It’s 4:30 on Friday, but I did it! Two pages before the end of the week!

Image description:
A three-panel, black-and-white comic page.
Panel 1: Tomoya holds the scroll to his chest with his right hand, gripping it perhaps more tightly than necessary. His head is lowered, his eyes closed.
Caption: “You will board a ship and fly north.”
Panel 2: Tomoya and the masked priests ascend the stairs, back the way they came, facing away from the viewer. They each cast a long shadow that goes up the steps ahead of them. On either side, industrial tubing hangs suspended from the ceiling.
SFX (under each tube): Hummmmm
Panel 3: Tomoya, framed by a pair of huge doors, open just wide enough to allow him through. Light comes through from behind him, leaving him in shadow, and he casts a shadow that falls forward toward the viewer. He holds his staff in one hand and tucks the other into his tunic, hiding the scroll.
Caption: “Speak to no one in the palace of your commission.”
