[[As Nega-Nick (masquerading as "our" Nick) finishes his story, face still in his hands, Trudy stands out of reach nearby. There is no dialog in this strip, we only see a range of emotions crossing Trudy's face. We see tears of sympathy starting down her face, but these are rapidly replaced by a pained grimace and a determined anger, even a bit of loathing, and she finally turns to face Nega-Nick directly.]]
