manga style
Black and white manga page, dark horror style, heavy crosshatching shadows, distorted proportions, thin jagged lines, heavy use of negative space and black areas.
Character one: (Rei) long straight black hair completely covering one eye, empty emotionless expression, school uniform soaked from rain.
Character two: (The Thing pretending to be her friend) wearing the same uniform but with unnaturally long limbs and stretched smile.
Panel 1: (narrow horizontal top panel) Rei walks alone through a completely empty school hallway at night, rain visibly pouring against the windows.
Panel 2: (middle left, strongly tilted Dutch angle) Rei stops walking and slowly turns her head to look behind her.
Panel 3: (middle right, extreme close-up) Rei sees her reflection in the dark window, but in the reflection The Thing is standing directly behind her with a too-wide smile; when she turns around there is nothing there.
Panel 4: (full bottom page bleed, no borders) The Thing’s face suddenly fills the entire page, mouth stretching impossibly wide, eyes pitch black, whispering directly toward the reader “I’ve always been here, Rei-chan.” Thick black ichor drips from its mouth while tiny screaming silhouette of Rei is visible in the foreground.
