This is likely the start of a scene involving Redcloak torturing/interrogating/debating with O-Chul; this strip simply sets the scene and dispenses some information about the rift (that it's been growing and is still growing, albeit slower).

Note that in the big panel, there is a tower with a bunch of figures on it on the other side of the rift. My money says that next strip, Redcloak threatens to throw a human into the rift for every time O-Chul lies to him.
