Panel 1: Rose
and Radha are sitting on their couch. Radha is talking to the twins on
the phone. From the tone of the twin's voice, we can assume the one
speaking is probably Rebecca.
Rebecca [on the phone]: But we want to come home for Christmas!
Radha: I'm sorry, but it's just not a good idea.
Panel 2:
Rebecca [on the phone]: Why not?
Radha [looks sidelong at Rose]: Uh--
Panel 3: Rose pulls Radha's phone towards her.
Rose: It's because they...assume I'm a fragile little...fairy princess made...out of blown glass.
Panel 4:
Rose: To be fair, I also don't want the COVID.
Alex [launches herself across Rose's lap]: No one wants the COVID.
Rebecca [on the phone]: Aw.
Alt-Text:
Last Christmas Eve, I had dinner crammed in with something like twenty
other people just as I was coming down with strep throat. If I didn't
infect any of them, it was a Christmas miracle. The thought of
something like that happening this year is INCOMPREHENSIBLE.
