Template guide
Panel-by-panel breakdown
This template has no printed dialogue. The story is told entirely through the artwork, so each panel below is described from the image.
Panel 1
A cosy living room at night with city lights outside. One partner in a navy sweater and the other in a pink-red sweater sit at opposite ends of a beige sofa, arms folded, faces turned away.
Panel 2
Split panel: a corgi in a blue bandana brings a long pink bone toy to the navy-sweater partner, who rests a chin in one hand, then to the red-sweater partner, who looks down in surprise.
Panel 3
Both kneel on the rug face to face, each holding one end of the long toy, while the corgi sits between them with its tongue out, looking delighted.
Panel 4
The sofa cushions now form a pillow fort with plush toys inside. Both partners laugh with eyes closed and scratch the corgi's head together, little hearts floating above.

Questions about The Pause Button on Our Fight
Why a long toy?
Both people have to hold it at once, which physically pulls them together. Keep an object with two ends.
Do I need a corgi?
No. Any pet works; give it a bandana or a clear colour so it reads as the hero.
Can my two characters be any genders?
Yes. It is a two-character template; contrasting sweater colours keep them distinct.
