Panel 3 – Eclipse has “heard rumors”.
WHAT rumors has she heard?
That Shadow is in gaol, that Shadow has an illegal liaison with a human? That’s a death penalty crime.

It’s funny, the phraseology of “human being” is not something we ever use for any other kind of being, in fiction or otherwise… yet we often have fictional nonhumans using it for us.

Spock: Nobody’s perfect, Saavik.
