Only his eyes are visible in the shadow. Panel 2: A person as sitting at a laptop, holding a gaming controller connected to it. They have messy hair and dark shadows under their eyes, and are wearing a sweatshirt and sweatpants. Around them are scattered energy drink containers, ramen rontainers, chip bags, and and napkins. There's also a floor mattress. This person is clearly a shut-in. Panel 3: Shen, still mostly cloaked in shadow, points forward at them with a severe expression on his face, saying "you thought you could escape pride month?" Panel 4: Confetti falls as the shut-in (still in sweatshirt/sweatpants), is paraded through the streets on a stage atop a colorful car, as crowds cheer on both sides. Above them are two drones hovering in the air carrying a banner. The banner has the pride flat on it and arrows pointing down at them.

It's showing step 1, where the brown-haired woman is just holding it in her mouth. Panel 2: A finger comes into view and scrolls down to step 2, where they are now kissing. Panel 3: Lilith is revealed to be the one looking at the phone, but not the one holding it. Panel 4: Ana is revealed to be the one holding it, showing the pocky challenge to Lilith, and she has a full sized French baguette in her mouth.
