Panel 2. While the beast massages her head, Lydia sits astride his knees in the throes of ecstasy.
Lydia: Oh my god! How did you learn this?
Beast: Caring for my Violet. She would get such terrible head pains.
Lydia: Lucky girl!

Lydia: Basil wh-oo- OOOH!
Beast: Said he'd put her on the stage. Make a star out of her!
Panel 4. Lydia nestles into the beast's lap as her head massage continues.

Lydia: But you tried to get her back?
Beast: Aye, and he put a curse on me! Turned me into... this.
Panel 5. Close up of Lydia and the distressed beast as he fails to hold back a tear. He clutches Lydia's head tightly in his huge hands, as if for comfort.

Panel 6. The beast attempts to cover his face with his hands as Lydia, now seated beside him, clutches his right arm.

Beast: Man?
