Chapter: Chapter 1: 2:45am

Panel 1: Daniel smiles hesitantly as he says, "...Sure, but I thought the point of you having me choose a restaurant to meet at was because you wanted to eat first."

Panel 2: The Chinese restaurant they're standing in front of has turned all its lights on in the fading daylight. William puts his hands on his hips as he says, "Cute. No, I just like to get a read on you Craigslist guys before we go somewhere private."

Panel 3: Daniel gestures towards the restaurant as he answers, "Then let me go tell the hostess they don't have to hold a table for us after all."

Panel 4: His hands still on his hips, William glances up at the Chinese restaurant sign. He says, "It's not your family's place?"

Panel 5: Daniel's smile is strained. He replies, dryly, "...No? This is just a place that's actually open today, since it's. You know. New Year’s Day."

Panel 6: William crosses his arms. He's frowning disdainfully as he answers, "If that's the case, then why bother? Just leave it."
