Panel 1: In 2011, Rose sits on a park bench and stares at the past versions of Iz, Tim, and Josh, who are off panel.
Rose [thinks]: Iz...
Panel 2: Rose begins to cry.
Rose [thinks]: I...I could talk to him. I could warn him to stay away from me. If he did, he wouldn't...he wouldn't...
Panel 3: Rose buries her head in her hands.
Rose [thinks]: No. It's all fated. That's the prolem. It's all fated, and I can't stop it, and Iz...
Panel 4: Twelve-year-old Iz stands beside the bench and looks down at Rose.
Past Iz: Are you okay, lady?
Rose: I have a ferret in my eye.
Past Iz: No.
Alt-Text: If she had a ferret in her eye, there would be more panicked screaming.
