Panel 1: We
have returned to Universe B in 2023. Rose opens her apartment door to
Jennifer and Weird Beard. Jennifer buzzes right into the apartment.
Rose: Hi, g--
Jennifer: We think you're right about the two universes.
Panel 2: Rose,
a world-weary expression on her face, starts speaking for an imaginary
version of Jennifer who responds to ordinary social situations in a
less Jennifer-like way.
Rose [as Jennifer]: "Hi, Rose. It's so nice to see you after a month of radio silence."
Jennifer: The...event has to have created the second universe, though we're not sure how.
Panel 3:
Rose [as Jennifer]: "Are you worried about starting your new job? How are you doing with the whole Iz situation?"
Jennifer: We've come up with some worrying data. We'd like your opinion.
Panel 4: Weird Beard smiles knowingly as Rose flings out her arms.
Rose [as Jennifer]: "What a nice apartment you are living in."
Jennifer: I hope you're ready to talk about science for hours.
Alt-Text:
Jennifer is brilliant, but she can concentrate on only one thing
at a time. Rose, whose brain is basically an abstract painting, does
not get that.
