Panel 1: Rose sits beside an unconscious Iz's hospital bed, stroking his white hair.
Panel 2:
Rose: I'm sorry. You don't deserve to be...I would rather you be awake and not my friend any more than...this.
Panel 3:
Rose: What happened to you, Iz?
Panel 4: Abruptly,
we go back nearly a year to a scene we have seen before:
Iz--black-haired, pre-weight loss, looking lost and bewildered--stands
in the park, holding his phone.
Caption: What Happened to Iz
Iz: Why aren't I sending it?
