A six-panel SMBC comic. A bearded man is breaking up with a man who wears round glasses. Panel 1, the bearded man says, "I'm sorry, it's just not working for me. You're a wonderful person but we're incompa—" Panel 2, the glasses man interrupts, wide-eyed: "No! Stop it!" Panel 3, he pleads, "Don't do it! I need opensure!" The bearded man replies, "You mean closure." Panel 4, the glasses man, frantic, says, "No! Opensure! I want to cling awkwardly to you, obsessing over my unresolved emotions, never moving on, growing, or accepting anything!" Panel 5, the bearded man, deadpan: "Huh. Why weren't you this honest or self-aware when we were together?" Panel 6, the glasses man brightens and gestures: "There we are! That's the right direction!" Votey (aftercomic): the glasses man adds, "Look I'm gonna be camped on your lawn one way or the other so you might as well gimme a good reason," while the bearded man's face stares back with a flat, unimpressed expression.
