Nao: “???”

on their cellphone, which is corded. The swirly cord divides the panel in half. Nao, on the right,
is depicted as a rotary phone.

realizing it’s just because they’re taking T so now I’m a certified transphobe fuck.”

cat that sits next to her.

“END.”
Nao lies down, kicking their feet and looking slightly exasperated.

Candle #1: “holy shit”
Candle #2: “who let these two sing?”
