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
At sunset a man in a navy T-shirt and a woman with a bun carry boxes in from the balcony; stacks of boxes fill the room.
Panel 2
He pulls a single bowl from an open box while she checks an empty wardrobe.
Panel 3
She touches her chin, thinking, while he searches the kitchen cupboards.
Panel 4
In the bare living room they both scratch their heads beside an open box.
Panel 5
Two small panels: four hands press the box flaps shut, then the box sits upside down as a table with a little sparkle.
Panel 6
At night they sit on the floor either side of the box, eating takeout with chopsticks around a glowing lantern.
