CONTINUED, The Boy From Venus #16 🧹
Panel 1: Val is walking in between a crowd of wavy blue and purple humanoid figures with prominent eyes and no other facial features. She is looking at the ground while walking, but many of their gazes are on her.

"The gazes of others have always hurt me," she narrates.

Panel 2: Now looking from the side, as if you, the viewer are in the crowd and seeing Val in between the other figures, we see Val glancing over her shoulder with a worried look.

"Why are you LOOKING at me? What are you THINKING of me? What do you WANT from me?" she narrates, "There are so many implication to being looked at."

Panel 3: One of the blue figures looks down at you, its prominent eyes contorted in disgust as its whole body seems to shrivel along with it. "They look is unmistakable. DISGUST. They find me disgusting," Val narrates.

Panel 4: A blue, pointed-fingered, belonging to one of the figures, lifting up a rock amid some grass to find a small dark brown millipede squirming in the dirt below it. Val continues: "Like they just lifted up a rock and found a bug beneath it, small and squirming and unused to sunlight."Panel 5: From Val's point of view, Audrey is now standing in the crowd among the walking blue and purple humanoids, looking right at her. Audrey is wearing the white blouse and blue bubble skirt from when they first met by the river bank. "But Audrey's gaze is DIFFERENT. It's not like when others look at me," Val narrates.

Panel 6: Closeup of Audrey as his eyes are now bursting with pure white light.

"It's WORSE," Val narrates. 

Panel 7: Audrey's giant face coming in from the side, its glowing eyes like a spotlight for Val. "Utter annihilation," Val narrates as her souls is parted from her body, now floating behind her as she floats in the glow of Audrey's eyes.

Panel 8: Val's body floats in the glow, devoid of consciousness, eyes grey, as her soul comes up behind her and puts its hand on her shoulder to take a look at her. The soul is a dark blue humanoid form with a messy ponytail like she has, and glasses. "I'm suddenly painfully aware of every flaw I have. Every bad habit, every stupid thought. I was so accustomed to just surviving every day," Val narrates.Panel 9: The lifting up rock panel again, but now the handle lifting it up is Audrey's hand, and where before was the millipede, is now a tiny Val, eyes shut tight, in fetal position. "Why did I not care about myself?" Val narrates, "Why did I not like myself?"

Panel 10: "I'm not READY ... for someone to look at me with anything but disgust, Audrey," Val narrates, turning her head to look up from the dirty, fearfully, still grasping her knees in fetal position.

Panel 11: A snail on a leaf on a peaceful, sunny day. A few raindrops glisten on the leaf from a recent drizzle. The snail is snugly inside its shell.

Panel 12: Point of view of the tiny Val in the dirt. Audrey lifting up the rock, the sun illuminating the him from behind, his eyes glistening. "I'm ... not ..." Val narrates.Panel 13: The snail once again, now slowly, cautiously, sticking one eye out of its shell and beginning to come out.

Panel 14: "Ready," says Val out loud, standing near the doorway into her apartment and holding a mostly full trash bag in his right hand and an empty can in her left. She's wearing her red sweatpants, socks and bathroom sandals, and a long sleeved black shirt with the Nirvana x-eyed smiley face logo. She's looking forward at her room.

Panel 15: Closeup of Val's desk. A monitor with the League of Legends defeat screen and a digital clock. Two stacked ramen cups. A teacup with two teabags and a pen in it behind the monitor. A stray piece of paper, a paper bag, and a stack of sticky notes in front of the monitor. The monitor has a sticky note on the bottom reading "7PM" circled. The digital clock reads 6:42PM.

Panel 16: We see the view of Val's room from behind/above her, and it is a mess. Unopened envelopes, takeout bags, and pizza boxes on the floor. A pile of dirty clothes next to an uncovered mattress that is pinning two bags of chips against the wall. Bags of trash on the floors, electronics chargers, chopsticks, and a roll of paper towels also on the floor, which has miscellaneous stains from who knows what. "Ah, shit," says Val.

CONTINUED, The Boy From Venus #15 🍄
Panel 1: Audrey and Val are facing one another on the river bank, seemingly in the late afternoon. They're wearing their last respective outfits from the previous episode. Audrey is saying "Well, you live right near the corner store, right? I was thinking, when I get off work ... I could bring over some snacks and we could watch a movie or something."

Panel 2: Val has a strained expression and starts sweating, sucking in her lips, like she is trying really hard to decide what to say.

Panel 3: Audrey holds his hands up and says "Okay, yep, no. That's definitely the NO face. Say no more!"

Panel 4: Val looks to the side with a strained, nervous expression, replying "No, no, Audrey, it's just, I don't think my apartment is ... Ready for visitors."Panel 5: Audrey tilts his head and asks "Oh? What's up with it?" as Val turns her head away from his, sweating.

Panel 6: Val says "UH," rapidly swinging her head back to face Audrey but with his eyes lagging to the side, giving her time to think.

Panel 7: Val recalls her room, which is an absolute mess, empty pizza boxes, trash bags, socks, unopened mail, miscellaneous chargers, and stains littering the floor. The mattress has no cover, the trash bin is overflowing, and there's a single sound insulating foam panel on the wall behind the computer monitor. A sound of a fly buzzing emanates through the room.

Panel 8: "Black mold," replies Val, finally looking directly at Audrey.Panel 9: Audrey suddenly leans close to Val and balls his hands with a worried expression, yelling "BLACK MOLD?? Val, you CAN'T BE LIVING THERE!!" Val leans back a bit.

Panel 10: Val gives a thumbs up and a close-eyed nervous smile, saying "No no it's okay. I like ... wear a mask."

Panel 11: Audrey has a comedically sad expression, like a toddler who got told that magic isn't real. Water eyes, tensed chin, as if about to cry.

Panel 12: Val, by contrast, just has her brow furrowed in slight annoyance, asking "What."Panel 13: Audrey, still watery-eyed, begins speaking in a baby talk voice, saying "My besht fwiend's wivving wiz bwack mowod."

Panel 14: Fisheye lens closeup of Val looking very unamused, brow still furrowed, the setting sun casting a hard shadow on half of the face. She says "Audrey. Audrey you know I hate the V-tuber baby voice."

Panel 15: Audrey raises his head and begins saying into sky, "OOWOWW DA BWACK MOWD IS" and Val interrupts him, hands together in a pleading gesture and eyes shut tight, saying "OKAY OKAY I'll call a mold specialist TODAY. And we can hang out tomorrow. No more ear terrorism."

Panel 16: With her hands still together, Val looks down towards the ground, her pupils hazy, as a bead of sweat rolls down her face. "God I am so f*cked," she thinks.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, working at a desk. A brain next to her says, "We need to take breaks!"
The second panel zooms in on Sarah's face. She is annoyed. She says, "What if I don't listen to you?"
The third panel shows the brain smiling.
The fourth panel shows the brain reaching towards a lever. The brain says, "I'LL MAKE YOU."

Panel 11: Audrey's head happily pops out of the water, sending little droplets flying and reflecting the moonlight. "This was something aquatic," Val narrates, "Gentle. Curious. Unhurt."

Panel 12: Audrey's eyes sparkle as he notices a rubber duck floating around in the pool with him. It has round glasses, making it look kinda like Val. "Or maybe not unhurt," Val continues narrating, "but..."

Panel 13: Audrey picks up the rubber duck, smiling and inspecting it curiously.

Panel 14: Audrey holds up the rubber duck above his head so that Val can see it, big smile beaming. Behind him is an almost magical, chromatic sky filled with red, yellow, green, and blue stars, galaxies, and a huge moon. All of these elements are also reflected in the rippling pool, making it look like a paint-filled art easel. "Not defined by hurt," thinks Val.

Panel 1: Val and Audrey are standing together in front of the pool. Audrey points forward as they exchange a look and says "You don't have to go in if you don't want to. But I'm goin' in!"

Panel 2: Audrey begins to pull up his shirt over his head, illuminated by a streetlight behind him.

Panel 3: Val quickly covers her eyes, sweating a bit, surprised by him suddenly doing that.

Panel 4: We see only the thin slivers of light leaking between Val's fingers from Val's point of view. A speech bubble appears by one of the slivers, the tail indicating it to be from Audrey. "Val?" says Audrey.Panel 5: Still Val's point of view. Val opens her fingers a bit, just enough to see Audrey's face looking at her, amused. "Val, why are you doing that? Ha ha," says Audrey.

Panel 6: Val opens her eyes fully to see Audrey in a frilly blue two-piece bathing suit with a top that slings around the shoulders on both the side and top, and a skirt bottom. "It's just a bathing suit," says Audrey, "It's not like I'm naked."

Panel 7: Audrey walks off, sticking his tongue out a bit stupidly, as Val looks on. Audrey says "Anyway, I know what I'M here for. I'm gonna go splash around!"

Panel 8: Val thinks "I had seen Audrey be clumsy when we were walking on land before," and remembers him tripping with a fast food tray in front of her, sending french fries and soda flying everywhere.Panel 9: Val looks forward, the pool reflecting in her glasses, and thinks "But, looking at him now, I realized something."Panel 10: Audrey smiles placidly as his whole body gracefully flows through the water, as if he he one with the currents, bubbles gliding around him along the rhythms of his body. "This was never a land creature," Val narrates.

CONTINUED, The Boy From Venus #12 🐠
Panel 1: Val is is looking back at Audrey at the arcade with a confused scowl. "SWIMMING?" she asks, "Why SWIMMING all of a sudden?" The small blue imp version of her (Imp Val) that showed up before peaks out from behind her right side and angrily says "HE WANTS TO SEE YOU IN A BIKINI ..." It then switches to her left side and squints spitefully, saying "PERVERT ..."

Panel 2: Audrey has his hands folded behind his back, happily replying "Y'know the pool?" Val asks, "That sad little chlorine hole we have on North Street?"

Panel 3: Val points down at the ground with a concerned expression, talking about what they're currently doing as the arcade entrance illuminates her from behind. "Audrey, I'm gonna be real with you," she says, "THIS, TODAY was kinda an exception for me." 

Panel 4: Val puts her hands up in almost a shrugging gesture, continuing, "Ninety percent of the time I'm OUTSIDE at all, it's for a night walk. Pool's way too loud and crowded."Panel 5: Audrey looks to the side coyly and says "Well ... not always." The background turns a playful mix of reds, yellows, and pinks.

Panel 6: We see a view of a public pool at night, illuminated with streetlights and with a lifeguard on duty. On the right is a metal sign reading "NIGHT SWIM: 8PM to 11PM." Audrey's head and hand float in front, pointer finger raised, saying "They're actually doing NIGHT SWIMMING this month. But no one ever goes 'cept for a few old folks."

Panel 7: Audrey puts his fingers on his clavicle and closes his eyes, saying "That's when I like to go. But I never have anyone to go with because, y'know ... Who wants to go to the pool at night LMAO."

Panel 8: Val does that shrug-like gesture again and says "Why not just go during the day like a normal person? YOU actually have social skills."Panel 9: Audrey twirls his pointer fingers around one another and looks away nervously, saying "Well, it's just ... the way I dress, it's, um"

Panel 10: Val, with a stern expression, replies "Audrey, there's nothing wrong with the way you dress." Audrey exhales in exasperation.

Panel 11: Audrey looks away once again, this time sadly, and replies "It's about what I like to wear when I'm swimming, Val."

Panel 12: Both Val and Imp Val are stunned next to one another, having realized why Audrey only goes at night.Panel 13: Audrey, back to his characteristic happy cat smile, says "I'm gonna go no matter what. Around 10PM. You don't have to go, I just wanted to invite you."

Panel 14: Audrey prances past Val towards the light of the exit, glancing back and giving her a quick wave, saying "Okay, bye now!" Val is still just standing there looking forward.

Panel 15: Val, the arcade machines reflected in her glasses, says to herself, "Naw that's stupid. I'm just gonna stay home and game."

Panel 16: In the exact same pose and angle, Val is now in an orange t-shirt with a towel draped over her shoulders, with a fence and a tree in the background and Audrey sitting by the pool reflected in her glasses. Audrey is saying "VAL! YOU'RE HERE!!" and the tail of the speech bubble of him saying that is actually reflected in Val's glasses like a physical object.

Panel 1: Val is walking away from Fatima in the arcade, doing a quick wave goodbye back at her. Fatima says "It was nice catching up, Val! Don't be a stranger, ok?" Val responds "I won't. I gotta go find Audrey."

Panel 2: Fatima points to farther inside the arcade and says "Isn't that him over there?"

Panel 3: Val looks it Audrey, who is going so hard on a rhythm game machine that it looks like he has six arms, all moving so fast that they blur together. An aura of yellow, pink and white light emanates from the machine as if produced by his force and focus.

Panel 4: Closeup of Audrey as his hands go so fast that they look like they're doing a jutsu from Naruto. He's sweating and his eyes are intensely focused.Panel 5: Audrey wheezes and sweats heavily as the song concludes.

Panel 6: Audrey leans on the machine, with his other hand on his hip, and the machine's screen reading "YOUR RATING: SSS. FULL COMBO!" He says "Phew! Almost missed a couple there!"

Panel 7: Closeup of the cat-ears guy's face, which has a more-realistically-drawn-than-usual deadpan expression. He thinks "This arcade is full of demons."

Panel 8: Val approaches Audrey, who is still sweating his behind off but is now more relaxed. Uncharacteristically, Val is smiling a bit here as she says "Audrey. There you are."Panel 9: Val looks to the side coyly, still smiling, and says "I'm going home. Today was kinda FUN though. I think you're ... I guess, shockingly tolerable for a moid."

Panel 10: Audrey pretends to get shocked by electricity, his hair zigzagging and even his usual blush adopting a zigzag pattern, and says "I find you SHOCKINGLY tolerable too! BZZZT". Val, while still smiling, has a slightly exasperated expression and says "Alright don't push it."

Panel 11: Val and Audrey face each other as Audrey leans in slightly and says "This was a really cool day, Val. Thank you for joining me," to which Val responds, "Yep!"

Panel 12: They continued to awkwardly look at each other.Panel 13: Audrey looks to the side as a bead of sweat rolls down his face, while Val looks down at the floor. Neither knows what more to say.

Panel 14: Val puts her hand up to wave goodbye and starts turning to leave towards the light of the arcade entrance, saying "Well, I guess that's it then. See ya'!"

Panel 15: High view of Val walking away from Audrey, both of them casting shadows backwards against the light of the arcade entrance as Audrey stands silent.

Panel 16: Audrey speaks up. "Hey, um," he says, "Do you wanna ... go swimming? ..." Val stops walking away and shifts her gaze back at him.

Panel 1: Fatima looms over Val, backlit by the entrance to the arcade, with a cold expression. She says "Two YEARS, Val. Two YEARS you haven't shown your face here."

Panel 2: Zoom in on Fatima's face as she opens her eyes wide and says "And NOW ... I have something to say to you."

Panel 3: Fatima's expression becomes comically 'about-to-cry', her nose scrunched, mouth tensed, and eyes glistening with years.

Panel 4: Fatima hugs Val, shedding big tears, and yells, "I'M SOOOORRRYYYY"Panel 5: Fatima puts her head over Val's shoulder and continues crying, saying "Val, I was a TERRIBLE friend. I NEVER should've asked you to do that."

Panel 6: We flip the view and now see Val's face as she looks stunned. Fatima continues talking, saying "I should've just asked you to cast the tournament with me or something! I was so STUPID!!"

Panel 7: Val hugs Fatima back as her expression turns slightly pained. "I did you dirty too, Fatima," she says, "I said I'd do our plan and then didn't."

Panel 8: Val hold's Fatima's shoulders, holding Fatima in front of herself as they face each other. Val says "I was too proud to lose, but then too ashamed to face you. I wanted to make it look like I walked out an indignant victor ..."Panel 9: "... But really, I RAN," Val finishes saying as Fatima looks at her wide-eyed, her makeup running.

Panel 10: Audrey is standing behind Val with his hands clasped together on his jeans and says "Hey, um. I'm gonna give you two some space." Val replies "Thanks, Audrey."

Panel 11: Once Audrey leaves, Fatima leans in close to Val with sparkly eyes, saying "Val, who was THAT smokeshow?? I didn't know you SWING that way!" Val replies, "There's a lot to unpack in that sentence" 

Panel 12: Audrey is walking whimsically through the arcade and looking around, humming a tune.Panel 13: He spots an arcade machine with a four by four grid of square buttons, which happens to have the cat-ears guy from a few comics ago standing next to it. Audrey says "OH! What's THIS game??"

Panel 14: The cat-years guy gestures towards the game, also placing his hand on it, and says "Oh, this is a rhythm game from Japan. The menu is all in Japanese. I can teach you to play if you like."

Panel 15: Audrey's eyes sparkle as he insistently presses a button on the grid that has lit up. The cat-ears guy is saying "Okay, so, just because a button lights up doesn't mean you NEED to press it."

Panel 16: The cat-ears guy shifts his gaze over to the machine's screen to see how Audrey is navigating the menu by spamming that one button. He says "Okay, so, you just selected the hardest song on the maximum difficulty. Don't press that button again. Press the other one to go back. Okay, so. You pressed it again."

CONTINUED, The Boy From Venus #9
Panel 1: Val and a blonde, pink-shirted fighting game opponent as sitting on front of a big flatscreen, a crowd gathered around them. On the screen is a fighting game showing a flying robot extendo-punching a blocking Doctor Duel in a flooded cave. Val narrates: "It's the last game in the set. I won the first and lost the second to make it more convincing."

Panel 2: We zoom in on the healthbars of the two character, revealing them both to be very low, with 38 seconds left on the match timer. Val continues narrating: "I made it CLOSE on this third one too. I'm PRECISE."

Panel 3: We zoom in on the robot extend-punching Doctor Duel, who is blocking in a crouched position, shielding himself with his white cape. Val continues narrating: "Now he's chipping me out in the corner ... and I just have to let him do that."

Panel 4: Profile view of Val's head, her face illuminated by the light of the screen, as she continues narrating: "It's just a small favor for a friend. A small concession. Really not a big deal and not a testament to anything."Panel 5: Val looks down at her hands.

Panel 6: In her hands is a PS2-style controller. She is holding the left direction input on the d-pad, in order to block in the game. She narrates: "But ... That's how these things work, isn't it."

Panel 7: Val, in mid-air in a dusty white void, eyes closed and mouth hanging open slightly, has several jigsaw-puzzle-piece shapes taken out of her form. She narrates: "Just one small concession. And then another. And then another. None of them seem that important ..."

Panel 8: We zoom in as she now has more jigsaw-puzzle-piece shapes taken out of her form, notable one of them previously where her mouth was. She opens her eyes slightly. She narrates: "Until you realize ..."Panel 9: Now instead of jigsaw-puzzle-piece shapes taken out of her, only one piece that has any of her in it remains, and it is her eye, in a state of dread and panic. She narrates: "You've conceded your ENTIRE EXISTENCE."

Panel 10: Val is now in profile again, but colored with dark greens and blues and frontlit with red. She is sweating and scowling, and he controller shakes in her hands. She continues narrating: "It's not in me. This isn't why I'm here. I want to LIVE. I want to SURVIVE ..."

Panel 11: She stands up out of her seat with such force that it almost knocks it over, a blaze of deep crimsons and yellows, and yells "I EXIST GOD DAMN IT!!!" Her opponent sits shocked, looking at the screen.

Panel 12: Doctor Duel kicks straight up, sending the robot flying backwards and depleting the rest of their healthbar, as the screen says "K.O." in big shimmering blue lettering.Panel 13: Val is standing in front of the flatscreen, both her opponent and the crowd looking at her in shock. The whole scene is bathed in red, except for Val and the screen, who are in colder colors. The screen reads "PLAYER 1 WINS" and shows Doctor Duel with a tensed, hand out, aura farming.

Panel 14: Val gently set her controller down on the seat of the chair.

Panel 15: Back-view of Val leaving the arcade proudly with her laptop bag, as Fatima reaches the tournament prize money to her over the counter with a nonplussed expression.

Panel 16: Val puts her hand out palm-down, rejecting the money, and says, with her pupil glowing red, "Keep it. I'll never come back here."
