Panel 1: Close-up of a figure in a yellow hood saying “... and he appears”. Panel 2: The figure in yellow holds the map, looking at it. They say, "New friends to play with? Lost my old friends... and this guy...". Panel 3: The figure in yellow looks at the green-skinned man and says, "He's cool and all but... Talk, talk, talk. Talk." Panel 4: A close-up of the figure in the red hooded robe saying, "I was told you could lead us to paradise..." Panel 5: The figure in yellow stands near a fire pit holding a map open. They say, "Paradise huh? Yeah... I can do that... But first... we'll need to find my old friends." The green-skinned man stands nearby. The figure in red, a dog, and a boy with a backpack are facing the fire. A text bubble above the green-skinned man reads, "I thought they were lost." The yellow-hooded figure replies, "That doesn't mean they can't be found. I mean... you found me, didn't you?" Panel 6: A close-up of the burning map. A speech bubble says, "After all, it is a small world!"

Panel 1: Two figures stand near a tent with a plane in the background. One wearing green, holding a rifle, says, "Stay close to me, Zhabu." The other, in a red hooded robe, replies, "Zhabu doesn't like this place. It stinks." A figure in red says, "Tell Zhabu to have faith. The path to paradise isn't an easy one." Panel 2: Inside a tent, a figure in green with a rifle stands next to a boy in a striped shirt. A dog lies on the ground next to text reading, “Woof”. Panel 3: A close-up of a man wearing green asking, "Is this who we're looking for? If so... I think you're a little late." Panel 4: A close-up of the figure in the red hooded robe replying, "No. We're looking for him." Panel 5: A close-up of a smiling figure wearing a yellow hooded top, holding a folded map. Text says "Well... as the saying goes..." Panel 6: The speech bubble from Panel 5 continues with "Speak of the devil..." with no figure visible.
