Past Iz: Well...all right.
Panel 2:
Past Iz: You just have to remember that things probably aren't as bad as you think they are.
Panel 3: This completely breaks Rose, who dissolves into tears.
Rose: Oh my God.
Panel 4:
Rose: Please kick someone in the kneecap so I can pretend you're a terrible person.
