Mk 4:38c ... "Teacher, not does-it-matter to-you that we-are-perishing?"

The 4th and 5th phrases have these 6 dialog words ... Didaskale, ou melei soi hoti apollumetha ("Teacher, not does-it-matter to-you that we-are-perishing")?

The 6 dialog words are bottom up. The 2 words "Didaskale, and soi" (Teacher, to you) are both tangent to Jesus. The 2 words "hoti apollumetha" (that we are perishing) are tangent to the one disciple with his head still above water speaking for the eleven disciples who have temporarily "perished" from sight under the water. The gospel text for the last two diagrams was purposely composed to fill the boat with one disciple and 6 words.
