The Community, Issue 1: Part 2.1

Panel 1: A short time later, they are helping mop up the spice and canned food section of the aisle. Seanna has the same type of KCCO attitude; their condition worsening slowly but surely compared to the end of the previous page.
SEANNA
(thought bubble)
Just hold it together a little while longer- till lunch. Then I can clock out and...
Panel 2: Same setting/layout as the previous panel. They stop mopping moments later upon seeing something taking place at the aisle.
R#1
(Off-Panel, to Man)
Haven't you caused enough damage, Chink?!
Panel 3: Cut to a shot of what Watkins is seeing- a pair of taller 40-something white guys moving up on a South Asian man a little bit younger than them with his daughter.
R#1
(Cont., incensed)
Your people unleashed a pandemic that kills thousands of people...
R#2
(jumping in)
Cost me my job!
R#1
(Bubble 2)
Tanked the entire freakin' economy, while you guys strut about like your shit doesn't stink.
R#2
(Bubble 2)
You sicken me!
Panel 4: Slight close-up on the group a moment later. R#2 glares over at his compatriot with a moment of sick inspiration.
R#2
(Cont.)
Ya know what he needs? A little moment of enlightenment. They always go ga-ga for that godless...
SEANNA
(Off-Panel, interjecting)
Can I help you guys with anything?
Panel 5: Cut to Seanna standing a handful of feet from the two of them. They conjure up a little bit of intimidation through the puff in their chest, though still with the charm of customer service in their eyes.
SEANNA
(Cont.)
There's a sale on 6-packs of Sierra Nevada. I'm not much of a drinker, but booze is a pretty good salve for quarantine anxiety.

Panel 1: The two of them look at each other for a brief moment, silently weighing what to do next. You can see the customer in the middle, nervously anticipating what darkness may come.
Panel 2: Same setting/layout as the previous panel. R#1 nods with grated teeth, flashing an appearance of cordiality that hides the contempt for Seanna bubbling within. You can also see part of it in R#2 too as he turns back around.
R#2
(under their breath, directed at the customer)
Got lucky...
(to Seanna)
Fuckin' fag!
Panel 3: As the two of them leave, the customer in question looks over and nods appreciatively at Seanna for the intrusion.
CUSTOMER
(to Seanna)
Thanks.
Panel 4: Back to a shot of Seanna giving a silent nod along with a slight grin alongside it. You can see their right hand- gripping the middle of the mop- start to shake in place.
SEANNA
(to Customer)
No...p--roblem.
Panel 5: Same setting/layout as Panel 3. He notices the shaking hand, and his body language shifts immediately toward one of concern.
CUSTOMER
You okay?
Panel 6: We move back to Seanna in the same setting/layout as Panel 4. They nod timidly, trying to contain inside the sickness spike bubbling inside.
SEANNA
Mmm-hmm...
(thought bubble)
Can't hold out any longer!
