Panel A
Samhain reaches out his hand, and Alice stands to take it. She seems resigned to her fate, and cannot look at her friends. Tommy is confused. Boogy hangs his head in defeat. Samhain addresses Tommy.
SAMHAIN: "What about you, boy?"
TOMMY: "Sir?"
Panel B
Samhain smiles a little. Alice stands beside him, her hand in Samhain's. She looks at her feet, docile in her moment of defeat.
SAMHAIN: "You are well mannered, at least. But you do not really love this girl, do you? This Alice."
TOMMY: "I--"
Panel C
Samhain raises his hand to cut Tommy off. Tommy is confused and frightened.
SAMHAIN: "You do NOT love her. How could you, when you do not even know what she is?"
TOMMY: "I don't--"
Panel D
Alice looks pleadingly up at Samhain, grasping his arm desperately with both hands. Even Boogy seems pained.
SAMHAIN: "Shall I show you what she really is?"
ALICE: "No! Please... don't."
Panel E
Samhain gives Alice a stern look, and she closes her eyes. Fresh tears fall down her cheeks.
SAMHAIN: "He must know, child."
