Page 1 of comic drawn in a digital ink-brush style with greyscale shading. Text reads: "fight / flight - a North Bound story by Maiji." Opening panel depicts a moonlit site in a forest. Hokushin is grooming a horse. He detects a new presence. The horse grows nervous.*
Hokushin, thinking: (It’s not one of the new recruits.)
?: "Don’t waste time pretending. I know what you are."Page 2 of fight / flight: Otake, as he appears at the end of I Heard A Cicada Cry, leans against a tree, arms folded.
Otake: "You’ve killed many humans. Devoured many more."
Hokushin turns his head, but says nothing. The horse nervously skitters off. Otake: "Not going to defend yourself? 'I did only as my master bid! I must eat humans to survive!'"Page 3 of fight / flight. Hokushin: "You’re not human either. Why do you care?"
Otake: "Very perceptive. What gave me away?"
Hokushin: "Nothing. Thank you for confirming."
Otake twitches.
