The text reads, “I feel it coming before it arrives”. The first panel is in full colour and depicts Ellika sitting at a desk and writing. She is rosy-cheeked and healthy looking. The background is a psychedelic pattern of bright colours and wavy lines. The second panel is almost identical, except everything is black and white and the colours are escaping in squiggly lines across the page, breaking through the boundaries of the panel and the page itself. Ellika is looking directly at the reader.

The colourful waves have formed an oval vortex and Ellika floats in the middle, eyes shut and hair flying all over the place looking tired but content. The text is curved to follow the shape if the vortex and reads, “Despite my aching body and bone-deep fatigue I am so alert and grateful to be alive”.

We see Ellika trapped inside a diamond-shaped cage, clinging onto the bars. Several white ghost-like echoes of her are silhouetted against a black background and fall away from her to the top right and bottom left of the page, fading into the darkness. The text reads, “Time rapidly contracts and the dizzying speed of it feels like motion sickness. The future ceases to exist. The past no longer matters. I don’t have hopes or dreams any more and my plans are a bad joke. I am forced to exist in the now. The migraine becomes my prison.”
