Description
Panel One: Still at the window, except Cal is standing now, and turning as though to leave. He sighs, and says, "This is nice, but I gotta study." DJ looks sad, his eyes on their hands. They're very close, but not touching. "Right, the anatomy test," he says.
Panel Two: DJ is at hsi desk, pulling out his chair, still crestfallen. SFX: ~~Draaag~~ HE thinks to himself, "Ugh, I'm so sick of this..."
Panel Three: DJ slumps in his chair, and sighs. The background look gloomy as he thinks, "Every day, just study, study, stu-""Hey, DJ?" Cal interrupts his toughts.
Panel Four: Cal is kneeling by his records in his half of the bookshelf between the windows. He's looking over his shoulder towards DJ as he flips through them. "Mind if I put on some study music?" he asks. From off-panel, DJ says, "Go right ahead."
Panel Five: Extreme closeup POV view of Cal's face and hand, as though the reader is looking out from between the records. Cal is looking to the side, towards DJ, who is still off-panel. They're having a conversation and Cal is surrounded by speech bubbles. "Can I put on something else besides Classical?" asks Cal. "Please," says DJ, "I don't really like it." "You don't?" "Well, I do, it's just... That's all I know," DJ explains. Cal looks surprised. "Really?" "Yeah," DJ says, "That's all dad listens to, and that's what they play in Cotillion."
Panel Six: Cal's hand pulling a record from the shelf. "Well, in that case..." he says. The cover looks very late 90's, early 2000s's techno/eletronica styled, with the title "Lost Data" in grungy typewriter font.
Author Note
Cal's about to hit DJ's ears with a sonic BRICK.
In personal news, my wife Evie is back from her surgery! She's been gone for a week, so I've been holding down the fort while she's gone and making sure everything was all set for her return. She's doing great, and we're all happy to have her back! ^_^
