The fierce despondency of now
Re-Tread
Last time, things were looking very good for Nate and Rose, actually.
Today’s Comic
Now, it’s time to snap back to the present and see it all fall apart.








Is it too late to ask for a do-over?

NARRATION: Now
(In Nate's darkened room, we see both Nate and Rose nude from the waist up. Rose appears enraged and is gesturing incredulously as she stands above Nate.)
Rose: "Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME?"
Nate (looking away): "...no."
(Rose looks shocked and hurt)
(Rose from behind pulling panties back on)
Rose (hand on the doorknob, fully dressed except for her purple button-up shirt, glaring at Nate): This is messed up.
Nate (looking down solemnly): I know.
(The door shuts behind Rose with a CLACK)
(Nate sits alone and naked on top of his sleeping bag in the dark and mostly empty room)
Nate: "...shit."
