A comic page, with the bigger top panel an establishment shot of an Oseram house (based on a house seen in the Horizon Hunters Gathering reveal trailer, the assumption being Erend will be stationed in there) during sunrise, the house still in shadow while the mountain behind is beginning to be illuminated by the dawn. The bottom panel shows a bare back view of Erend in the house, rising from his sleep and stretching with his arms held up. There's a bit of fan service in the way the back is rendered. ;) A smaller insert panel shows him reaching into a drawer, picking up one of his iconic orange striped shirts.
A five panel comic page. The top panel has Erend starting to slide on the shirt over his arms, him still drowsy and blinking away sleep. The middle section is a sequence of three insert panels in descending order, showing Erend jolting wide awake as a scent wafting off the shirt catches his attention, him staring at the shirt in disblief before raising it to his nose to take a deep inhale. A swirling line represnting te smell connects the three panels, starting as a thin whisp that expands and culimates into a cloud with vague heart shapes. It's Aloy scent, lingering in the fabric as she had previously worn this shirt. The bottom and final panel has Erend lovingly gazing at the shirt, with Aloy wearing it as well behind his back. She has her eyes closed, hugging herself with a soft smile, as she too takes in the aroma of Erend when she wore the very same shirt. She's tinged purple like a Focus hologram to show she's not physically there, but her presence is strongly felt. The background is a collage of their shared memories, representing iconic moments of them together. The Daunt, Meridian with a plume of smoke, Hidden Ember at night, and the Zenith Launch Facility with a bit outer space, stars and all, and two glowing dots representing the blue star Sirius and the angry red cloud that is Nemesis.
