Caption: Figure 5.

Fragmentation of the current layer in the transverse direction at t = 367. Enhanced zoom reveals further tearing in the transverse (horizontal) current sheet formed due to the mutual interaction (merging/coalescence) between the plasmoid and the loop arcade. Red and green lines are as in Figure 4.
