THE MONGERING — PAGE 7: SMALL TALK. 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: A coffee shop. Douglas at a table with a young couple — first-time homebuyers, nervous, hopeful. He's warm, steady, explaining something with his hands. Douglas (speech balloon): "...straight answer: yes, you can. Here's how."
Panel 2: At the next table, two strangers talking, light and casual. Steam curling from a coffee cup between them — subtle. Stranger (speech balloon): "Tough break on that bakery deal downtown. Some people have all the luck."
Panel 3: Douglas's head turns, mid-sentence with his clients. Something in the stranger's tone hooked him. Douglas thinking (thought bubble): "...what did she just say?"
Panel 4: The two strangers, already leaving, faces blank. The words hang in the air. Douglas thinking (thought bubble): "No. I heard it right. So why did it sound like two things at once?"
