Panel 1: Marie and Casey sit on a couch in the empty Davies common room.
Marie: Is everybody sick?
Casey: Almost. Haven't you been checking your e-mail?
Panel 2:
Marie: I've been in bed for two weeks. I've never been sick like that before.
Casey: It's a bad flu. We had to cancel the Coffee House for lack of performers.
Panel 3: Casey puts an arm around Marie, who is clutching at her head.
Casey: I did tell you all this already. I've been visiting you a lot.
Marie: Have you? I only remember...impossible stuff.
Panel 4:
Casey: Yes...that would have been me.
Marie: Please don't let Barbara hear you say that.
Alt-Text:
I've actually never seen a Coffee House cancelled, but I *have* seen
the college so ravaged by illness that "empty" would be a fairly
conservative description of its common spaces.
