90: Doomed to Darkness - April 19, 2024 (F)
Panel 1
[The Asterism is in a basement of the Black Manor in her bird-headed humanoid form of a three-eyed flamingo, wearing a button-up white shirt and tan slacks. She has her head and one arm stretched unnaturally long so that she can replace a light bulb in the basement.]
The Asterism: "It’s like this house’s veins pulse with a cursed electricity, each bulb a heartbeat doomed to stop."
Panel 2
[The view shifts to the void of space, with her three eyes floating amongst the darkness.]
