Panel 1:
Sonia still stands dramatically, but the glowing colorful energy is nowhere to be seen. Tasha and Frank both exchange a surprised and confused glance as Frank shrugs.
Sonia: ...
Tasha: ...
Frank: ...

Panel 2:
A shot of the stream, with Tasha obscured by shadow and Sonia in the background looking awkward and self-conscious.
Tasha: Well... you heard it here first, folks. A bold, naive, arguably impossible vow from the heiress to TrueCorp herself. Pretty inspiring stuff though! Wouldn't that be a nice world to live in, dear viewers?

Panel 3:
A view of Eloise Trueman in her office, drinking another cup of tea. She glances down at her smartphone, looking tired. Voiceover from Tasha plays throughout the rest of the page, although Eloise is not watching the stream.
Tasha VO: Unfortunately, most of us don't weild that kind of power, wealth, or influence. Ultimately it's up to the Truemans where their family story goes next.
Phone: Ping!
Eloise: Oh lord, now what...?

Panel 4:
A close-up of Eloise's phone, on which a flood of notification snippets begin to appear.
Tasha VO: Will Sonia's Promise prove to be sincerity or shallow showmanship? Only time will tell. But... we can always hope.
Phone: Ping! Ping! Pingpingpingpingping--

Panel 5:
A close-up of Eloise's face. She looks furious as a vein pops out, but her eyes faintly reflect the glowing colorful energy.
Tasha VO: We're out of time for now. Tune in next time for a new "D.L. on the D.L.!" Thank you for wawtching "Vera Tea with T. Vera," and remember: the tea is out there. If they don't spill it, we will.

Panel 6:
A view of Frank's camera lens, which reflects an image of Sonia crouching on the ground next to the evidence folder. Her head is in her hands and she appears to be crying, but the amulet continues to glow faintly.
Tasha (offscreen): And... cut.

Don't you hate it when your granddaughter casually breaks the internet?

And scene. That interview felt like it took forever, but Sonia's finally free! Maybe not free from consequences though. In the meantime, it's time to catch up on what Ben's been up to.
