Rebos stands at his own grave. Welcome to Episode 3 of Shadowed, our noir webcomic: a closed casket, rows of empty chairs and a white cat who warns him that hiding costs. Missed the last episode? Read Shadowed #2: The Cat Who Wasn’t There first.

Shadowed #3 cover: Closed Casket. Rebos stands behind a closed coffin in a foggy graveyard with candles and empty folding chairs, a white cat sitting on the lid.
Panel 1: Wide rainy graveyard in fog: an editor with an umbrella, a young woman with a camera and a police officer stand behind a closed coffin beside an open grave; Rebos stands apart by a cross, a white cat on a stone beside him. Xyn: "Most men never get to see who shows up."
Panel 2: Close-up of Rebos pulling black ink-like shadows over his eyes and collar, his features blurring, while a white cat watches from a gravestone under a bare tree. Caption: "They could see me. They just couldn't know it was me." Xyn: "Hiding costs. Don't stay too long."
Panel 3: High view of a closed coffin beside an open grave in a foggy graveyard; an older woman with an umbrella, a young woman with a camera and notebook, and a bare-headed police officer holding his cap stand behind it, with many empty folding chairs between the gravestones. Caption: "Three people. Rows of empty chairs. That's the price of asking questions."
Panel 4: Rebos in the left foreground in profile, one eye glowing pale blue, ink tendrils curling around him; behind the coffin a police officer with his cap in hand stands among gravestones and empty chairs in fog. Officer: "A tragic accident. Nothing more." Caption: "Liar."
Panel 5: Close-up of a closed wooden coffin beaded with rain, brass handle visible, no reflection in the lid. Caption: "Somebody's in there. Or something. Or nothing." Caption: "Strange, not knowing if you're attending your own funeral."
Panel 6: A young woman lays a crumpled notepad on the coffin; Rebos, eyes glowing green, stands among writhing ink shadows. Colleague: "You told me to never stop digging."
Panel 7: A white cat sits close to Rebos, whose ink disguise is cracking and peeling from his face. Xyn: "Light feeds your shadows. Feelings feed you." Xyn: "Feel too much, and they stop listening."
Panel 8: Rebos, worn and seen from behind, faces a guard in a dark suit and sunglasses who stands on the wet gravel beside a black limousine at the cemetery gate; a seated figure in profile is visible behind the rear window. Caption: "Not everyone came to mourn. Some came to make sure I stayed buried."
Panel 9: An old woman in a black veil with milky eyes looks at a white cat among gravestones; Rebos stands in the gloom behind them. Caption: "Everyone looked through me. She looked at what wasn't there."
Panel 10: In the empty rainy cemetery an exhausted Rebos holds a torn, soaked notepad; a white cat looks up at him; a torn note page is shown as an inset and a white flash of lightning cuts across the frame. Caption: "My handwriting. A memory I couldn't hold." Rebos: "Whoever's in that box, someone knows why I'm still out here." Xyn: "Now you're asking the right questions." Caption: "To be continued."
