In the panel on page 150, Pedro friends and family are coming to visit him, his life support has been withdrawn and he is in his last few days of life. We know this because Judd gives a description of Pedro as he's dying, he says he looked like a dying man, his eyes are bloodshot, his skin is pulled back, and he has lost a lot of weight. This panel represent the final decline of Pedro's health, in the panels before this, Pedro was in the hospital graudally getting weaker, but still aware of his surroundings, but in this final panel we see just a blank silhouette ot Pedro, the use of white symbolizes that Pedro is at peace with himself. Even though Judd wrote how the world would view him, Judd uses white to represent the way Pedro viewed himself. That Pedro didn't look like what everyone thought he did. The black represents the loss or sadness around him. The positon of Pedro's head is drawn represents that he was dying or died with a lot of pride, with his head raised high. The outline of Pedro made Pedro seem like he was healthy and without illness.
