ALT comic page; top frame is a group of people consisting of amity, willow, hunter, camila, gus, luz, and vee. camila is turned away from the viewer while interacting with the kids. the words above it say, “camila noceda brought new kids to town”. the next frame is a close up of the back of willow, and next to her are gus and hunter. only part of gus’s face is visible. this frame says, “they’re a quiet lot, sticking to themselves”. the next frame is of amity crouching down, holding out a hand and petting a cat with a soft smile on her face. the words here say, “they’re kind”.

ALT a frame at the top of the page is a close up of gus’s eyes, wide and unblinking. his beanie is now red, and his pupils are the only thing colored white. the words above him say, “but they forget to blink, sometimes”. below it is pure black, and a stark white hand reaches out, wearing a red beaded bracelet. words around it say, “their skin feels… wrong, somehow. like it’s stretched over too many bones”.

ALT first frame is of willow with a closed mouth smile, wearing a little red flower necklace and her round glasses colored white and hiding her eyes. the words next to her say, “it’s unwise to look at them when they smile”. the next frame is a close up of willow’s face, her grin open mouthed now. her teeth resemble those of a carnivore, sharp fangs a lot longer than they should be. the words next to her say, “humans don’t have teeth like those”.

ALT there’s a single image here, surrounded by black. from left to right is hunter, gus, willow, amity, luz, and vee. only gus, willow, and amity are facing the viewer, the others turned away and shaded slightly lighter, as they aren’t the focus. gus and amity’s pupils are colored white, while willow’s glasses cover her eyes. their individual red items are displayed. the text says, “camila noceda brought new kids to town. try not to think about them too much”.
