The story goes on to narrate a macabre tale. Of those who have seen ‘those furry things’, no one has survived (except the market beggar, once). Banerjee’s double-page illustration depicts the body parts and personal items of the victims who were unfortunate enough to encounter ‘those furry things’. On the right-hand page, a grouping of four uniform panels in grey and black inks display the remnants of the victims: a woman’s sandal, an ear, a hand and a ring set with a gemstone. Each object ‘speaks’ its fatal mistake via a speech balloon; all claim everyday, feasible reasons for being out on the street after midnight (when the gates of the compound are systematically locked). The items and body parts are referred to as being the TFTs (Those Furry Things) ‘after-party trail of clues’ (2011, 113) (see Fig. 3.10).
