Panel 2: The Brain’s Tangled Signals

In the second panel, the silhouette fragments into abstraction, its head crowned with a brain pulsing with blue signals—web-like threads of thought that twist and entangle. A single dark “eye” stares out from the center, piercing the cold gray expanse accented with melancholic blue. Here, the mind awakens to intrusive and dark thoughts, its signals distorting perception into a web of doubt and detachment. The viewer is drawn into the chilling shift, sensing the fragility of a psyche on the brink of unraveling.
