Panel 1
Same POV shot. A pink blur flashes over Celia’s sword from the top right corner. Celia’s whole body and head are jerked to the side. Ren’s outstretched hand softens a bit from its tense position.
SFX: Shk!
IDA: HEY!
Panel 2
Same POV shot. Celia is forced completely off the panel by the blur which reveals itself to be a swinging sword. Holding the sword is Ida, who is barely in focus due to the action of her swing. She looks angry but confident, her face is turned towards the side where Celia flew off.
IDA: Pick on someone your own size!
Panel 3
Same POV view. Ida crouches forward in front of Ren similar to when they first met. Ida looks down at Ren with her big brown eyes shining. Ida holds her sword upside down, blade stuck in the dirt. Ida smiles gently and sweetly.
