Panel 1: (image of Kim looking perplexed at spectral figure. Text above reads: “I had a dream that I was visited by an ancestor, but it wasn’t someone I’d ever considered an ancestor before…”) Panel 2: (image of grabby man hand coming for scared girl’s face. Text above reads: “It was the man who raped and impregnated my great-grandmother when she was 14. The family tried to save her from shame by telling the story that she was just a ‘wild and reckless teenager’ for having a child out of wedlock.”) Panel 3: (image of Kim gesturing to spectral figure to get out as the sun rises in the background between them. Text above reads: “Of all my ancestors, why would YOU be the one to visit me in my dreams? You weren’t welcome then and you aren’t welcome now. Leave us be.”)]
