A samurai-era comic. In a traditional Japanese room, a man (Hiroki) kneels in the foreground with a pained, worried look. Behind him, another man rushes in through a doorway waving a paper and shouting, "Hiroki-san, look! Sakura says she loves you after all!" The caption reads: "Unfortunate Truth #26: There's no such thing as half-seppuku." The implication is that Hiroki has already begun ritual suicide over unrequited love, too late to undo. Votey: a rough sketch close-up of Hiroki's distressed face as he pleads, "Do-over! Do-over!"
