Page 1: Captioned, “In another (finale promo) universe…” Pomni, Ragatha, Gangle, and Zooble say good night to Kinger as he enters his pillow fort. He has a popcorn button on his head.

Page 2: The group splits off in the hallway, bidding each other good night. As Pomni reaches her room, Jax quietly steps out of his. “So, how was it?” “Oh, the movie?” Pomni turns, leaning against her door. “It was good! A little bittersweet, but I still really liked it.” Jax mirrors her, arms crossed. “Hm.” “We all hung out on the lawn afterwards, talking about it.” “Sounds like a fun time.” “It was.”

Page 3: “…We saved you a seat.” Earlier, Jax scowls alone under a dark lamppost. The others watch the movie with one empty chair. Pomni looks back. “In case you came by.” Back in the hallway, Jax smirks. “Just dying to hear my colorful commentary, huh?” “Yeah,” Pomni answers. “I was.” Jax has no response. Pomni turns back to her door with a smile. “Maybe next time.” As she goes to open it, Jax says, “Y’know…”

Page 4: “There’s an entire movie theater in one of these rooms. If you… wanted to…” he trails off, then perks up at Pomni’s, “Sure.” She gives a thumbs up. “I wouldn’t mind watching it again.” “It wouldn’t be too boring?” “Nah. I like catching what I missed the first time.” She smiles. “Good night.” Jax doesn’t look at her, but replies, “…Night.”

Page 5: In the movie theater, Pomni looks at a teary-eyed Jax as she takes a sip of his drink. “Are you crying?” “NO!”
