Designed to learn naturally with no apparent end application, they navigate the ups, downs and questions of life like the adventure it truly is!

6 Panels.

Maurício (unseen): Me and my brother-in-law, Manel here, have been workingon the debris we found in Arouca a couple years ago for a while now. We were just in Tondela for a visit when they asked us to talk about the thingy at the University.

Panel 2,3:
Filipa is driving the tractor, while Manel and Maurício are sitting beside her. Manel is reading a newspaper. Maurício leans closer to Filipa.

Maurício: You were there too, I'm surprised you weren't invited.
Filipa: Oh, I've been more on the frontlines lately. I'm only in town to check on my parents this week, I'm already leaving.
Manel: How's the family?
Filipa: They're all right. I mean... My sister's not home and my parents apparently refuse to talk about it... I kinda wonder if something happened while I was away.

Panel 4:
Maurício suddenly sends her a cold stare, his face partially shadowed.

Maurício: Something like what?

Panel 5,6:
Filipa shuts up and looks back to the road.

Filipa: Never mind...
