Panel 18: Tilda on their hands and knees in the crosswalk, looking to contain the vomit. Panel 19: Tilda, unable to hold it back, experiences a massive guttural release. The victim is back on their feet but disoriented in the middle of the street. Panel 20: Tilda’s victim is now left in a zombie-like state, “ug uh uh ugh ngh”.

Panel 23: The victim walks haplessly into oncoming traffic. Panel 24: The car is unable to stop in time hitting her with a massive impact, “Brakk!” Panel 25: Tilda regains some control but remains hunched over looking at the victim crushed into the hood of the car. Panel 26: Tilda flees the scene as smoke billows from the destroyed car and a shocked driver looks at the victim and the damage. Panel 27: Tilda flees down a narrow alley between houses. Panel 28: Running as fast as they are able. “Huff, huff.” Panel 29: The exertion is taking a toll on Tilda and they quickly lose energy as they struggle through the alley.

Panel 32: The driver of the car says to them, “Tilda Roberts…funny.” Panel 33: We see both occupants from the front and a police badge hanging from the rearview mirror. The person in the passenger seat says, “We were just on our way to come talk to you.” Panel 34: The driver opens the back door and we see Tilda weighing their options as the driver says, “Get in.” To Be Cont.
