PAGE 55 (Four panels)

Panel One: Extreme close-up view of Hope’s brain floating in the tube.

Caption: And it begins to dawn on me what might be meant by “We must boost the signal,” itself a form of leaking signal…

Panel Two: Portraits of the four women, Amy, Faith, Grace, and Hope, arranged in a network diagram.

Caption: This gel…it is reading us like books…then transmitting across, which is how I can have the subjective experiences of other women.

Panel Three: Hope in the laboratory, holding the tablet on which she was reading the dossiers of the dissolved women, her eyes closed and rubbing one of her temples, as if she has a passing bit of headache.

Caption: And I begin to wonder…was I receiving the “signal” even before “deciding” to undergo my present…change?

Panel Four: Hope and Brian back in their little kitchen, in the middle of an angry argument.

Caption: Were all the compelling “arguments” I had for doing what I’m doing just…rationalizations floating atop some deeper motive?
