Mk 8:10a ... And 'immediately' stepping into the boat with his disciples, ...

Verse 10 has two phrases and 15 narrator words. The first phrase has these 10 words ... Kai euthus embas eis to ploion meta tōn mathētōn autou (And immediately stepping into the boat with the disciples of him, ...).

The 10 narrator words are top down. The word euthus, meaning "immediately," is the cue to use the previous diagram as a template. The circle around the empty 4000 square turns into "the boat" holding the twelve disciples in vesica mode. The word "ploion" (boat) is tangent to both boats. The last two words "mathētōn autou" (disciples of him) are tangent to Jesus and visually tangent to the twelve disciples. When Jesus steps down into the boat he is automatically in position to be "immediately" transported into the "sections."
