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".

Happy 2025, I started playing Balatro and I think I may die from card game excesses. Could this be 2025’s Sudoku? Let’s find out. I mean, at least I could buy Sudokis at the papershop next village.

5 Panels.

Panel 1: Angela and Miguel stand in the middle of a road, looking at the houses. It's very windy, dark and cloudy. There are graffiti on some of the houses indicating the presence of Meditans, and burnt spots where their microwave guns hit the buildings.

Filipa (off panel): Tell me, Angela. You know the PDL's methods. Can they...

Panel 2: Top view from the same road. Filipa stands slightly ahead of Miguel and Angela, holding her rifle. Filipa doesn't look at Angela as she addresses her:

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.

5 Panels.

Panel 1: Filipa points a jokingly accusatory finger at Angela while Miguel is curious about his environment in the foreground.

Angela (cont): Right now I'm more concerned about not having my medication.
Filipa: You gonna die on me without it or something?
Angela: You don't JUST STOP taking antidepressants, so, who knows,

Panel 2: A gust of wind shakes Angela's hair. She's serious, but Filipa is grinning.

Angela: Maybe I will die on you a little.
Filipa: Oh, so you AREN'T depressed right now?

Panel 3: Filipa laughs and holds Angela's shoulders. Her glasses get out of place.

Angela: I...

Panel 4, 5: Angela continues her explanation over an illustration of a human body (with bones!).

Angela: But yeah, huh... You can change a person's behaviour, but... Behaviour is a very deep seated thing. Changing it is a very painstaking task, not something you do overnight.

6 Panels:

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: Theoretically? Like I said, behaviours are complex... Modified behaviour is, by definition, less than the original one. There's always something that is lost forever.


Panel 3: Filipa looking away. We don't see her face. The wind gusts her hair, which is tied into a ponytail.

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.
Angela: You just said this area had been emptied!
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!!!!
