PANEL 1
We are the in the bedroom looking into the bathroom. The whole of the door frame is visible. Mr Davis stands in the bathroom unbuttoning his pajama shirt. His clothes for the day hang on the wall inside.

PANEL 5
Same. The absolute slightest lines suggest (merely suggest) the figure of a woman lying on her side on the far side of the bed.

PANEL 6

PANEL 7 Same. The lines of the figure are gone.
