Healing comic template: a tired woman at a desk hands her stack of papers to a glowing future self and turns off the lamp

Template guide

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.

  1. Panel 1

    Under a desk lamp with a crescent moon outside, she writes while leaning on her hand, eyes half closed; a huge stack of papers rises beside her and crumpled paper litters the desk.

  2. Panel 2

    A glowing, see-through woman with the same bun smiles and takes a stack of papers from her; she looks up in surprise.

  3. Panel 3

    She reaches up to switch off the lamp, head down on the desk, smiling; by the moonlit window the glowing figure stands with her back to us.
