Description
Panel One: Medium shot of Cal in profile. He's standing in front of the dartboard, with the fingertips of his right hand on the board. The scalpel he threw is still stuck firmly in it. He looks pensive as he thinks, "Wow... That's a lot of broken blades."
Panel Two: Close up shot of Cal's hand from his POV. The dartboard is full of slashes and there are a number of broken-off scalpel blades stuck into it. Cal pulls out one of the broken blades. "They're in deep," he thinks. SFX: *pick*
Panel Three: Wide center panel with a closeup of Cal's left hand over a wide shot of the room. Cal's hand in the foreground is full of broken blades he's taken from the dartboard. The wide shot has Cal standing by the board, holding up a blade as he looks over his shoulder towards DJ's half of the room.On the foreground we see his messy bed, tossed bookbag, and can full of trash. Cal is frowning slightly, but he looks a bit sad rather than angry. He thinks, as he surveys the mess, "So... He's having a hard time, too."
Panel Four: Wide, thin panel of Cal as he unfurls DJ's blanket and begins to make the bed. He's smiling a little as he thinks, "Might as well help him out!" SFX: -fwip!-
Author Note
Here we see one of Cal's core personality traits in action, best summed up by Uncle Iroh! “Sometimes the best way to solve your own problems is to help someone else.”
It's 200 years in the future. Some of our present-day media has survived, and because it's my world, I've decided that ATLA is considered one of the Classics. If you haven't seen it, seriously, you should.
Also, there's a TON of symbolism going on with the art on this page, including some that won't be apparent for a while, so... Yeah. Try to find them!
