Panel 1: We
are in Universe B. Rose is at work. She is sitting at a table with
Charlie, the twelve-year-old girl she has been working with. A laptop
is open in front of them. Charlie is in a wheelchair, and due to a
traumatic brain injury, she speaks slowly, with pauses between the
words.
Charlie: Are you......sad...today?
Rose: Sorry about that.
Panel 2:
Rose: It's my friend Iz. I've told you about him. He's hanging on, but only just.
Charlie: ......Sorry.
Panel 3:
Rose: Wouldn't it be great if bad things stopped happening to good people?
Charlie: Need......magic spell...for...that.
Panel 4: Rose digs in a pocket.
Rose: I don't seem to have any of those in my pocket.
Charlie [smiles]: Oh no.
Alt-Text: I keep my magic spells in my socks.
