The fierce despondency of now

Re-Tread

Last time, things were looking very good for Nate and Rose, actually.

Today's Comic

NARRATION: Now

(In Nate's darkened room, we see both Nate and Rose nude from the waist up. Rose appears enraged and is gesturing incredulously as she stands above Nate.)
Rose: "Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME?"

Nate (looking away): "...no."

(Rose looks shocked and hurt)

(Rose from behind pulling panties back on)

Rose (hand on the doorknob, fully dressed except for her purple button-up shirt, glaring at Nate): This is messed up.

Nate (looking down solemnly): I know.

(The door shuts behind Rose with a CLACK)

(Nate sits nude and alone on top of his sleeping bag in the dark and mostly empty room)
Nate: "...shit."
