Panel 1: Jillian and Rosalyn turn to go. Jillian tells Taylor with a wave: “Alright, we’re heading out. Don’t drink too much, you two.”

Taylor: “Have fun!”

Panel 2: Taylor turns back towards Darrell, whose face is turned down and obscured. Taylor: “You don’t have to hang out if you don’t want to, I just wanted to give you a surpri--”

Panel 3: Under the shade of his hair, there are tears in Darrell’s eyes. Taylor interrupts himself as he notices. “Oh--”

Panel 4: Taylor takes a step back and raises his hands in sudden panic: “Oh jeez, sorry, you okay?” Darrell waves him off as he wipes his face with his other hand: “I’m-- I’m fine. It’s fine. I just wasn’t expecting this.”

Panel 5: Darrell doesn’t seem fine. He still won’t look at Taylor, but says: “You’re… a really nice guy, you know that?”

Panel 6: Taylor looks embarrassed. “Well, I try to be friendly.”

Panel 7: Taylor: “Besides, everything’s changed for both of us, so I figure we should at least try to get along.”

Darrell finally looks over at him: “Yeah, you’re right.”

Panel 8: Darrell manages to muster up a smile. “Um, I got a Switch recently, if you wanted to play Mario Kart.”

Panel 9: Taylor smiles back, relieved. “I would fuckin’ love some Mario Kart.”
