Main comic: A young girl with orange hair in a ponytail looks up worriedly and says, "Daddy, I'm afraid of the dark..." Her smiling father rests a reassuring hand on her head and replies, "Oh honey that's just silly. The darkness isn't what's going to kill you..." His cheerful tone makes the ominous phrasing of the reassurance land as a threat. Votey (aftercomic): In a dark bedroom rendered in stark black-and-white, the father is now a shadowy silhouette leaning over the child's bed, finishing his thought: "The Satan in the closet is."
