Panel 1:

• Person 1: "OH MY GOD THERE'S A SPIDER ON THE WINDOWSILL."
• Person 2: "I WANT TO KILL IT, BUT IT DIDN'T DO ANYTHING—I WOULDN'T HAVE DONE IT IN ITS PLACE. BUT IS THAT EVEN A MEANINGFUL STATEMENT? MAYBE IT'S JUST A MECHANISM, NOT A MIND. OR ARE ALL BRAINS JUST ON A SPECTRUM? OH NO, WHAT IF THEY ARE? THEN I CAN'T KILL IT. I CAN'T HAVE ITS DEATH ON MY CONSCIENCE HAUNTING ME FOREVER, DAY OR NIGHT, SLEEP OR WAKE."

Panel 2:

• Text: "SOON…"
