LUKE: WHATEVER HAPPENS TO US, WE GO DORMANT FOR A WHILE, OUR MINDS ARE VISITED BY OUR OWN FUTURE MINDS, AND THEN OUR BODIES REBOOT.
LUKE: AND, ON TOP OF THAT, VIOLENT PETURBATION OF OUR MINDFIELDS CAUSES THEM TO SURGE AND EXPAND.

PANEL 2
LUKE: BECAUSE, I TELL YOU, I’M NOT THE LUKE WHO WOKE UP THIS MORNING. MY MIND IS WORKING LIKE NEVER BEFORE.
LUKE: AND THEN I THOUGHT ABOUT ARKADY.

PANEL 3
LUKE: WHO’S HAD AT LEAST ONE NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE THAT WE KNOW ABOUT, AND IS MORE GIFTED THAN ANY OF US…

PANEL 4
LUKE: WE CAN’T DIE.
LUKE: UNTIL WE BECOME THOSE PEOPLE IN THE FUTURE WHO CAN REACH ACROSS TIME ITSELF.
