PANEL 1: Eddie jumps back into the conversation, grabbing Nathan's shoulders with a smug smile on his face. EDDIE: We’re takin’ care of one little thing, then ole man Vargas over here is goin’ riiight back into retirement. Nathan doesn't seem to mind the contact, he's more annoyed with Eddie's words. NATHAN: I’m two years younger than you! PANEL 2: Eddie proudly puts a hand to his chest, the two leaning closer together. EDDIE: Hey, I’m grayin'at thirty-seven, I own it. PANEL 3: Nathan and Eddie press their foreheads together. Eddie looks at Nathan smugly, Nathan grits his teeth. NATHAN: You’re gonna be thirty-seven feet under if you don’t-- PANELS 4-6: The panel splits in half to separate Eddie and Nathan with Mai. Eddie's on the left and smirking, Mai's in the center, and Nathan's on the right and blushing. Mai looks uncomfortable. MAI: GUYS? Am I interrupting something??? PANEL 7: Nathan pushes Eddie away, covering his own face with his free hand. NATHAN: Right-- Just. Have you noticed anything weird around the city lately? EDDIE: Or anyone suspicious, especially if they have a purple light on ‘em? PANEL 8: Mai looks uncertain. MAI: That’s...weirdly specific. No, nothing like that. But... PANEL 9: Mai's back faces the camera. She's surrounded by red that grows darker around her. Wavy white lines around her head indicate a sensor of some sort. MAI: Things have felt really...off for a long time.
