PANEL 1
MIKI: YEAH.
MIKI: NOT ONLY WERE YOU COMPLETELY MENTAL, BUT YOU DIDN’T HEAL ALL THE WAY UP FROM WHAT KARL AND KIRK DID TO YOU. MAYBE BECAUSE YOU WERE FACE DOWN IN THE RIVER DURING THE HEALING PROCESS, I DON’T KNOW.
MIKI: SO YOU WERE CRAZY AND YOU HAD A FEW KINKED VEINS IN YOUR BRAIN.

PANEL 2
MIKI: MARK? WHY’D YOU CHOOSE THIS PLACE IN YOUR HEAD TO SIT?
MARK: YOU’D LAUGH AT ME IF I TOLD YOU.
MARK: ALL I EVER WANTED WAS FOR US TO BE SAFE, YOU KNOW.

PANEL 3
MIKI: I KNOW. HERE. REMEMBER THIS?
MARK: OH, GOD. THE CIDER WE USED TO DRINK.
MIKI: GUILT, MARK, MAKES YOU PARANOID. YOU TURNED PARANOIA INTO A LIFE. YOU ONLY WANTED US TO BE SAFE: BUT WHILE YOU WERE CRAZY ABOUT IT, NONE OF US WERE EVER SAFE.

PANEL 4
MIKI: WHY HERE, MARK?
MARK: WE HAD A DAY HERE. ARKADY WAS FLIRTING WITH CON AND HE WAS OBLIVIOUS. JACK AND SIRKKA TURNED UP LATE AND SMILING. WE ALL GOT DRUNK AND TALKED UNTIL DAWN.
MARK: IT WAS THE LAST TIME I REMEMBER BEING HAPPY.
