A complete vertical 2:3 comic-book page rendered with AstroWitchV01K2T, concluding the five-page opening sequence through four carefully staged panels. Detective Mara Vale and Theo retain the exact appearance, clothing, injuries, and proportions established on the previous pages. A new character named Selene Voss appears consistently in every panel containing her. Selene is a tall, slender woman in her early forties with very pale skin, a long elegant face, high cheekbones, narrow gray eyes, dark plum lipstick, and straight silver hair reaching the middle of her back. She wears a fitted black high-collared coat, black leather gloves, dark tailored trousers, and pointed black boots. A small silver pendant shaped like the same circular symbol on Mara’s gauntlet rests at Selene’s throat. Every speech balloon remains attached to its correct speaker through a clear uninterrupted tail. Panel one is a large horizontal splash panel covering the upper half of the page. The damaged Bleecker Street subway platform is filled with smoke, sparks, broken glass, bent train doors, frightened commuters, and emergency lights. Mara stands in the far-left third, breathing heavily after the battle. Her long dark hair is disheveled, her white blouse is torn at one shoulder, and her organic right arm remains raised defensively. Her left hand rests protectively in front of Theo, who stands slightly behind her. Theo’s gray hoodie and denim jacket are dusty, and his frightened eyes follow Mara’s gaze. Selene stands in the far-right third, completely calm amid the destruction. Her silver hair falls neatly down her back, and one gloved hand is extended toward Mara with the palm facing upward. The open center of the panel separates the two women and contains smoke, debris, and the damaged station sign. A narration box in the upper-left reads exactly: “THAT WAS WHEN THE WOMAN WITH SILVER HAIR FOUND ME.” Selene has a white speech balloon above her head. Its tail descends directly to Selene’s mouth and reads exactly: “YOU SURVIVED THE FIRST AWAKENING.” Mara has a separate white balloon beside her face with a tail pointing directly to her mouth and reading exactly: “YOU’RE THE WOMAN HE WARNED ME ABOUT.” Panel two is a medium rectangular panel beneath the left side of the splash. It shows Mara and Theo from the waist upward. Mara remains in front, her body angled protectively between Theo and Selene. Her armored fist is clenched at chest level, and her green eyes narrow toward Selene. Theo stands behind Mara’s human left shoulder, gripping her jacket sleeve with one hand. His expression is confused and frightened. Mara has a white speech balloon above her with a tail ending at her mouth and reading exactly: “WHO ARE YOU?” Theo has a smaller separate balloon behind her shoulder. Its tail points to Theo’s mouth and reads exactly: “MARA, MAYBE WE SHOULD LEAVE.” Panel three is a medium panel beneath the right side of the splash. It shows Selene from the chest upward. She stands against smoke and flickering emergency lights, but her posture remains perfectly relaxed. Her silver pendant catches a narrow red reflection from Mara’s gauntlet. She touches the pendant with the fingers of her right gloved hand while looking directly at Mara. A white speech balloon above Selene has a tail ending beside her dark plum lips and reads exactly: “MY NAME IS SELENE VOSS.” A second balloon beneath it has a separate tail also pointing to Selene’s mouth and reads exactly: “I TRAINED THE BEARER WHO CAME BEFORE YOU.” A third smaller balloon near the bottom of the panel, again attached clearly to Selene, reads exactly: “AND I KNOW WHY SHE DIED.” Panel four spans the full width along the bottom. Mara is shown in a tight close-up on the left, while Selene is shown in profile on the right, leaving a narrow strip of smoky station space between them. Mara’s face has rain, soot, and a small cut across one cheek. Her fear has shifted into determination. Her armored shoulder and glowing red wrist gemstone remain visible at the lower edge. Selene watches her calmly, her silver hair illuminated by a cool overhead light. Mara has a white speech balloon beside her mouth with a tail pointing directly to her lips and reading exactly: “THEN START TALKING.” Selene has a separate balloon near her profile, with a tail pointing directly to her mouth and reading exactly: “NOT HERE. THEY WILL SEND MORE.” A black rectangular caption box centered along the bottom border reads exactly: “TO BE CONTINUED…” A smaller line directly beneath it reads exactly: “NEXT: THE HISTORY OF THE BLADE.”
