Panel 1: Stef's voice finishes off-panel, "If he’s as good as you say he is, maybe he can save this sinking ship."

Back across town, Daniel slams back a shot with a 'gulp,' eyes shut tight and face slightly flushed.

Panel 2: Elena leans back, one hand on her hip as she muses, "I’ve let loose a monster. So? Ready to finish that story?" Daniel exhales with a quiet little, 'haa' before replying unsteadily, "Yeah."

Panel 3: Daniel looks off to the side as he grimaces slightly. He says, "I left off with the band...? We were just kids having fun, but then..."

Panel 4: "...A lot happened during my last year of high school." Daniel's hand fiddles with the empty shot glass.

Panel 5: Daniel in close-up looks towards the ground. "The band broke up after I left for college. Or at least… I thought it did. It’s weird to find out that it’s still going like nothing’s changed."

Panel 6: Daniel and Elena appear small now, all alone in the empty bar. Daniel's figure, seen from behind, continues, "I don't know. It’s weird. It’s all weird. But I guess, what’s the weirdest of all is that I can’t figure out if I'm relieved or terrified that it's all the same."
