TITLE BOX
In the title box, RAYNE is sitting next to PIKACHU, where JOHN is standing by holding a poke ball, confused at RAYNE's behaviour.
JOHN
You're supposed to catch them.
RAYNE
Catch them?
RAYNE
I'm joining them.
NEXT PANEL, RAYNE gestures to PIKACHU.
RAYNE
This Jaundiced Cat and his friends are going to outlive us all.
RAYNE
I want in on that.
NEXT ROW
OUTSIDE – PARK. RAYNE is sitting in the park, watching the leaves start to change color.
RAYNE
I like fall.
RAYNE watches.
RAYNE
In spring, the plants, flowers and spring come alive.
RAYNE gestures to the beauty of nature.
RAYNE
They invade the air with their smells and beauty,
RAYNE rubs his nose and eyes in memory of allergy season.
RAYNE
And their allergens.
A leaf falls from the tree, and RAYNE's eyes narrow.
RAYNE
But in the fall?
RAYNE
They pay the price.
