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 party with string lights and a disco ball. A woman in a teal shirt and tote bag waves as she walks in; a green battery icon beside her is fully charged.
Panel 2
She is talking with several friends, cup in hand. Music notes and a mirror ball fill the air, and the battery shows two of five bars.
Panel 3
Crowded by laughing faces and jagged speech shapes, she hunches over her cup with a worried look; the battery is empty except for a thin red line.
Panel 4
A cosy room with a warm lamp and fairy lights. She sits on a sofa with eyes closed, holding a mug, a grey cat asleep on her lap, and the battery is full and glowing.

Who this template suits
This template suits introverts, homebodies and anyone who loves their friends but needs quiet afterwards. The battery icon does all the explaining, so the four panels need no text. It fits mental-wellness, introvert-humour and cosy lifestyle accounts.
When it is not a good fit
It is not ideal for stories where the party itself is the fun part, or for plots that need conversation.
How to remix Social Battery at Zero
- 1Keep the battery icon in the top-left of every panel and drain it step by step.
- 2Show your character getting physically smaller as the crowd closes in.
- 3End somewhere quiet and warm with whatever recharges your character.
Ways to make it your own
Change the drain
Use a work conference, a family reunion or a long video call instead of the party.
Change the charger
Replace the cat with a book, a bath, a game controller or a plant, whatever recharges your character.
Make it two characters
Give an extrovert friend a battery that keeps rising in the same panels as a contrast.
Questions about Social Battery at Zero
Why is the battery icon important?
It turns an invisible feeling into a meter readers can follow at a glance. Keep it in the same corner of every panel.
Does the last panel need a cat?
No. Any quiet comfort works, but something soft and alive makes the recharge feel warm.
Can I keep the purple palette?
Yes. The party scenes use purple and blue, and the home panel switches to warm lamp light, which helps the contrast.
