There are 8 panels.
PANEL 1: The husband steps in his path, placing his hand against Hector's chest to stop him. He warns him: “It’s dangerous at night. Besides, there is a wolfpotami herd nearby”.
PANEL 2: From the bed, Fran shouts, impatient and exasperated: “The more reason to go now!”.
PANEL 3: The man replies authoritatively, standing firmly a few steps from the bed, gesturing with his hand: “You are in no condition to go anywhere!”. Fran, sitting on the edge of the bed, is annoyed by the refusal. Hector remains standing in front of the man, witnessing the scene.
PANEL 4: A little calmer, with his hands in an explanatory gesture, the man tells her: “The spirits protect the mouth at night, he’ll be alright”.
PANEL 5: The old man sits at the table very relaxed, legs spread, one hand on his hip. He still holds the wine bottle in his other hand. The other man declares: “We leave at first light”.
PANEL 6: Hector clasps his arm as if hugging himself, looking in Fran’s direction with a sorrowful calm.
PANEL 7: Fran looks on with a dismayed and somewhat helpless expression.
PANEL 8: The man picks up his young daughter and gestures to Hector: “Go sit at the table, dinner will be ready soon”.
