Panel 1

Two crows fly together, talking.

CROW 1: Do you really think—?

CROW 2: Hush! We won't know until Branwen confirms it.

Panel 2

Cora works intently at a sewing machine, cutting and stitching black fabric.

NARRATION: Day after day, Cora labored on a gown worthy of the finest crow court.

Panel 3

Lynette talks on the phone, looking annoyed and dismissive. Cora sews in the background.

LYNETTE: Yeah. I know she hasn't gone to school for the past four days.

LYNETTE: She's been sewing.

LYNETTE: She does what she wants.

LYNETTE: She's not my kid, okay?

I know she’s my character and all, but I really loathe Lynette. She is such a bad mother. Woman needs to see a psychologist. I don’t know if I’ve already mentioned this, but in case I haven’t:

After preproduction on the graphic novel was finished, my mom was reading it and noticed that Lynette had a lot in common with my father in that she denies that she is the parent of her child. My father and I have never spoken, and he has never replied to my letters. When I looked again I realized she was right.
