Page 7. A single panel, extreme close-up. Momo's face fills the frame. Both enormous amber eyes are flung wide open, pupils sharp. Her cowlick springs back upright. Her red scarf is just visible at the bottom of the panel, the cardboard box rim in the foreground. Total alertness, straight from a dead sleep. MOMO: "There. Movement."
Image description
Extreme close-up of a chibi girl's face snapping awake behind a cardboard box rim, both enormous amber eyes flung wide open and alert, her cowlick springing upright.
About this chapter
