Panel 1: Sara sits alone in a diner booth, with the real estate section of a newspaper on the table. She has a cup of tea in a glass mug next to her and she's circling some of the listings in the paper. "I spent the day in a diner next to William's office. Moving out of the 'weird neighborhood' wouldn't be an easy task."

Panel 2: A close-up of the tea and her pen. "I hadn't had to look in a while."

Panel 3: Floating words and phrases from real estate listings, including "utilities not included / Bensonhurst / $1300 / Maspeth / $1200 / Gravesend / $1580 / ten minutes to trains + buses / Sunset Park / $850." "Most places could be ruled out due to cost alone."

Panel 4: A circled ad for a studio in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, for $750. "Hello, I'm calling about the apartment?" "Already rented!"

Panel 5: A circled ad for an $800 studio in Lindenwood [this is the neighborhood she currently lives in; is she already getting desperate?]. "Hi, I'm call--" followed by a *click* as the person hangs up on her.

Panel 6: Another circled ad for a $600 apartment in what looks appears to be an abbreviation for South Park Slope. It touts having a separate kitchen and utilities included. "I only set up one appointment."
