Panel 1: During
the Davies College Winter Ball, Marie, dressed in a fedora and trench
coat, is sitting on a couch in the common room. Barbara approaches,
wearing her Sherlock Holmes costume.
Barbara: Good evening.
Marie: I see you've changed.
Panel 2: Barbara sits down.
Barbara: Your noir-inspired outfit has made me want to demonstrate my devotion to another variety of detective fiction.
Marie: Interesting.
Panel 3: They sit there together, being detectives.
Panel 4: Sara is staring at them as Rahim stands beside her.
Barbara: Here I sit, deducing things.
Marie: Quiet...I'm undergoing character development in a bleak cultural landscape imbued with cynicism.
Rahim [to Sara]: Just back slowly away.
Alt-Text: If someone comes along dressed as a nosy mystery author who is always stumbling upon murders, I'm out of here.
