There are 6 panels.

PANEL 1: Back in Gefrei's office, Mako confronts him, somewhat incredulous: “But how is it that Lieutenant Emma ended up in a situation with this man? She was supposed to have no interaction with the town”.

PANEL 2: Gus, still sitting at the back of the room, brings his sleeve to his mouth and coughs loudly, repeatedly.

PANEL 3: Gefrei looks at him silently, serious.

PANEL 4: He adds, with a hint of malice, looking at both of them: “Did you know that when planning the settlement, there were supposed to be no scourge carriers?”.

PANEL 5: Gefrei recounts: “We set up a cabin far away in the woods to house the lieutenant”. The image shows a forest at night with a simple cabin in the middle, warm light streaming in from a window and smoke billowing from the chimney. Several meters away, standing by a tree in the shadows, Wade's silhouette, dressed in an overcoat, observes the house.

PANEL 6: Gefrei continues: “But be it because we are victims of misfortune or something else, this troubled family decided that they liked to camp nearby”. On the table in the cabin, hands meticulously pour hot tea from a tin kettle into a cup.

Time for some speculative math. We are completing approximately two chapters per year. Of course it's hard to estimate on storylines that have yet to grow, shrink and change as we write them, but we do have all of the story planned at a birds eye level, and at our current speed, it would take us at least 25 years to finish the story. At some point we plan on moving faster, after all, we are excited to put everything we have been creating so far down into words (and drawings). For now though, we have comfortably been keeping a steady pace during this last chapter, as we are one chapter ahead in terms of drawings and two chapters ahead in terms of writing. Slow steady progress is much better than no progress.
