Doing one page a week means you have to go back to figure out how you drew a room six months ago because it’s only been twelve hours in comic time…

TRANSCRIPT
Panels 1 and 2 (Alex and Imogen hugging)
Imogen: What am I going to do? What will I tell the boys?
Alex: We’ll figure it out after school. Just don’t go back there alone.
Panel 3 (Alex picks something off of the side table in the foyer)
Alex: Here.
Panel 4 (textless; Imogen’s hands as she holds a set of keys with an I (HEART) GOLF keychain)
Panel 5 (Imogen, close-up)
Imogen: Alex… thank you… f-for everything. I don’t know what I would have done without you.
Panel 6 (Alex, close-up; behind her is a box labelled ‘stuff for Eris’ sssh sssh don’t worry about it)
Alex: You’re not going to find out. Promise.
Panel 7 (textless; Imogen startles as her duffel bag begins to vibrate)
I wonder who’s calling her. Could be Jonathan launching abuse at her, though I suppose that’s not the only possibility.
He could have also called the police to report her kidnapped, OR it could be the boys calling to ask why Jonathon is trying to take them out of school early.
DO. NOT. ANSWER. THE. PHONE. IMOGEN.
Also, that was a lovely unconditional promise from Alex that Imogen won’t have to find out what going it alone is like. Sounds like a forever kind of promise 😏😘
