45: Son of Snow - December 29, 2023 (F)
Panel 1
[Pilcrow and the Asterism are standing outside the Black Manor in the snow in their bird-headed forms of a crow and three-eyed flamingo. Pilcrow is wearing a red flannel and jeans. The Asterism is wearing a sleeveless puffy jacket over a gray sweater and matching beanie. Between them is a three-eyed snowman.]
Pilcrow: "With this incantation, we will bring to life a snowman of unparalleled sagacity."
The Asterism: "From simple snow, we summon a spirit of sublime contemplation."
Panel 2
[The scene transitions to a pink pyramid above a snowy plain. Pilcrow hovers in an ophanim-like ball of black feathers, and the Asterism's three eyes massively sit over the horizon.]
Both: "Eth Rekkin Myalorth Y'gha Maon Tu."
[The snowman screams to life.]
Snowman: "Ngyaaaaaargh!"
Panel 3
[The scene returns to outside the Black Manor. the snowman is alive, and seems upset.]
Snowman: "Mother, do I exist for joy, or does joy exist because of me?"
Snowman: "Father, am I but a transient being, destined to melt away with the season?"
Panel 4
[The snowman cries.]
Pilcrow: "Oh no."
The Asterism: "We sought perfection in form, but instead, we've sculpted a philosopher of existential crises."
