Christmas Header: Rose
and Future Rose stand on opposite sides of the header. Each holds the
end of a string of Christmas lights, which are tangled into the shape
of letters: "It Never Rains by Kari Maaren."
Panel 1: In
Rose's family's living room, Claudia, Radha, Denise, and Alex are
decorating a Christmas tree. Rose, using a cane, and future Rose, who
has a white cane with her, approach.
Rose: Hi, everybody. Meet...me from the future. She's here for Christmas, but...she won't tell me why.
Panel 2: Rose leaves as everyone stares at her.
Rose: Grumble grumble grumble
Panel 3: The whole family gazes after Rose. Claudia and Radha exchange glances.
Rose [from off panel]: Grumble grumble grumble
Panel 4:
Claudia: Is she saying "Grumble grumble grumble"?
Future Rose: It's what I would do.
Rose [yelling from off panel]: WE KNOW!
Alt-Text:
Why grumble with actual words when just saying "grumble" is so satisfying?
