↓ Transcript
7 Panels.
Panel 1:
We see the microwave gun and its charger laying on the floor. The charger still has "RRCC" written on it, and it's dirty with blood.
Ângela (off panel): Are you this... Quirshofe person?
Foreigner (off panel): Kirchhoff.
Panel 2:
The Foreigner looks away, his face unknown.
Panel 3:
The Foreigner looks back at Ângela.
Foreigner: No. I know of him.
Foreigner (thinking at Ângela): I have his memories.
Panel 4:
The Foreigner bends down to tie the leg warmers. Ângela leans in his direction.
Ângela (thinking): But his memories are not yours?
Foreigner: Organic carcasses are complicated. It's not unusual for them to come with their own memories and languages.
Panel 5,6:
The Foreigner's wet hair covers his eyes. He tries to blow it away from his face.
Panel 7:
Ângela moves the Foreigner's hair away from his eyes, while he's still bending over his knee.
Ângela: Such as spanish. Your portuguese is improving really fast, though!
Foreigner: I adjust.
Foreigner (thinking): Your patterns shift with discomfort otherwise.

I went straight past the explanation and went straight for the HAIR FLIP ACTION AW YEAH THERE HE GOES WITH THE FRINGE AGAIN YEAH i knew it was comign but finally now everyone else can see it again
Organic carcasses. I wonder how does it/he perceive death of the patterns.
Yeah, but this also suggests prior experience…! ?
This is the beginning of the end of the story. In a couple of weeks, the authorities will find the two of them lying there, dead, with their fingers hopelessly entangled in the bootlaces.
