4 Panels. Most of the page is comprised of the first and last panels which are actually the same.
Panel 1, 2, 3: The rain calms down and the clouds disperse in the background. The ruins of the houses are covered in plants, and drops of water fall on the leaves. When Miguel thinks words at Angela, part of them use her font and her distinct color, as he returns them verbatim. He finishes buttoning her shirt and she smiles upon hearing her words repeated back at her.
Foreigner: You're in pain. "I guess we're all looking for comfort".
Angela: You really are no human male, huh?
Miguel: I am neither of those things.
Angela: And you're not like anyone I know either.
Miguel: How so?
Panel 4: Angela shrugs, still blushing. Miguel is sitting in front of her as she looks to the side in slight embarassment.
Angela: This is the most vulnerable I've ever been in my life. Right now. I guess... I guess I have never been in a scenario in which this hasn't developed into making love with someone.

For anyone else who wants to remember, the quote is from Ch6p39.
CALLED IT (many people called it tho) (and explained it better but still), she’s used to giving herself as a form of payment or gratitude towards other men, my girl…
It sucks that Eurico and Estanislau kept reinforcing this pattern in her for their own benefit! 🤬
Meanwhile Miguel can’t find any explanation for his presumable part in this pattern in Mikhail’s memories or instincts, which can only be for the best! (Except that understanding it could still be helpful.)
Wait, wait, one relationship, with Euricio, admittedly a man who later tried to murder both of them, was an adoption, so I presume that was NOT ever sexual. His partner was rather into her, after all.
Yes, but Eurico still kept steering her towards docile dependency and compliance and basically handing her off to his colleague.
Poor baby 🙁 Interested to see how she develops now that this cycle has been broken for her for the first time. I wonder if changing her view of self-worth will help her with her depression?
