Panel 1:
Eurico looks back.

Panel 2:
From Eurico's point of view, we see a Lusitanian warrior student, holding a shotgun next to a tree. Behind him, the white university building and the clock tower.

Panel 3:
Eurico addresses a Professor, who has long black robes with red highlights and a hat with a single red feather. The man is old and he's smoking through a big pipe. They shake hands.

Eurico: Good morning, Professor.
Professor: Always on time. How's the wife?

Panel 4:
A view of the hill, with the university on top. Around it, several walls and houses and woods, and the river, with seagulls, boats and sunken buildings. The sky is a little cloudy, as if it had just stopped raining and the sunrays peering in.

Eurico (off panel): Spoiling the newborn. We haven't been getting much sleep lately.
Professor (off panel): Ah. You're a blessed man, Eurico. Children are a rare sight these days. How long have you been an inspector for the PDL, young man?
Eurico (off panel): It'l be eight years next September, sir.
Professor (off panel): Has it really been that long? Time sure flies... Let's get to the point. I called you here because we need to discuss something on the ATÉGINA MISSION, two years ago.

Panel 5:

Professor: What can you tell me of the meditas you fought against that night?

Panel 1:
Eurico leans against the metal edge of the plaza.

Eurico: I arrived late to the scene, where I detected six meditans, including their Captain. Retreating, but put up a fight.
Professor: That Captain, anyone we know?
Eurico: No, a slave.

Panel 2:
The professor adjusts his pipe.

Professor: So now they're making slaves into officials... Interesting.

Panel 3:
Eurico looks up. The sun flares.

Professor (off panel): What about survivors?
Eurico: Four escaped me. I can't vouch for my colleagues. I believe I have said everything there was to it in my report, Professor.

Panel 4:
The Professor looks at Eurico, pipe in his mouth. His rigth eye is made of glass, and white.

Professor: Would you recognize any of them?

Panel 5:
The two of them stare at each other as a cloud casts a shadow over them.

Panel 6:
Eurico, overshadowed.

Eurico: I never forget a soul.

I spent far much more hours in this page than its contents warrant, but look: it’s got a bunch of tiles and the door is very cute and I’m very happy because I don’t get to make stained glass doors and tiles everyday. Just let me have this.
