Panel 3 Tritica: "Do you happen to know something?" Panel 4 Fina looks away awkwardly. Fina (cautious): "Well..." "How should I tell you..." "Where do I even begin?" Strawman Elegy comic 39 transcript Panel 1 One explanation later... Fina: "...It was uncomfortable, so I had to quit." Fina looks uneasy as she explains. She still couldn't make eye contact. Tritica gasps. Panel 2 Tritica (worried): "Gosh... That boy can be so clueless!" "But I raised him to be a smart boy!" Tritica (looks away, thinking): "I wonder if he got it from his dad..." Fina judges silently off-panel. Panel 3 Tritica: "Sorry you had to endure that!" Fina: "It's not your fault..." Tritica: "But he's unmarried..." "So I'm still responsible for him!" Fina is bewildered by Tritica's response. Panel 4 Tritica: "Though, if I could be frank..." "My son at least got a good taste..." Tritica looks away in slight embarassment. Tritica: "Pardon me..." Fina silently grumbles at Tritica's remark. Her hair comically wrinkles in irritation.

(An image of the same PT face palming while looking at a piece of paper, presumably a warning of some kind.) Panel 3 Dani (worriedly): "If you ever feel uncomfy," "I want you to tell me straight up, okay?" Fina (back view): "Hmm..." Panel 4 Fina has a dark and distracted expression.
