[BEFORE PANEL 1/BEHIND ALL PANELS]
SERA: Oh, is that today?? Aw, honey, I'm so proud of you! It feels like just y-
The text is covered up behind the following panels, but Sera continues talking, with her dialogue covering up the entire background of the page behind all panels.

[PANEL 1]
Aerial shot of Rhapsody putting her briefcase into the trunk of her car, a blue sedan. No dialogue.

[PANEL 2]
Rhapsody in the driver's seat of her car, clicking in her seatbelt.

[PANEL 3]
Close-up of Rhapsody's face as she notices something while looking down at the passenger seat. No dialogue.

[PANEL 4]
View of the passenger seat from Rhapsody's perspective. A jumbled pile of CDs lay in the seat. No dialogue.

[PANEL 5]
Another shot of Rhapsody looking down at the seat, this time looking up at her from the perspective of the CDs. Rhapsody's eyes are still wide open. No dialogue.

[PANEL 6]
A close-up of one of the CDs in the middle of the pile, a CD-R with words written in sharpie: "TONEDEAF! jam sessions >:3" No dialogue.

[PANEL 7]
A close-up of Rhapsody's face from the same lower angle as panel 5, but now she looks angry or frustrated.
RHAPSODY: ...

[PANEL 8]
SERA (FADING IN, TEXT STILL BEHIND PANELS): ...and now you've been there for a whole year and-
RHAPSODY (INTERRUPTING): Three years.
SERA: -What?
RHAPSODY: I've been working there for three years, now. As of August.
SERA: Oh geez, my bad! Sorry-
Sera's dialogue continues off the page and behind the remaining panels, fading into the background. Rhapsody looks out her driver's side window with an irritated expression as she reaches her right hand over.

[PANEL 9]
A close-up of the CDs again, with Rhapsody's hand pushing the "TONEDEAF! jam sessions" CD to be fully obscured under a neighboring CD. No dialogue.

[BEHIND ALL PANELS, CONT.]
Below panels 8 and 9, some of the background dialogue Sera is saying is legible.
SERA: ...were talking recently about how the house needs some repairs. Can you b...
...how much work a house needs? Like, you would think that it would mostly...
...a thing you buy once and that's it, but no! It needs so much maintenance...

[PANEL 1]
Rhapsody's blue sedan drives through a security gate into a parking lot, with a big sign placed in the grass reading "TECH SUMMIT TODAY." In the background, a security guard reads a newspaper titled "Michilina Times" in the parking security booth.
SERA (THROUGH PHONE): ...and I just can't believe Auntie Aria would say that!
SERA (THROUGH PHONE): Oh, that reminds me! Your father and I were talking about coming to visit you. Coda would be coming too, maybe next-

[PANEL 2]
Waist-up shot of Rhapsody getting out of her car. Her right hand is placed on the top of the car door and her left is holding the phone to her ear. She appears irritated.
RHAPSODY: Mom, can I please call you back tomorrow? I'm at the summit, it's starting.
SERA: Oh, of course! Have fun, honey! Love you!
RHAPSODY: Love you too. Bye.

[PANEL 3]
Zoomed-out shot of Rhapsody standing by her car, her hand still holding onto her car door that remains ajar. She looks down at her phone and hangs up the call with a frustrated expression. The phone goes "boop." No dialogue.

[PANEL 4]
Same shot as panel 3, but Rhapsody's tail and arm holding her phone have drooped as she hunches forwards and lets out a heavy sigh with a PHEW. No dialogue.

[PANEL 5]
Waist-up shot of Rhapsody, hand still on her ajar car door, swiveling her neck to the right to look at something. No dialogue.

[PANEL 6]
Close up of Rhapsody from shoulders-up. She's looking slightly up with an expression of complete awe, her mouth slightly open. No dialogue.
