ALT Panel 1: A sunrise is coming over a hill in the background, with several darkened residential buildings in the foreground. A mess of telephone & electrical wires runs along several poles between them, which also have street signs attached towards the bottom. The bright sunlight glistens on the wires and illuminates the edges of the buildings. Panel 2: Audrey's slightly weary-looking left eye opens, the pupil now reflecting the light of the sun coming through the window. Panel 3: Audrey's foot, dressed in a sock that looks like a tabby cat's foot, touches the floor gently, as they have now gotten up and are walking towards the bathroom on the other side from the bed in Val's studio apartment. Seemingly Val had never woken Audrey when they fell asleep on the beanbag. Panel 4: Audrey stands in the darkness of the bathroom, looking at the mirror, their features completely coated in darkness with only the slightest illumination from the entrance doorway.

ALT Panel 5: Audrey turns the lights on with a "click", triggering the flourescent hum of Val's lights and revealing their face, which has grown a small coating of facial hair, like a five-o-clock shadow. The eyeliner of their right eye is also smudged because they slept on that part of their face. Panel 6: Audrey's cat-socked foot now gently touching the floor as it walks the other way, back towards the bed and beanbag. Panel 7: Audrey withdraws several items from their red purse, all between the fingers in one hand. These items are: a eyeliner pen, a shaving razor, a green tube with a gold cap which is mascara, a black shaving cream packet, and a pink makeup removing wipe packet. Panel 8: Closeup of Audrey carefully and thoroughly shaving , having applied the foaming shaving dream to the bottom half of their face.

ALT Panel 9: Closeup of Audrey applying mascara to their eyelashes, squinting slightly. In their pupil, you can see a reflection of their silhouette in the mirror they're looking at, applying the mascara. Panel 10: Audrey look at themself in the mirror proudly, smiling, holding the sink by its sides and leaning forward on it, and says "THERE you are!" All that makeup stuff they were using is resting in the basin of the sink. Panel 11: Audrey tilts their head slightly, closes their eyes, smiling, and says "Geez. Feels like I'm trying to hide a zombie bite." Panel 12: Audrey quietly waltzes over back to the beanbag and bed, saying "A zombie virus that turns you into a man. What a terrifying concept." A thought bubble rises above them, featuring pink humanoids with the venus symbol running away from blue, sharp-teethed zombified humanoids with the mars symbol. One of the pink ones is being bitten by one of the blue ones and their arm has turned a blue that is spreading to their body.

ALT Panel 13: Val sleeps in her bed, illuminated by the morning light coming through her blinds, uncharacteristically peaceful. Some dust particles glisten in the beams of light. Panel 14: Audrey leans forward to look at Val and says "YOU'RE not bitten, Val. You have no idea how beautiful you are." Panel 15: Audrey raises their hands menacingly and opens their mouth wide with a zombie-like stare as the background turns crimson and their eye and teeth take on a yellow glow. Panel 16: Audrey curls up their fingers, withdraws their hands, and smiles, saying "naw just kiddin'" quietly to themself.
