Panel 1: A panel from Alice’s POV, where everything glows white…

Panel 2: … and then all is black…

Panel 3: … and then Alice begins to open her eyes…

Panel 4: … and then Alice beholds the onrushing floor…

Panel 5: With a THUD! Alice falls off the couch, landing on the floor of her apartment.

Panel 6: Alice rubs her head, confused. The lighting in the apartment has changed – now it’s daylight.

ALICE: {NNGH}

Panel 7: Alice stares at her painting, which is lying on the floor, something unusual sticking out of it: a fencing sword.

VOICE: We won’t be a slave to the old ways.
