Panel 1:
A man (with brown hair, in a blue shirt) appears, looking alarmed, holding up a yellow sign. He speaks to a woman with orange hair (in a green shirt).
Man: AAAH! YOU'RE NOT BREATHING! HOW ARE YOU ALIVE?
The yellow sign reads: YOU DIDN'T KEEP YOUR ROOM TIDY, AND IT KILLED ME. NOW I WALK THE EARTH, ETERNALLY TRYING TO PUT RIGHT YOUR MISTAKE. IF ONLY YOU COULD NEATEN UP BEFORE GRANDMA VISITS, I MIGHT RETURN TO LIFE.
Panel 2 (red banner reading "EARLIER..."):
A scene in a lab. A woman with long dark hair (in a yellow shirt, wearing glasses) stands excitedly. The brown-haired man (in a blue shirt) walks away looking at a phone.
Woman: WE'VE DONE IT! A WAY TO INTRAVENOUSLY INJECT OXYGEN!
Man: I'LL BE RIGHT BACK...
Votey:
The dark-haired woman, mid-sentence, looking confused as the man has vanished.
Woman: THIS'LL HAVE SO MANY MEDICAL APPLIC— HEY, WHERE'D YOU GO?

A two-panel comic. Panel 1: A brown-haired man in a blue shirt looks alarmed and holds up a yellow sign while shouting at an orange-haired woman in a green shirt: "AAAH! YOU'RE NOT BREATHING! HOW ARE YOU ALIVE?" The yellow sign reads: "You didn't keep your room tidy, and it killed me. Now I walk the earth, eternally trying to put right your mistake. If only you could neaten up before Grandma visits, I might return to life." Panel 2, under a red banner labeled "EARLIER...": In a lab, a dark-haired woman in a yellow shirt and glasses says excitedly, "We've done it! A way to intravenously inject oxygen!" The same man is already walking away staring at his phone, saying, "I'll be right back..." — implying he later used the injection to fake his death and haunt someone into cleaning their room. Votey: The dark-haired woman, looking confused, says: "This'll have so many medical applic— hey, where'd you go?" as the man has already vanished.
