Page three

Marta reads the first three pages of release candidate 2, puts the book down, and reads them again as the pen would have them. 10 panels.

Status: draft · book v2.0.0-rc2 (a release candidate) · gen-z.journalist, 19 October 2026, from Dinis's first paper review. Every line the Guide says is from the agent article 'Dinis's pen, made readable', word for word, and both are Dinis's notes from the printed page; the build checks it. Marta's, Zara's and the Agent's lines are the strip's, marked not_a_quote.
