A five panel comic featuring five characters, done in sepia tones.

The bandit, Coin, is a young woman with fair skin and dark hair styled into two prominent “spikes” symmetrically placed at the back of her head. She wears a rugged ensemble of vest, with cloth arm braces.

Idra is a young woman with fair skin and light hair that falls into her face, held back somewhat by a headband with a notch in the center. She wears a thick necklace and bracelets, and a sleeveless top and white shorts, held together with an obi.

Lani is a young woman with white hair and tan skin, cut short and wild. She wears a short sleeve, skin-tight black wet suit.

Isla is a young woman with fair skin and curly, light hair pulled back into neat coifs. She wears a nurse’s uniform, which entails a long sleeved pink kimono beneath a white apron with frilly sleeves.

Daki is a young woman with fair skin and light hair, pulled back in a half-bun. She wears the typical Galaxy Team uniform: red scarf, black skintight long sleeve shirt underneath a dark blue uniform that crosses over the right breast, pants and traditional shoes, held together with an obi. An emblem visibly decorates the left arm of the uniform.

Panel 1:

Coin holds Lani in a chokehold. She is looking at somebody off-camera, menacingly and loudly speaking. Lani in herarms is blinking awake, nonplussed by the current ado. An arrow points to Lani, indicating in text that she “was napping on the beach”

Coin: Surrender! I have captured your teammate!

Panel 2:

The panel reveals that Coin is speaking to Daki, Isla, and Irida. Irida, standing furthest to the right of the panel, is visibly agitated, clasping her hands to her chest. Daki stands with her arms folded non-aggressively, and Isla with her hands held in a relaxed position to her front. Both are watching Irida, while Irida looks off screen at Coin.

Irida: Wait! Please don’t hurt her!

Panel 3:

Coin continues to hold Lani in the choke hold, clearly combative and unmoved. Meanwhile, Lani seems completely unfazed by her current predicament. She brings her right hand up and yawns widely, as indicated by the accompanying SFX.

Coin: You’re in no position to make demands

Panel 4:

Daki, Isla, and Irida remain posed similarly to before; however, now all three have their attention on Coin.

Daki: Oh... uh... I don’t think she was talking to you.

Panel 5:

The first signs of unease have crept into Coin’s expression, her attention for the first time changing to her “captive.” Lani meanwhile has fully awakened, her face cast in shadows and one eye shining dangerously. A full tooth grin has spread across her face in an unnerving way.
