A four-panel comic. Panel 1: a man with orange hair grips another man by the shoulders, shouting twice, "Why can't you love yourself?" Panel 2: a dark-haired woman gently replies, "But... we're sitting here together. If you consider myself to be yourself, then we are being one." Panel 3: the orange-haired man, now tearful, says, "I thought you'd never realize." Panel 4: the two embrace and kiss wordlessly, the confrontation resolved into tenderness. Votey (bonus panel): a simple figure says in a speech bubble, "Can I still have your lunch money?" -- undercutting the romantic moment by revealing a mundane ulterior motive.
