Panel 1
Inside the elevator. They're still fairly high up – outside background is darker towards the top of the frame and lighter towards the bottom. We can't see any horizon.  Drenkowski and the brothers are standing lightly on their feet, enjoying the scenery below them.

Panel 2
Same shot. Drenkowski is standing more solidly. They are low enough now so that some clouds can be seen above horizon in the background. The horizon itself is still lower than it “ought” to be and strongly curved. The brothers are standing normally and they use the hand-rail to steady themselves. They look at one another in consternation.

Panel 3
Same shot. Drenkowski is looking bemusedly at the brothers, who are looking decidedly uncomfortable as they struggle to remain standing. Horizon is has just a very slight curve.
