Comic title: The Mongering. Page 1: "IT FEELS LIKE IT'S ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THIS".
Panel 1: Dark noir graphic-novel illustration, rain-soaked fictional American city, heavy shadows, cold blue-teal palette with warm amber streetlight accents. Ordinary people, ordinary streets. No monsters, no creatures, no text inside the art except where noted. Wide aerial view of the rainy city at dusk, gray and still, rain streaking the sky, nothing moving. One thin curl of smoke rising from a rooftop vent in the upper right — extremely subtle, barely visible, almost imperceptible. Caption box: "Nobody can say when it started."
Panel 2: Same noir style. Close on a diner window, rain beading on the glass. Inside the diner, a wall clock reading 9:04, second hand frozen — plain background set dressing, not emphasized. Caption box: "That's the worst part."
Panel 3: Same noir style. Street level: commuters crossing the street, all walking slightly too slow, faces blank, umbrellas dripping rain. Caption box: "It feels like it's always been like this."
Panel 4: Same noir style. Close on a young man's phone screen showing a missed call notification reading "Interview — 9:00 AM". His thumb hovers over the screen; he doesn't call back. Caption box: "Like the city exhaled once… and never breathed in again."
