Medium 2-shot. Shaw still gazes at the angel. Aaron still stares at the sketch, trying to look like he's not paying attention to the heavenly creature floating in midair before him.
Shaw (caption): Now what?
Aaron: Maybe he's come to take us with him. Hell of a shortcut, huh?
Shaw: Or not.
Page 46 panel 7
