5 Panels.

Panel 1: Steffano stands pensively by the mirror. We can see his reflection. Nikita, still peeved over last page's slap, looks away.

Steffano: It just happens that my father is not the only one with allies. And he's made a lot of enemies to boot.
Nikita: And how is that my business?

Panel 2: Steffano sits on the edge of the bed, just like Nikita. He reaches to touch his hand, with a concerned look.

Steffano: Look. I know you have complicated feelings about the outcome of that mission. You need to find your closure, I get it. And you do have the skills for it. But my dad will always be an obstacle to you. Whatever you choose to do...

Panel 3: Steffano holds Nikita's hand close to his face.

Steffano (cont): Just know that I'm with you.

Panel 4: Steffano smiles as he and Nikita look into each others eyes.

Panel 5: They burst out laughing.
