This silent story is about a peasant girl in Spanish-dominated Central America running across a glowing sphere and being martyred because the Catholic priests were a little freaked out and over-reacted. What I don’t understand is why she’s going to find water without any clothes on. She’s wearing clothes later in the story – this first page just feels like an excuse to draw a naked woman and doesn’t materially add to the story in any discernable way.
