PAGE TWO

Panel 1. In Starr Ramone’s empty apartment, she and Kenji Davenport talk at a table in the kitchen. Starr says, “…she brought me back to life –and she saved my vision by giving me new eyes– but I was never the same. I could never go back to the industry that failed to protect me. I had to find a way to fight against it.”

Panel 2. Kenji smiles slightly. He says, “Oddly enough, I felt the same. Music had let me down.”

Panel 3. Starr listens intently. Kenji finishes his thought, saying, “It let us all down.”
