CH 1 PAGE 03
4 panels. 1+3 are stacked to the left with 2 against both of them to the right, panels are constructed to maintain a line of motion leading us left-to-right through panel 1, down panel 2, and back to the left for panel 3 to mimic her movement through the twisting staircase. Panel 4 is a wide panel on its own tier.
Tier 1: panels 1+3 stacked, panel 2
Tier 2: panel 4
1-03.1 Jane is continuing to look at her phone as she enters the enclosed stairwell at the end of the breezeway. One hand is up rubbing her eye, her elbow breaking through into the gutter a bit to lead us into panel 2.
JANE: Ugh.
1-03.2 Jane is descending the stairs, still on her phone like a damn millennial. The colors shift darker as she's now out of the sunlight.
JANE: I probably should've made coffee...
1-03.3 Panel is stacked on the left side under panel 1, and Jane is turning up the volume on her phone. It's a tight focus in on just Jane's hand and wrist and phone with the background dropped out as 🔊➕➕➕ symbols appear over top, alongside the title DAMAGE DONE - VERUCA SALT. Jane's arms butt right up against panel 2 with no gutter to guide us into the panel.
1-03.4 Jane is about to step down onto the landing halfway down before the stairs turn. She's putting her phone back in her pocket on the left side of the panel. On the right we see a small sliver of a green glowing body. Fairly close shot with a big wide panel that takes up the bottom of the page. The panel borders become wobbly and water-like.
JANE: Oh well.
