Transcript
A young person with a large backpack crouches by the edge of a still pool of water in a vast, dark cave. They are drinking from their cupped hands, water dripping from their chin and hands back into the pool. In the next panel, they look intently at their cupped hands, their eyes wide with surprise. In the final panel, their hands and forearms are covered in bright, glowing fur, and they look at them with a surprised expression. The cave is lit by many glowing plants and fungi along the water's edge and on rock formations. In the upper left background, a large, ornate building stands on a high rock formation across the pool, also illuminated by glowing plants. Two other people stand by the water's edge in the background; one is tall and wears a long coat, and the other is shorter and is crouched by the water.
