Panel 1: Rebos staggers through a rainy street of umbrella-carrying passers-by who cast shadows; he casts none. Caption: "The city didn't notice I was dead." Caption: "Neither did my shadow. It just never came back."
Panel 2: A hand holds a soggy newspaper whose headline reports a reporter's death ruled an accident. Caption: "Accident. Case closed. Fast. Too fast."
Panel 3: Rebos with pale blue glowing eyes holds his head, irritated; a man in a doorway pats his coat pocket of coins. Man: "Sorry, pal. Got no change." SFX: "jingle" Caption: "A lie. I didn't know how I knew. I just knew."
Panel 4: A glowing white cat sits on a dented trash can in a dark alley while a small Rebos waits at the alley entrance. Xyn: "You're late."
Panel 5: A skeptical Rebos crouches beside a white cat on a trash can, face to face in a rainy alley. Rebos: "Cats don't talk." Xyn: "And dead men don't walk. Yet here we are."
Panel 6: An agitated Rebos leans forward, arms out, while a white cat calmly licks its paw. Rebos: "Who killed me? Why am I back? What ARE you?" Xyn: "I'm here to teach, not to explain."
Panel 7: A white cat sits in a streetlamp's light casting a clear shadow; a living ink shadow crawls toward Rebos' hand. Xyn: "Light makes shadows." Xyn: "And shadows are yours now."
Panel 8: Close-up of Rebos' open hand holding a small ink-black shadow that coils like smoke; a white cat stands behind it. Xyn: "Lesson one." Xyn: "Don't get lost in the dark." Caption: "To be continued."
