The only sound is the whisper of graphite on heavy paper. A celebrated comic artist is curled over the drafting table, immersed in the meticulous, frame-by-frame alchemy of a story weeks in the building.

The creator's intense concentration fractures as a low, liquid murmur rolls up from their stomach, a tangible threat to the artistic trance and to the fragile secrecy maintained beneath a professional exterior.
