Top panel
About to walk into a food place called Imperials — reference: take-away storefront, cream building with a green awning lettered "BREAKFAST · LUNCH · SNACKS" in yellow block letters, ornate yellow sign reading "IMPERIALS" in red script under a crown icon with "TAKE-AWAY" below it, rooftop cartoon mascot (chef figure holding up a conch), glass storefront with neon "OPEN" signs, white tile lower facade, people walking by on the sidewalk
CaptionG"Can't believe this actually happening. Gina ga kill me if this go south."

Inside a tuck shop — menu board (wings, conch burgers, etc.), two order windows, modest seating
DialogueG"Ms. Seymour you got the order right? These people going to complain if a single thing off."
DialogueMs. Seymour"Ain't you buying the food G? I sure they'll be grateful"
DialogueG"Grateful?? No ma'am"
DialogueG"I could hear it already..."
Bottom right panel
Foreshadowing flash-forward — Gina complaining that her order is wrong. This exact panel recurs as a mini inset panel on Page 7's bottom-right panel, once Gina actually arrives, showing G predicted it accurately.

DialogueG"This cutting into our livelihood, and enriching foreign investment at the cost of our environment"
DialogueG"The people getting desperate, violence on the rise and they beginning to blame us rather than rely on us."

DialogueGina"We have to act quickly G. These goody two shoes will have us marching to bring awareness before they do anything. By the time as we act it ga be too late. Let's set this operation in motion now. We'll do it with or without them!"
Bottom right panel
Leader speaking, mainly — with Gina in frame enough to react
DialogueLeader"Without us?? What's the point of this meeting if y'all ga just act how y'all feel? We'll get lumped in the same group as y'all if y'all start supering up n causing problems. You forget about Hatch?"
DialogueGina"I know you ain't just call my brother name."
DialogueG"Y'all, we had ground rules for a reason, we can't keep going ba-"G interjecting, cut off, continues on Page 9

Top right panel
Go Soldier! angrily pointing a finger at her, spit coming out his mouth

Gina snarls at him
Bottom left panel
Everyone starting to cool down — Gina begins de-transforming

DialogueLeader"Whos side you on, Villain."
Bottom right panel
Vicked calming down, getting ready to leave — the Adventurers already gone, heading out the door, with Bad Company following suit
DialogueVicked"The more things change the more they stay the same I guess. We gotta make a move soon one way or another. Later G."

Full panel
Page split in half — two different versions of G, one on each side. Left: G with a fiery heat in his eyes (fire element). Right: G with an icy cool expression and frost on his face (ice element). His mind is splitting into fire and ice as it unknowingly tries to resolve the conflict.
DialogueG"...."
DialogueG (FIRE)"I got it!"
DialogueG (ICE)"I got it."
