Panel 1: Taylor and Darrell continue down the sidewalk. Taylor, stunned by Darrell’s story: “Holy shit. I’m sorry.”
Darrell, head lowered so his hair covers his eyes: “Yeah.”
Panel 2: They continue to walk in stunned silence for a bit, reaching the end of the houses as they approach the 7-Eleven.
Panel 3: Taylor, with a tentative look toward Darrell: “So... lighter subject. What do you like to do? What’re your hobbies?”
Panel 4: Darrell looks up with a small grin, asking: “Are you chatting me up?”
Taylor, utterly confused: “What?”
Panel 5: Taylor realizes what Darrell’s asking and recoils, vehemently responding: “No!! No, just trying to be friendly!”
Panel 6: Taylor: “I mean, no offense but you’re like ten years younger than me.”
Darrell, still looking amused: “I’m just fucking with you.”
Panel 7: They approach the door to 7-Eleven and Darrell moves to open it, looking back at Taylor as he does. “By the way though, you might wanna think up an excuse in case someone asks why an old white guy is hanging out with a Fillipino teenager.”
Panel 8: Darrell goes inside as Taylor stands where he was, stammering: “I’m… I’m twenty-eight, that’s not old!”
