Panel 1: Andrew holds up the manuscript and photo, looking distraught, saying "What the fuck is all this??" Kara, wearing a black robe with her hair pulled back into a high ponytail, looks nonplussed. She replies, "Coffee?" as she holds two mugs.

Panel 2: She turns to Andrew and takes the story from him. "Well, this is a manuscript I'm translating."

Panel 3: Andrew furrows his brow and replies, "This is MY story." Kara, seemingly confused, answers, "... Okay?"

Panel 4: She looks at him and says, "I translate tons of stuff; why are you freaking out?"

Panel 5: He points and says, "Well, this photo!" Kara, still unfazed, says "Uh huh."

Panel 6: Kara takes the photo and looks at it closer. "Veronika? I know her from work." Then a pause, "Different work."

Panel 7: She continues, "We went out a couple times but now we're just friends..."

Panel 8: "I'm actually going to rent an apartment from her!"

Panel 9: Andrew, looking like he's no longer holding it together, cries out "WHAT?!" and Kara says, "You dated her too?"

Panel 10: Now he's very flustered: "NO! Veronika's like my sister! Like she was my foster sister. I live in her building!"
