5 Panels
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?

Interesting world building tidbit about an apparently declining population…!
one would think that would make wars rarer, but recent Serbian and Russian history indicate otherwise. Look to the relative population drops of Frenchmen and Hungarians from the 1700s until recently to see how such demography can counterintuitively drive conflict … and fear for East Asia.
