Sometimes all you need is an alien to tell you you’re valid
Alas, look at this tile panel that I really really wanted to have behind the fountain:
Panel 1:
A close up of the water faucet. A lizard has crawled to the top of the rock it hangs from.
Ângela (off panel, cont): For once in my life, I wanted to be strong enough to do the right thing.
Panel 2,3:
Ângela is leaning over the fountain, with her face between her arms. The Foreigner's black hand reaches for her. She is surprised when his hand lays on her head.
Foreinger: I see you, Ângela.
Panel 4:
Ângela, with tears in her eyes, looks surprised at the Foreigner. His hand rests on her face.
Panel 5:
She holds his black hand between her two hands.
Ângela: Tell me I did the right thing. Tell me you were worth betraying everyone who ever loved me.
Panel 6:
Foreigner: Was showing me kindness not the right thing?
Ângela: was it?
Foreigner: I much prefer not being in pain.
