Page One: Klepto walks into a room with bright yellow walls, looking dejected. In the room is a bunk bed with blue sheets. He sees a green dragon plushie placed on the bed, and his face lightens up. He goes over and grabs the plushie, holding it close with evident affection.
Page Two: Farouq walks in as Klepto looks back at him, Farouq's face just out of frame. "Do you like it?" Dr. Farouq asks. Klepto grins. "Oh! Yes, thank you!" Klepto says. "Of course. Has Dr. Rose been treating you well?" Farouq asks with a smile.
Page Three: Klepto begins to scowl again before planting his face into his plushie, eyes grim. "No, of course he hasn't been. He's put a thing in me that can kill me if he wants to," Klepto says. Dr. Farouq is taken aback. "The kill switch?" he asks.
Page Four: Dr. Farouq immediately takes a falsely enthusiastic position, one hand outstretched while the other rests on a jutted out hip. He is sweating profusely but he keeps a gleeful smile. "Don't worry! He's just... paranoid! I've had the kill switch in me since I was nine! And I'm fine because it takes a lot for him to use it!" Farouq says, ending off with a laugh. Klepto looks up at him in tired surprise. "You have one? Does anyone else?" Klepto asks.
Page Five: Farouq is reduced to a simplified form, and the idea of Dr. Goldflower and a blue-haired coworker pops up beside him. "Yeah. Me, Dr. Goldflower, and Dr. Chicory." Farouq becomes more peppy again. "He's never used it on anyone!" he says. He goes back to his more detailed form, arms outstretched, but still keeping the clearly faked happy demeanor. "If it means anything, it's really easy to get used to. Just don't do anything you know will make him crazy and everything will be fine!" Dr. Farouq says.
Page Six: Klepto looks down at his plushie, but addresses Farouq. "Why are you nice?" Klepto asks. Farouq looks down at him in a much more solemn state. "Huh?" he asks. "Everyone here is so mean. Either you should be mean too or you shouldn't be a part of this," Klepto says while holding his plushie close. Farouq simply turns his head away while keeping his eyes focused on Klepto, staying silent.
