Main comic, one panel: a smiling brown-haired woman named Cynthia stands behind a table in a purple room. In the foreground we see over the shoulder of the narrator, who holds up a mobile phone; its screen reads "TEXT: SIX MINUTES NOW." Caption beneath: "Cynthia attempts to ease me into the break-up." The joke is that she has texted him a countdown to being dumped while chatting pleasantly in person. Votey: a hand-drawn close-up of a smiling woman's face asking, "Any weekend plans?" — the casual small talk she keeps up while the break-up clock ticks.
