ALT Panel 1: The hoodie girl has just received the bag of stuff that she forgot at the corner store, and the clerk is in front of his smiling innocently, surrounded by sparkles. The hoodie girl says "Thanks ... um ..." Panel 2: The hoodie girl looks up a the clerk with wary eyes and asks "Why do you dress like that? ... Are you, like ... Making fun of women?" Panel 3: The clerk waves his hands in front of his face frantically, taken aback and sweating a bit. He says "Making FUN OF?? OH, goodness, NO!" Panel 4: The clerk strikes a pose with his feet wide apart and his hand on his hips, with his other hand extending behind him. He's surrounded by stars and the word "STYLE" in the background. He says "This is just my STYLE! Everyone has a STYLE."

ALT Panel 5: The hoodie girl turns away from him and says "I don't. I just wear clothes that are comfortable." Panel 6: The clerk rests his chin in the crook of his thumb and tilts his head, striking a contrapposto pose. "Hm, well. Maybe that IS your style," he speculates. Panel 7: The clerk suddenly fills with excitement, sparkles in his eye. "When you get dress in the morning and look at yourself in the mirror," he continues, "DO YOU LIKE HOW YOU LOOK?" Panel 8: The hoodie girl just looks at the clerk's excited face with a neutral depressed expression.

ALT Panel 9: It cuts to her in that exact pose, looking back at herself in the mirror of her dirty bathroom, fluorescent lights humming above. She looks exhausted and disheveled. Panel 10: Cutting back to the present time, she looks away from the clerk with frustration on her face and says "I've got like a 2/10 face and a 4/10 body. I don't think any clothes would make me 'like how I look'". Panel 11: A 'PROCESSING' progress bar appears above the clerk's head as he is dazed, parsing what was just said one piece of information at a time. Panel 12: The clerk leans in and says "Girl, no offense ... But you have just said about 5 bits of nonsense in 4 seconds."

ALT Panel 13: The clerk leans back out and says this to the hoodie girl, who is listening attentively: "I know we only ever see each other at the corner store, so we're not really 'friends.' But do you want to go shopping with me on Main Street this weekend?" Panel 14: The clerk holds up his hands in the 'stop pose' and closes his eyes for emphasis, saying "NO. PRESSURE. Only if you have time and want to." Panel 15: The clerk tilts his head and looks at the hoodie girl with sparkly, innocent eyes, holding his hands together in front of him. Phantom dog ears and a wagging dog tail appear around him. Panel 16: The hoodie girl, frustrated, yells "YOU SAID NO PRESSURE!!" The clerk, confused, yells "Ah! What did I do??" while stepping away from her and holding his arms up.
