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
Split diagonally: on the left a man in a dark coat looks at his phone on a city street at night; on the right a woman with a bun in a cosy room holds her phone close to her mouth, smiling as she records. A glowing orange sound wave connects them.
Panel 1 (memories)
Along the wave sit four circular memories: the two under an umbrella in the rain, laughing with drinks, a playful moment together, and silhouettes watching a sunset.
Panel 2
Split again: he walks a dim alley past street lamps holding his earbud cable; she leans into a pillow with eyes closed, phone held near her mouth, the wave still between them.
Panel 3
Seen from behind, he reaches a small building with a lit door and window; the sound wave curls beside him and ends in a tiny glowing heart.
