There are 9 panels.
PANEL 1: Gefrei takes the tray with the glass away, looking askance at Gustav with some suspicion.
PANEL 2: Still standing, he supports part of his body weight against the cabinet with his hand and rests his other hand on the belt of his pants. With a better semblance and a predisposed countenance, he asks: “How could I be of use, lieutenants?”.
PANEL 3: Mako responds with another question: “Commander Gefrei, right?”. His body language denotes that he has a certain lead in the conversation. He has one leg resting on the other in a square position, in a rather masculine way, and his hands are intertwined on top. In the background, Gus pays attention to what is being said. He is sitting with his torso forward, resting his elbows on his legs and his hands falling to the middle.
PANEL 4: Already seated, Gefrei responds: "Co-commander Gefrei, to be precise and much to my regret. Please forgive me, it’s been some time since we last had any visits". Mako replies: “I admit I am surprised you recognize us”. On the adjacent wall there is a window through which sunlight enters.
PANEL 5: He continues with a question: “Have we met on the continent?”. The light highlights their silhouettes.
PANEL 6: Gefrei responds with a pleasant attitude: "Worry not. My ears tend to forget names, but my eyes believe they remember you... always beside the so good natured captain".
PANEL 7: Mako's face seems to light up upon hearing the co commander's response.
PANEL 8: Finally he notes, introducing himself: "Your eyes remember well sir. Lieutenants Mako Altair...".
PANEL 9: He introduces his companion: “And Gustav Heinz at your command”, who shows a very modest smile.
