Panel 2: Aleph looks down and says “I just…I need to figure myself out before I dive into this stuff, you know? Like, gender-wise…”

Panel 3: Rho, resting his hands on his knees, turns to Aleph and says “Wait, do you mean–uh–how should I—”

Panel 4: Aleph looks away, smiling nervously, and says “Uhm…’they’ is fine…”

Panel 5: Rho (off panel) says “Okay!”. Aleph’s still looking away, now with a little smile on their face.
