Panel 1:
Mist curls across the panel.
Caption: Tile is asleep.
Panel 2:
Tile floats sideways into the panel, as though carried by the mist.
Caption: There she is.
Panel 3:
Tile stands watching the mist depart, now holding a tall staff with a five-pointed star on the top.
Caption: Tile is dreaming.
Panel 4:
The staff stands on its own, and Tile, now two-thirds the height she was before, clings to the top of it, reaching out with desperation to an apple that hangs in the air above a basin of water.
Caption: This is her dream.
