[[The emperor's throne room. Fooker and Justin (and possibly others off panel) have re-entered, as Trudy or alternate Trudy continues to kiss Nick. Justin is wearing a MUTEX helmet. Fooker stands next to him, with one eyebrow cocked, watching Trudy or alternate Trudy and Nick. Nick still appears to be startled: his head shakes a bit, his right eye shows surprise instead of fatigue (the left eye is hidden behind Trudy's or alternate Trudy's face), and his right arm (the only one visible) is bent, as if he is might be off balance and is trying to steady himself.]]

[[Trudy or alternate Trudy continues to kiss Nick. Nick no longer appears to be startled. His head has stopped shaking, his arm is straight, and the dark circle has reappeared under his eye. Justin has moved the MUTEX helmet back so that his eyes are visible, and he and Fooker look at each other.]]

[[Trudy or alternate Trudy continues to kiss Nick. He seems to be kissing back now: his right arm is around her waist. Trudy's or alternate Trudy's left arm is around Nick's neck, and she holds his head in her right hand. Justin has removed the helmet and looks down, possibly embarrassed at what he is seeing. Fooker stares at Nick and Trudy or alternate Trudy. His eyebrows are faint but may indicate that he is frowning.]]

[[Justin glares at Nick and Trudy or alternate Trudy. Fooker looks over toward Justin as he speaks. As Trudy or alternate Trudy replies, she holds Nick's head to her chest. Her face seems to be both angry and sad at the same time. Nick's eyes look startled again instead of tired as Trudy or alternate Trudy yells at Fooker.]]
Fooker: AHEM
Trudy or Alternate Trudy: I'm saying goodbye forever, darnit!
