Panel 1

[Pilcrow and the Asterism are in their bird-headed humanoid forms of a crow and three-eyed flamingo in a bedroom of the Black Manor. Pilcrow is wearing his lavender suit over a white-button up shirt and reflective aviator sunglasses. The Asterism is in her workout clothes, a tank top and yoga pants. There is an open suitcase between them.]

Pilcrow: "We're really doing this, huh? A vacation to nowhere. How many existential crises should I bring?"

Panel 2

[The Asterism stretches her neck unnaturally to look into the suitcase.]

The Asterism: "At least a couple. I'm bringing my existential dread. It's lightweight and always fits in the overhead compartment."

Panel 3

[Pilcrow holds up a book.]

Pilcrow: "I've got this book on nihilism. Figure it could be a beach read, if there's a beach."

Panel 4

Pilcrow: "Should we pack snacks, or does the concept of hunger not exist there either?"

The Asterism: "Let's at least bring the void-proof coffee. I can't explore nothingness without caffeine."
