Panel 1-2: The kid sat hugging their knees tightly with a frightened expression. They close their eyes tightly. Next panels drawn in silhouette with white lines. Panel 3: The kid in the past talking to their parent as they point towards their room. Panel 4: The parent bending to check under the bed for them as the kid peeks out from the edge of the panel.
