*A young Mike and young Lucy are playing together. Mike wears a cap, and Lucy is holding a toy car.*
Mike (narrating): When we met back in preschool, she only seemed to want to play with my toys. I told her it was really weird for a girl.
*Mike points his finger. Lucy looks up at him.*
Mike (narrating): She didn’t take that well. Lucy started getting really competitive, always trying to beat me whenever we played.
*Lucy shoves Mike.*
Lucy: Jerk!
*Mike flinches.*
Mike: ?!
*Mike glares back at Lucy, who is following him. She is shouting and holding up a fist.*
Mike (narrating): I thought she was pretty annoying.. So clingy, so determined to be my rival..
*Mike looks aggravated, while Lucy stands behind him, looking riled up.*
Mike (narrating): It took years for me to understand why she avoided everyone else and followed me like a shadow.
[The panel shows a pair of kindergarten classroom doors, labeled “K2” and “K3”.]
Mike (narrating): But soon after that, we were separated when kindergarten began. I didn’t really see her for a whole year!
