Focus on the Main Character:

PAGE 4 (3 PANELS)

PANEL 1 (Tall, narrow panel occupying the left quarter of the upper half of the page)

The patient's entire body is rigid with tension. Every muscle appears locked. Their face is twisted into a painful grimace.

No dialogue.

Sweat beads across the patient's forehead. Their teeth are clenched tightly, jaw muscles straining as though resisting an overwhelming sensation.

PANEL 1 (Large left-side panel)

The patient staggers through the room toward the doorway. Their gait is awkward and uncertain, forcing them to steady themselves against nearby walls and furniture.

No dialogue.

PANEL 2 (Large right-side panel)

The patient abruptly stops.

They stare intently at a section of wall. Their expression suggests they are focused on something beyond it; something the reader cannot see.

The way the MC's kiss consumes souls instead of flesh makes the horror feel intimate and deeply personal. What made u choose that over a traditional attack?
