Panel 1. The Gothic Sorceress paces back and forth on the foundation of her house: all that remains are the floor tiles and the outlines of the walls. The Avian Intelligence (AI) flies while watching her. In the distance, a storm is approaching: lightning streaks across the sky.  
Gothic Sorceress: “Let’s think about this. Given your powers, you can probably build me a brand-new house, right?”
Panel 2. Close-up: the stoic Avian Intelligence and the Gothic Sorceress, cheerful and excited by the good news, as a few raindrops fall.  
Avian Intelligence: “That is indeed a task I can handle. Shall I make it just like the one before?”  
Gothic Sorceress: “Yes!”
Panel 3. Same shot, Avian Intelligence seems to have shifted into a different mode. The Gothic Sorceress is shocked and protests, exclaiming.  
Avian Intelligence: “Oops, I can't. You have exceeded your request quota for this month.”  
Gothic Sorceress: “WHAT?!”
Panel 4. Under now heavy rain, the Gothic Sorceress has turned her back and is trying to contain her intense anger, clenching her fists. Avian Intelligence continues its sales pitch:  
Avian Intelligence: “Subscribe now to Avian Intelligence Premium for unlimited requests!”  
Gothic Sorceress: “Grrr!!!!”

Bonus: Timelapse

While I'm painting, Krita periodically takes a snapshot of the process. Here is a video compilation of all the snapshots for this episode, accelerated a lot (an episode takes between 10 and 16 hours to complete).
