Going to Weather

Panel 1 [The camera pans further down the dock to show LAWRENCE MANNER also looking up at the ship, only more wistfully/hopefully. Lawrence is a slender white man in his mid 20s, dressed in a style that is similar to others on the docks, but looks a little too crisp, not worn in.]

Panel 2 [Shot over Lawrence’s shoulder as he looks at a flyer nailed to a post]

Panel 3 [Close up of the flyer, and Lawrence’s hand lifting it closer to see]
