1: Melissa sits down, staring forward, eyes wide and fearful. She’s seen behind glass in a sterile room – like a very clean version of a prison phone booth.
2: She nervously presses the button on a metal console in front of her, an intercom. Her eyes are still fixed forward.
Melissa: …Hi.
3: Melissa forces a smile but she’s looking away now.
Melissa: They, um… they said that if I came to talk to you some, it might… help.
Not really sure what they want me to talk about.
4: In her lap she holds one of the greetings cards from her house, which reads “To our lovely Daughter”.
Melissa: I’ve been seeing your family some. Everyone’s really worried, they miss you.
5: Her head is turned, but she’s doing her best to still look forward.
Melissa: I miss you.
I don’t know what’s going to happen, or what they’re going to—
6: She jumps back, startled. A black, mutated hand slaps against the glass with sudden force, Julia’s black fur mixed with a tentacle-like digit.
Nnnooooooo why do you have and it there
Well, we’re about to find out what state Julia is in.
Oof… this is gonna be… interesting.
That last panel made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Poor Melissa! Oh, Julia! T_T
How she didn’t know what Julia looks like now?
She probably did, but she’s obviously already on-edge, and someone looking like Julia suddenly thumping their hand/tentacle on the glass is going to spook you.
I’m not sure what’s happening in the last panel.
I’m guessing that- Mel is talking to Julia [through an unbreakable, plastic-like window].
I’m also thinking that Julia, maybe touched by Mel’s words, wanted to show that she cares about Mel…by putting her hand on the window, but…Julia doesn’t realize that showing her Freddy Kruger-like hand to people, might be a spooky movement to some people.
Hm.
Julia can’t see how she looks like, we saw it on the last comic of previous issue. I assume she can’t see TOWC at all.
Oh, someone already said that. I should’ve scroll down before typing anything. Sorry.
What does TOWC stand for?
I think it’s one of the monsters that the heroes are chasing.
That name is on the cover page, on some of the chapters, in the archive:
TOWC, aka The One Who Crawls.
That idea seemed shorter, before I wrote it down. *shrugs*
I think we get what you mean. Julia doesn’t outwardly realize what she looks like, and she may be in a situation where everything she -things- she is saying and doing is not actually what she is saying and doing.
Thanks! 🙂
