[Image ID: A three page comic illustrating a lore entry from destiny 2: A tangled Web Chapter 1: Sparky and the Scrivener. Each page has a bottom border with the name of the lore entry of the left and the artist's blog handle on the right (a-sweeter-solarsystem). Crow is wearing the outfit he was first revived in: a brown cloak over his scale armor. Glint is a small red ghost with fins that look faintly like leaves. The two are talking in a dimly lit, rocky area that is illuminated by a campfire.

On the first page, Glint asks Crow, "Purely as a hypothetical exercise, what would you name me?" Crow looks thoughtfully down and replies, "Hm…You Are…A Light in the darkness." The second panel has Glint is in the center of the page that is popping out over the other panels. He is surrounded by white light and faint, motivational text ("Don't Worry! I'm right behind you!" / "I've got you, guardian!" / "One step at a time!"). Crow continues, "And thus, I name thee Sparky." Glint is drawn in monochrome with a shocked expression. The background pattern resembles a lightning strike.

On the second page Crow looks at Glint playfully and says, "I'm sensing some reluctance, Sparky." Glint is floating downward. There is wobbly text describing his disapproval following him. His eye has a tear in it. He drops onto the ground with a small dust cloud. He stays there for a moment then flops onto his back so that he can look back up at Crow. He looks annoyed and replies, "It's terrible." Crow watches the display and says, "Picky. Very well. I can do better."

On the third page Glint is thinking over Crow's suggestions. Crow says, "How do you feel about Gleam? Flash? Or maybe Glint?" Glint lights up and expands his shell. His eye is now rainbow in color as he is delighted by the suggestion. He says, "Ohhh! I like Glint!" Glint is now back in the air. Crow is shaking Glint's fin in the same way someone shakes hands in greeting. He says, "Then it is an honor to meet you, Master Glint."

There was something ingrained so deeply in Mebh that told her she had spent so many nights watching the stars just like this. But, simultaneously, those feelings weren't fond. They dug at an old wound she didn't know she had, and didn't know the source of. "Lookin' up at the stars like this always made me feel so sad." Poppy chirped curiously. Mebh continued, "Not...miserable I'd say..." she let her words sit in the air for a moment. "It's like the same kind of sadness as sayin' goodbye to a friend for the last time, where you know you aren't gonna see each other again." Poppy looked up at the stars. She recalled where she found Mebh, in the center of some great plane up north. The area was beautiful. It had stretched for miles, nothing but untouched, clean, land with patterns of mountains, forests, and plains Poppy had spent weeks searching through. But, it was empty. It was quiet. No human settlements for miles. Not even fallen had claimed territory there. For a moment, she had even thought that she was wandering in circles with the lack of structure there. She kept expecting to see some sort of golden age ruin or old camp long forgotten. But there was nothing. Just grass, rock, and trees. Mebh was found in the center of it, with nothing to even signal where she might came from or who she was. She had a broken rifle, some old clothes, and whatever armor Poppy had found before she left. Poppy lowered herself down to nuzzle against her guardian. Mebh was alone for so long. She was grateful that her guardian had all the friends she did now, but she always wondered how Mebh must've felt when she first opened her eyes. When she saw the bare world that she was revived into and didn't meet anyone like her for months. Mebh's hand reached up and stroked the rounded shell. She smiled, and cooed softly, "You lil' lovebug..."

[IMAGE ID: A short, two-shot animation of a human guardian talking to her ghost. The guardian is lying on a field of grass at night and is looking up at a sky of stars. The guardian is a hunter wearing gray and blue armor. She has tan skin, purple hair, bright blue eyes, and purple and teal makeup on. She appears older as well, with slight wrinkles on her face. Her ghost resembles a ladybug.

In the first shot, the camera is focused on her face. She looks thoughtful as she says, "Lookin' up at the stars like this always made me feel so sad."

In the second shot, we see the guardian from a farther angle. The field is more visible, and we can see her laying down more clearly. Her ghost floats down to look at her closer. The guardian turns her head slightly as she speaks, "Not in a miserable way…Just…like i'm sayin' goodbye to an old friend."
