30: Flutter Effect - November 24, 2023 (F)
Panel 1
[Pilcrow and the Asterism are standing in a hallway in the Black Manor in their bird-headed humanoid forms of a crow and three-eyed flamingo. Pilcrow is dressed in his lavender suit and holding a ping-pong paddle that he's trying to swat an annoying fly with. The Asterism watches on, wearing neon teal slacks and a button-up white shirt.]
Pilcrow: "I swear this fly has been reincarnated just to torment me."
Panel 2
The Asterism: "Have you ever examined the butterfly effect? A butterfly’s wings may mysteriously manifest a typhoon halfway across the world. This fly could cause the collapse of the cosmos."
Panel 3
Pilcrow: "One swat to alter the course of history? Seems dramatic."
The Asterism: "In the grand tapestry, even a fly’s fate is a thread intertwined with infinity."
Panel 4
[Pilcrow lowers the swatter.]
Pilcrow: "Guess we'll never know. I'm not ready to be the villain in this universe's story."
The Asterism: "Or perhaps, in sparing the fly, you've already rewritten the stars."
