1.1: Exterior, day, a foot rising in
mid-stride off of a stomped dragonfly, lying eviscerated on a St. Louis,

1.2: Scott Lang in his Ant-Man gear climbing
through the crushed carcass of the insect.
He is starting a journey from the tail in this panel to the head in Panel 1.5.

creating the illusion of crying.
Scott Lang (caption): Cassie always loved dragonflies.
