Panel 1: Another action shot of her getting leveled with a harder punch than she got in the last panel of the previous page; the same "POOF!" visible here as well. She opens her mouth as if about to chuckle.

VOICE

(Cont., Off-Panel; translated from Portuguese) You constantly fight for a world that so many of your countrymen don't desire.

(Bubble 2, Off-Panel) Wouldn't it be easier to let 'em flop around and die off?

Panel 2: Celia pushes herself up off the ground a few moments later; her head craned upward, chuckling proudly and loudly at the question.

CELIA

(to the voice, translated from Portuguese) Giant troll with a beard- that supposed to scare me? Dude...​

Panel 3: Back in a standing pose, she shifts into a boastful pose, looking around to get a good look at the attacker. As she speaks, you can see a brief glimmer from her arm like sunlight hitting a metal beam.

CELIA

(Cont.) I know it's a crap job. Nobody goes into the activist sphere looking for joy and ease. But as my grandma said after Sousa got elected...

Panel 4: Same setting/layout as the previous panel. As she finishes the rest of her statement, you can see the whole of her body gleaming with the same steel shine.

CELIA

(Cont.) "The hardest days make the strongest steel!"

Panel 5: Same setting/layout as the previous panel. A shadow starts to get cast moments later above the young woman's head. She bears down at the sight, prepared for whatever's coming.

CELIA

Oh, I've been itching for a fight! You're not on the top of that list. But fuck it...!

Panel 6: Same setting/layout as the previous panel. Before she finishes the rest of her statement, she is enveloped in a puff of purple smoke from the scene; a massive fist smashing into the ground where she formally stood, missing its intended target.

Panel 7: A chaotic flurry of fighting commences between Celia and the massive troll. You can see puffs of smoke at different portions of the massive body, connected to pained expressions on his face. Then...

Panel 1: Shifting back to the real world late at night, the young woman- in human form, wearing a standard hospital patient gown- poofs back with a hard "THUD!" inside a fast food restaurant; a chunk of tile shooting off in all directions. The only light inside comes from the streets, showing the logo for Giraffas which is closed at this point.

Panel 2: A two-part set of panels that starts following her taking a few steps to the right, glancing over at the indentation on the floor with a look of shock on her face.

CELIA

(to herself, translated from Portuguese) Weird...Sorry, to whoever that belonged to.

Panel 3: In the second part, seconds later, a sensory trigger hits her at that moment; her eyebrow rising slightly in a spark of curiosity.

CELIA

...I--I know that smell!

Panel 4: Cut to a shot of the wall across from where she's standing in Panel 3; a rush of light from a passing car illuminating the Giraffas logo.

CELIA

(Off-Panel)

But that's impossible. There's no way I could've traveled that far, that fast.​

Panel 5: Back to Celia, stumbling backwards a few beats later; a bit discombobulated by the discovery, and trying to figure out what's happening.

CELIA

(Cont.) Unless I'm still in the dream, like one of those dream within a...​

Panel 6: Same setting/layout as the previous panel. She poofs back out of the scene moments later- a split second after bumping into a chair which wobbles slightly to the left.
