“Come on...”
Panel 6:The trash can is now several feet in the air, Alex grinning with a mix of awe and sheer effort.
“I did it!”

Panel 7:Alex's face contorts in alarm as he loses focus, and the trash can suddenly zips erratically and uncontrollably through the alley.
“Oh no!”
Panel 8:The trash can smashes through a nearby convenience store window, glass shattering outwards, as a shocked store owner rushes out.
“My window!”
Panel 9:Alex stands frozen, horrified and guilt-ridden, amidst the broken glass and spilled trash, as the store owner glares at him.

Panel 10:Alex walks away from the scene, glancing back at the damage, a determined and serious expression replacing his horror.
Panel 11:Alex walks purposefully down a bustling city street, his posture more confident, yet still somber, lost in thought.
“This power... I have to control it.”
Panel 12:Close-up on Alex's face, a resolute and serious expression, a subtle spark of heroic resolve in his eyes.
“And use it right.”
