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 circular frame on a rainy riverside walkway. A man in a navy suit with a work bag holds his navy umbrella out over a woman in a beige coat, who clasps her hands and looks up at him gratefully.
Panel 2
Without an umbrella, the same man kneels on the wet pavement gathering spilled groceries from a torn paper bag: tomatoes, greens and fruit roll across the ground. A broken umbrella lies on its side nearby and a car passes in the rain.
Panel 3
A young man in a beige sweater with a messenger bag leans down and tilts a clear umbrella over him; the kneeling man looks up, holding a tomato.
Panel 4
Another circular frame, now in warm golden light. The stranger crouches beside him holding a navy umbrella over both of them as he hugs the refilled grocery bag, and both smile.

Questions about Kindness Comes Back Around
Why are the first and last panels circular?
The round frames mark the giving and the receiving, so readers link them as one loop.
Is there text in the image?
No. The umbrella passing between people tells the story.
How many characters do I need?
Three appear, but the template is cast for two; the woman in panel 1 can stay an unnamed extra.
