TRANSCRIPT
Panel 1 (a conversation over text; Imogen sighs in the background)
Imogen: hi sweetie, sorry to bother you at work, but what’s the password for the bank account?
Imogen: I want to check something
Jonathan: What’s up? I can do that for you.
Imogen: no let me do it! 🙂 I tried to put my middle name in like the hint said but I couldn’t get it to work!!
Panel 2 (textless; Imogen sits at the laptop and wait in silence)
Panel 3 (textless; Imogen looks over as her phone buzzes on the table)
Panel 4 (text conversation; no background)
Jonathan: Come on, my passwords are stronger than that 🙂
Jonathan: It’s 3!izaB3th2201
Imogen: oh yeah that makes sense! duh! haha thank you!!
Bet – Jonathan went in and fixed up the account/changed the password.
lol you know he did ……
Degrading her intelligence, and a long time to respond to that password? Things are building up and then sheep is gonna hit the fan.
That “family” word art in the kitchen is looming like a monster in a slasher flick. “Remember why you’re doing this, Imogen… Ignore your red flags, Imogen, for the sake of the family…”
Yes! So ominous!!
SOB changed the password. He’s not fooling me.
Just the fact that she didn’t have access to the account that seems to be where all their household payments come from sets up red flags considering that whatever the hell he’s doing with the money, it’s directly impacting the household finances negatively, and one partner being kept in the dark about the state of the family budget is bad.
Like, I could buy that maybe he just couldn’t send the password right away, or something, but this guy’s at the bare minimum screwing with something that could endanger them having a roof over their heads…
What is he hiding, I’m so intrigued, Imogen deserves better
This chapter is giving me so much anxiety haha. Well done!
Do I get the sensation of time passing in between panels? She’s likely to believe him, and assume he was just caught up at work and couldn’t answer straight away, but I’d absolutely guarantee he changed the password in the wait.
bro
he just changed it lollllll
Will we find out he put all of their savings in DOGE and now they’re totally insolvent
rofl
I know that Imogen’s said that she hates doing bank stuff, but come on. What kind of moron uses their mistress’ middle name as a password? It’s like he’s an unfathomably thoughtless jerk or something.
