THE MONGERING — PAGE 9: THE WATCHES. A noir comic page in black-and-white with teal and amber accents, rainy noir cinematic look. Use the uploaded character reference for Douglas — a man with short dark hair and a beard, wearing a dark suit. 4 panels.
Panel 1: Next morning, rain. Douglas at the bus stop beside Marcus, who stares at nothing, resume folder damp in his hands. Douglas (speech balloon): "Morning. You waiting on the 9:40?"
Panel 2: Marcus, hollow, not looking at him. Marcus (speech balloon): "What's the point. It's not my fault the bus—" He stops, frowning at his own words.
Panel 3: Close on Marcus's wristwatch: stopped at 5:17, the hands clearly reading 5:17. Douglas (speech balloon): "When did your watch stop?"
Panel 4: Split panel — Marcus's stopped wristwatch at 5:17 beside Douglas's watch, which ticks at the correct time. Douglas stares at the two watches. Marcus (speech balloon): "...dunno. What time is it, even?" Caption at bottom of panel: "His watch was right. The kid's wasn't. Douglas didn't know why that scared him."
IMPORTANT: Marcus's watch must read 5:17 in both Panel 3 and Panel 4 — keep it consistent. Render all speech, captions and watch faces exactly as written, with perfect spelling.
