Panel 1

Darkness. Crow voices speak.

CROW 1: Is it dead yet?

CROW 2: I don't think so.

NARRATION: ...Yet, she did not die.

Panel 2

CROW 1: Then when can we eat it?

CROW 2: Wait, I think it's still alive!

Panel 3

Cora's eyes open, seeing crows.

CORA: Talking crows?

Panel 4

Cora sits up, surrounded by several crows. One crow looks nervous.

CROW: She is alive!

CROW (KARAKE): So, we don't get to eat her?

Panel 5

A commanding crow scolds the other.

CROW: Stop creeping her out, Karake!

KARAKE: Ye-yes, your highness!

CROW: Please forgive Karake's rudeness. He can be a little insensitive.

CROW: What are you called?

Nice thought bubble effect! I circle-cropped a speed tone to make it.

Notice the lack of nipples. In Naoko Takeuchi’s *Sailor Moon, *she often left nipples out of scenes. It seems to desexualize nudity. That’s why I did that here.

And for the record, no comic book has ever had more accurately or lovingly rendered crows. Ever.
