[Image description: It is a digitally drawn seven panel comic. All the panels are squares.
1. panel: Background is same for the first five pictures: light rose color with light grey borders. First picture has a girl standing in the middle, a silhoutte of a human on the both sides of her. At the bottom of the picture there’s a black text that says ”From time to time, we run into situations where everything seems to be demanding our attention.”
2. panel: Green, feminine silhoutte has a droplet on their head and has a speech bubble, that doens’t say anything. Girl in the middle looks at her with a smile. At the bottom there’s a black text that says ”Usually part of it comes from our loved ones. Maybe they’re in a bad place and need our help.”
3. panel: Turquoise masculine silhoutte get’s a droplet on their head too, and has a speech bubble with no text. The girl in the middle turns her head towards them and looks perplexed. At the bottom of the picture there’s a black text that says ”And we want to help our friends, so much! They are our loved ones, in the end. They’ve helped us, they’ve been there for us.”
4. panel: Both of the sihlouttes start having more and more speech bubbles, and the girl in the middle looks terrifyed. At the bottom of the picture there’s a black text that says ”And we try our best. But sometimes it’s too much.”
5. panel: Silhouttes are gone, but the girl is crouching in the middle of a huge amount of speech bubbles, holding hands on her ears. At the bottom of the picture there’s a black text that says ”Way too much. We feel worthless and maybe even try harder, but…”
6. panel: Background changes to nearly black. Girl is crouching in the middle of darkness. There’s white text above the girl, that says ”…isn’t that when you’re left alone most? Not because your friends wouldn’t care, but because you don’t. You don’t care about yourself.” At the bottom of the picture there’s a larger text that says ”You leave yourself alone, in order to take care of others.”
7. panel: There’s a profile of the girl’s head, staring down. At the bottom of the picture there’s a white text that says ”While it is a good deed to help your friends, who pays the price? If you don’t care about yourself, then who does?”]
