covering her face.

Filipa: How do you know you were not changed? You're still having those aftershocks.

Panel 5: A serious Angela vividly remembers Eurico's mental strike on her.

Angela: He pierced me, Filipa. He wasn't trying to change me, he was trying to kill me.

Panel 1, 2: Angela continues the explanation from the previous page. The background has a figure of Angela's reminescent of the pictures she saw when she was pierced by Eurico and a diagram with a human skull and a superimposed brain pattern.

Filipa (off panel): Can it be reversed?

Angela (off panel): They're still your parents.


Panel 4: Filipa, holding her rifle, scouting her surroundings attentive. Angela, slightly annoyed in the back.

Filipa: Keep your mind hears sharp, Angela. 'Case there's brain activity around.

Filipa: Yeah, yeah, never too careful.


Panel 5: The girls stop in front of a house. Filipa points at the door.

Filipa: Anyone here?
Angela: Not that I can tell. But like I said, I'm-

Panel 6: Filipa doesn't wait for the rest of the warning, she kicks the front door down with a BOOM while exclaiming excitedly. Much to Angela's surprised distress.

Filipa: No need to make ourselves obvious targets, then! Let's GOOOOOOO!!!!
