Panel 1: The record store. Rho’s wearing his work uniform and sorting through some records with a blank expression.

Panel 2: Aleph shows up suddenly and says “Hi Rho!”. Rho is noticeably startled.

Panels 3 to 5: A sequence of three panels, each a close-up of Rho’s face as he gets progressively more and more nervous. The background of each panel gets darker as well. Through these panels, Rho says “Are you—talking—to me?”

Panel 6: Aleph looking at Rho with an amused expression. She says “Did you really think I wouldn’t talk to you just because you like that horrible band?”. Rho, with a neutral, serious face, says “I would do that.”
