Panel 1: a man (bearded, wearing white shirt with long sleeves, black long pants and dark blue shoes) is alone, sat down on the bench inside a subway train station. He's surrounded by a soup of absurdities: a fire extinguisher labeled "KeroZ-N" (pun on "kerosene") reads "Warn: flammable", an exit sign has a paper glued to it reading "Under maintenance / sorry for inconvenience", a public landline telephone whose receiver dangles from its own cable reads "NO LINE", the column between the rails point to "Abyss" to the right and "void" to the left, the PA system is announcing "Ding! Railway operations are still facing difficulties. The train is expected to arrive at: NaN AM. You can check additional information through our app: «where the heck is my train?» available on the Play Store and App Store" (NaN is a programmer joke). There's a clock-thermometer attached to the ceiling, it reads "02:59 A" (one minute to 3AM), "12⁰C" (quite chilly night) and a digital billboard showing part of an advertisement entitled "MyGrave": to the side of a illustration showing a coffin containing a man in a suit and fedora hat, and a bouquet of roses and an upside-down christian cross, there's the text "Home, sw" (truncated "home, sweet home") followed by "Comfy & priv" (truncated "comfy and private") followed by "MyGrave" followed by "check our app n" (truncated "check our app now") followed by a doodled QR code, the Android mascot with a sinister grimace, and the Apple logo with a serpent coiled around the apple. The man is downcast, looking down at his lap, both hands to his lap. There's absolutely nobody other than the man. There's no train, either.

Panel 2: scenery is the same as previously, but the clock thermometer now reads "9⁰C", the PA system announces the bizarre "Our toilets are smart and digital! If you need to use the restroom, sign up through the app «iToilet» exclusively available for iOS" and there's suddenly a great horned owl depicted mid-flight gliding towards the man, sharp talons extended forwards while doing "ooooohhh" (onomatopoeic long owl call). The man's posture remains the same, with only his eyes changing into a deadpanned side glance towards the owl.

Panel 3: same scenery, but now the owl is perched one-footed atop the bench back while gently touching the man's shoulder with the other foot, staring at him with the "sinister smile" typical of Bubo owls while also doing "boo-boo-boo-boo-boo..." (onomatopoeic roost call). The man expresses "sigh" and calmly/resignedly looks down with slightly closed eyelids. The thermometer now reads 3⁰C, and it's still 02:59AM. The PA system continues the dystopian advertisements: "We're constantly improving the experience for all users! Send your suggestions through the «Opinion bin» option inside the app «Pain Train»".

Panel 4: the entire scenery now plunges into darkness, only the clock and thermometer remains powered on, now reading "03:00 AM" (3AM, witching hour) while its thermometer reads a subzero 6 (-6⁰C). The owl is gone but not exactly gone: Lilith's silhouette (winged red-haired woman with long horns and long hair, appearing here as a dark shadow with glowing red hair, glowing white teeth with vampire fangs, glowing red nails, and glowing orange eyes, exactly same eyes as the owl's) wields a long scythe (whose sharp blade edge glows white), stands behind the man while looks down at him, smilin and touches his shoulder while saying in red text: "Expecting a ride?". The man, still sat down with the same static posture as previously, gets visibly scared, with startled eyes and open mouth. The PA system goes silent, and so does the billboard advertisement, which became a black screen below the clock.

New comic strip.
