Panel 1
Milan (soberly): I lied about petrifying Grom, and tricked you into helping me.

Panel 2
(Ayzee is looking bewildered at Milan, who is mostly out of frame)
Milan: I should have told you beforehand, and-

Ayzee (off-panel, interrupting): What? No! It’s all my fault!
(Milan stops and looks to her side)

Panel 4
Ayzee (turning and throwing her hands up in frustration): I should be the one apologizing! Aargh!

Panel 1
(Ayzee turns back around and waves her hand at herself, insistently)
Ayzee: Look, I ruined your life!

Panel 2
Milan (straight-faced): It’s just a curse. Chill.

Panel 3
Milan (questioning): Also, how’s that your fault?

Panel 4
(Ayzee is looking at Milan in puzzlement)
Milan: I was the one who decided to use the pain sharing spell.

Panel 1
Milan (blushing in embarassment, with her hand over her mouth): Hehehehe- I guess?

Panel 4
(Ayzee shoves her face into Milan’s, interrupting her)

Panel 6
(Close in on just the girls’ faces as they kiss. Their eyes are softly closed)

Black Voice (V.O.): Surprise, surprise.

Panel 1
(Wider shot of Milan and Ayzee kissing. Ayzee’s posture is tenser, and her eyes are squeezed tightly shut)
Black Voice (V.O.): You messed up, again.
Black Voice (V.O.): What makes you think it’ll be different next time?

Panel 2
(Close in on Ayzee’s face, on the far side of the frame)
Black Voice (V.O.): You can’t do anything right.

Panel 3
(Closer still in on Ayzee’s closed eyes. A tear is beginning to fall)
Black Voice (V.O.): You will always be nothing,

Panel 4
(Fade to black)
Black Voice (V.O.): …but a disaster.
