Panel 1

[Pilcrow and the Asterism are sitting on a couch in a sitting room of the Black Manor in their bird-headed humanoid forms of a crow and three-eyed flamingo. Pilcrow is wearing a relaxed blue button-up shirt. The Asterism is wearing a stylish white button-up shirt. They are both holding coffee mugs.]

The Asterism: "As we sip our coffee, do we dance as mere dramatis personae in a cosmic chronicle, or are we the sovereign scribes scripting the saga?"

Panel 2

Pilcrow: "You mean, do we truly choose, or are we merely characters in someone else's hands?"

Panel 3

[Extreme close-up of both characters looking "into the screen" intently.]

Panel 4

Pilcrow: "Yet, every choice feels like it's both ours to make and already scripted by the universe."

The Asterism: "Well, 'the universe' better script me a second cup."
