Panel 1:
A man with short hair, his face contorted in anguish, screams while reaching toward the viewer with one hand. In his other hand he clutches a piece of paper, which is held upside-down and reads (reversed): "NOTE TO SELF: DON'T KILL STEVE." A bloody axe lies on the ground behind him.
Man: WHAT HAVE I DONE!?

Votey:
A close-up of the same man, now smiling, holding up one finger as if making a point.
Man: IF ONLY I'D USED Post-it Notes™!

A distraught man screams "WHAT HAVE I DONE!?" while reaching toward the viewer. He holds an upside-down note reading "NOTE TO SELF: DON'T KILL STEVE," and a bloody axe lies on the ground behind him — implying he failed to read his own reminder in time and killed Steve. Votey: a close-up of the same man, now cheerfully holding up a finger and saying, "IF ONLY I'D USED Post-it Notes™!", as if a stickier note would have prevented the murder.
