O Sarilho

4 Panels.

Panel 1: Eurico sits next to the hurt person, who flinches. The rain feels slightly heavier.

Eurico: Thank you so much for informing us of this tragic situation, mister Afonso Peralta.
Afonso: Please... Med- Just t-take me to a medic.
Eurico: We have two questions for you first.

Panel 2: Eurico puts a hand over Afons's shoulders, and looms close to his disfigured face.

Eurico: Why would you betray your country and give information to the enemy?

Panel 3: Close up of Afonso's face as he struggles to find an answer. He has no eyes.

Afonso: I was... I was t-t-t-t-t-tor- TORTURED.
Eurico (off panel): Come on, Afonso. WE both know that is not true.

Panel 4: Estanislau is holding a gun and a few bullets, looking away and finally joining the conversation. Behind him, Eurico is still sitting awfully close to Afonso, who cowers very small.

Estanislau: Your brothers and sisters over there died protecting this country. Are you somehow better than them? More deserving of life?

4 Panels.

Panel 1, 2: Estanislau touches the puddle of blood left on the floor by Afonso's corpse, and uses it to draw a cross across the deceased's forehead.

Panel 3: Close up of the corpse's hand as it seems to twitch slightly.

Estanislau: Can you make it useful?
Eurico (off panel): With no processing? Let's see.

Panel 4: Estanislau is kneeling next to the corpse, supervised by a distant Eurico. The corpse starts moving.

Panel 5: As the corpse opens its mouth trying to get up, Estanislau comments.

Estanislau: Alright bro, you still got it.

2 Panels.

Panel 1: shot from inside the burnt church. It is destroyed and burnt on the inside as well, with stones and broken statues laying around. The walls have been painted with meditan symbols. Manel is standing in the middle, hands on his hips, smoking and examining as Eurico enters.

Panel 2: Manel exhales cigar smoke. He doesn't seem surprised but neither does he seem perturbed. Eurico approaches. Behind them, the place where the church's altar used to be reveals an even more destroyed portion of the church, and the sky is visible.

Eurico: Contemplative?

5 Panels.

Panel 1: Eurico stares at Manel. His face is completely covered by the mask and we can't even see his eyes.

Eurico: God conquered Rome once already. We must have faith the same will happen again this time around too.

Panel 2: One of Eurico's eyes, behind the mask, as he stares at Manel.

Eurico: Why are you here again?

Panel 3,4: View from the top of the church as the two of them stand in the middle. Manel throws the cigar butt to the ground before walking away.

Manel: I work on the remains of the Atégina Mission. YOU invited me.

Panel 5: Eurico, alone in the middle of the church and surrounded by the destruction, his face covered and expression a mystery.
