ALT Panel 1: Profile view of Val looking at Audrey, slightly nervous about what he's going to suggest, and saying "So, you're going to ... help me clean?" Panel 2: Audrey shrugs, smiling and sticking his tongue out, and replies, "Nah, it'll just get dirty again." Val raises her arms in exclamation and says "That's what I'M saying!!" Panel 3: Closeup of Audrey's feet with a balled up piece of paper between laying on the ground between them. He's wearing socks that make his fit look like grey tabby cat feet, with a striped pattern and white end bits. He says "But there ARE reasons it's like this, Val. For example, this piece of paper next to my foot..." Panel 4: Closeup of Val's trash bin, overflowing with pieces of paper stained with snack crumbs, envelopes, red bags of chips, and green soda cans. Audrey's cartoon head is stamped in the foreground looking at it, saying "It's probably there because your trash bin is overflowing."
ALT Panel 5: Val crosses her arms and looks down at the ground as one of the many trash bags in her room looms behind her, saying "Well YEAH. I should take out the trash more often, but I'm too LAZY." Panel 6: Audrey exhales deeply, clearly exasperated, and says "And there you go calling yourself LAZY. Look, imagine there's a big tree in my yard ..." Panel 7: The scene changes to a simplified, lineless storybook style as Audrey looks at green, orange, and yellow autumn tree that is dropping leaves, which the ground is littered with. "The tree drops leaves on the ground in the fall," Audrey continues narrating. Panel 8: Continuing the storybook style, a leaf with a cartoonish "X"s for eyes and tongue out dead expression is laying on a blade of grass, which also has that "X"s for eyes and tongue out dead expression. "But leaves may kill the grass if I don't clean them up," continues Audrey.
ALT Panel 9: Audrey puts his hands behind his back and leans forward slightly, asking Val "So what do you think I do, Val" Panel 10: Shrugging slightly and looking away, Val guess "You get a rake and clean up the leaves?" Panel 11: Audrey points at her, smiling happily, and says "CLOSE!" Panel 12: Audrey pretends to hold an axe, which manifests to you, the viewer, as red energy, as the background turns into a black and red spiral and his smile turns maniacal. "I get an axe and chop down the tree," he says.
ALT Panel 13: Val goes wide-eyed and shivers with clenched teeth, sweating a bit, thinking "S-SCARY ..." Panel 14: Audrey smile innocently and waves his hands, as if the dispel the notion, and elaborates: "Okay, maybe that's an EXTREME example. But the point is, ya' gotta look at how things GET THERE, Val. You have to fix how a thing IS many times, but you only have to fix how it GOT there ONCE." Panel 15: Audrey points behind himself with his thumb as his eye sparkles and he says "I'm not gonna help ya' clean ... BUT ... Let's go to Ykea and get you a bigger trash bin." Panel 16: They're on the train coming back from Ykea, which is an Ikea parody. In the windows behind them, the sun is setting over the town. Val is holding a large black trash in her hands and between her knees, smiling and talking with Audrey as Audrey shows her something on her phone. The light of the setting sun bounces between the metal parts of the train and illuminates the scene in an orange glow.
ALT Panel 1: Val stumbles backwards, flailing her arms, as Audrey looks at her with a motherly smile, a beam of light literally emanating from his face like it's a spotlight. Panel 2: The light beam dissipates slightly as Val falls on her butt and crushes a few errant pizza boxes with a "CRK". Panel 3: Audrey continues smiling sweetly and says "Val, that black mold thing ... was a lie, wasn't it." Panel 4: Val begins panicking, flopping over from the pizza boxes onto her shins and stammering "I -- I was trying to buy time to CLEAN MY ROOM. B-but -- I couldn't even do THAT because --"
ALT Panel 5: The joy vanishes from Audrey's expression and is replaced with surprise as Val seemingly pauses speaking for a few seconds. Panel 6: Tears well in Val's eyes as she can no longer meet Audrey's gaze or hold her composure. She says "Because I'm a fuck-up. And you shouldn't be friends with me." Panel 7: Audrey squats down to touch her shoulder, saying "Val ..." Panel 8: Still crying but now with a frustrated, tense expression, having an outburst, Val says "Oh, WHAT, Audrey???" and raises her hands up to gesture towards him.
ALT Panel 9: Val, now standing on her knees and slightly exceeding Audrey's squating height, gestures back at her very messy room littered with mail, takeout bags, and cans, and says "You gonna tell me I'm not a GROSS LOSER?? Are you gonna look me in the eyes, in the middle of this DUMPSTER of a room, and DENY REALITY???" Panel 10: Audrey, looking bored now and looking away from Val, replies "Okay. You're a loser, Val." Panel 11: Val has her eyes wide and mouth agape. The background is totally white. She is shocked that he actually said it. Panel 12: Closeup of the part of Val's room with the now-crushed two pizza boxes. There is also a paper towel roll, a box from a delivery, an unopened envelope, two used paper towels, and a takeout bag there on the stained floor. Audrey continues to speak, saying "looking around here, there's no denying that you're LOSING."
ALT Panel 13: Closeup of Audrey's mouth from the side, as he says "But" Panel 14: Audrey puts his face close to Val's with a wide-eyed, intense expression, which she seems to match out of surprise. "What GAME are you playing, exactly?" he says, "On what DIFFICULTY?" Panel 15: Audrey's expression turns back to his usual one of compassion as he and Val look at each other and he says "Nobody is good at EVERYTHING, VAL. And we're all made to play games in life that aren't DESIGNED for us." Panel 16: Audrey puts his arms between his knees, still in squatted position, and puts his palms together. The sunlight from the window illuminates him in a warm glow and he winks, his one open eye glistening. "But I think we can find a way to beat this one. In co-op mode," he says "What do you say, girlie?"
