4: Lost and Found - September 25, 2023 (M)
Panel 1:
[Pilcrow ponders while in the form of a universe of feathers, from which red and gray eyes stare.]
Pilcrow: "In a realm where presence and absence coalesce, what does it truly mean to 'misplace' something?"
Panel 2:
[The Asterism is a sphere of pink light emanating like a supernova from three pink stars with great black eyes.]
The Asterism: "Ah, Pilcrow, grappling with the temporal, I see. To 'lose' is a concept tethered to linear time. Here, all is and isn't simultaneously."
Panel 3:
[The two are now in their anthropomorphic bird forms in the Black Manor, in what looks like an entryway. Pilcrow, a crow in a mustard-colored suit with a red tie, looks irritated. The Asterism looks like a flamingo with three eyes in a gray dress.]
Pilcrow: "Very philosophical, but I still can't find the blasted keys for the car."
Panel 4:
The Asterism: "Perhaps you've been looking in the wrong dimension."
[The Asterism holds out the keys.]
Pilcrow: "Of course. Should've checked the fourth one first."
