Panel 1

[Pilcrow and the Asterism are standing in the laundry room of the Black Manor in their bird-headed humanoid forms of a crow and three-eyed flamingo. Pilcrow is wearing a light blue button-up shirt and mustard-colored slacks. The Asterism is wearing a white button-up shirt and khakis.]

Panel 4
