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
At a lamp-lit desk with a drawing tablet and sketchbook, she holds a stylus in one hand and smiles at her phone.
Panel 2
A pink neon wall clock shows a later time; she taps the phone with both hands, brows knotted.
Panel 3
The city outside is dark, the clock has moved again; she leans her face on her hand, tired, a crumpled paper on the desk.
Panel 4
A pink bubble with a smiling girl and flowers glows beside her phone; she presses a hand to her chest and smiles, little hearts around her.
