A black-and-white monochrome manga page with four panels, featuring the male shop clerk from image1 and a strange, tall human-shaped dark figure. The page layout leaves ample white margins on the outer edges, with narrow yet clearly visible gutters separating the frames into one wide top panel, two small middle panels side-by-side, and one wide closing bottom panel. Across all appearances, the clerk from image1 has messy light hair, rectangular glasses, freckles, a tall 7.5-head adult proportion, and wears his dark collared shirt, suspenders, and striped apron.
In the top wide panel, framed in a strict pure side profile view, the clerk stands on the right side of a store counter, looking up with an expressionless face. The extremely tall dark figure stands opposite him on the left side of the counter.
The middle-left panel maintains the pure side profile view. The dark figure twists its body and lunges toward the clerk, leaning forward with hands reaching out, surrounded by intense motion speed lines. The male clerk calmly inserts his right hand into his trouser pocket.
The middle-right panel retains the exact frame composition from the middle-left panel, but all motion speed lines around the dark figure are removed, leaving it frozen in stunned stillness. The clerk’s right hand is now out of his pocket, holding a handgun pressed directly against the dark figure’s head.
The bottom wide panel is a close-up shot focusing on a mop, the clerk’s lower body, and the ground. The clerk holds the mop, cleaning bloodstains on the tile floor before the counter.
The style is changed to simple, smooth, and clean pure black-and-white manga line art with sharp, legible lines, precise anatomy, and no grayscale gradient shading.
overlay text: The sound effect 'greeeee...' is written beside the dark figure in the top wide panel. The sound effect 'xia!' cuts across the dark figure’s head in the middle-left panel. The sound effect '......' is placed next to the dark figure’s head in the middle-right panel. The words 'What a hassle!' are written inside a circular speech bubble pointing to the male clerk in the bottom wide panel.
