Panel-by-panel breakdown
This template has no printed dialogue. The story is told entirely through the artwork, so each panel below is described from the image.
Panel 1
Side view: on a quiet street with lamp posts, she stands at a big shop window with a castle display, one hand at her chest.
Panel 2
Close-up: she touches her chin, thoughtful, eyes soft.
Panel 3
Wide panel: she raises her hand to the glass, and on the other side a smiling little girl in overalls with a ponytail meets her palm, holding a castle card tied with a blue ribbon.
Panel 4
Split panel: in the window the girl waves, while the woman walks away from us down a bright avenue toward a castle under blue sky.
