A full comic page set inside a narrow, organic tunnel underground. In the opening panel, silhouetted figures of Ventrik and Tanya run as dialogue indicates the creature is closing the distance. The scene shifts to a closer view of the two standing together in the tunnel, with Ventrik behind Tanya as she studies a handheld tablet.

Subsequent panels show a tense, quiet exchange between them as Tanya addresses Ventrik formally, and he questions why she still calls him “Doctor.” The conversation continues in close-up shots of their faces, emphasizing proximity and unease. The page ends with both characters facing one another, Tanya visibly frustrated, as they argue about names, roles, and hierarchy while the threat remains just out of sight.
