#289: Alone explain

Alone

[Megan crawling on bed toward Cueball.]

Cueball: It’s not something you can turn off.

[Cueball pulling Megan, bedspread, and pillow off of bed onto floor.]

Cueball: A part of me is always detached. Abstracting, looking at numbers and patterns.

[Megan on top of Cueball, both under bedspread, on floor. Megan looks to be ’touching’ Cueball.]

Cueball: When we should be closest, part of me is still so alone. Counting the touches of her fingertips. Touch. Touch. Touch touch. Touch touch touch. Touch touch touch touch touch.

[Same scene as third panel.]

Cueball: Wait. Is that… That’s the Fibonacci sequence! Whatever I did to deserve you, it couldn’t have been enough.
