Description

Here’s a detailed transcription of the comic:

Panel 1 (Thought Bubble)
“Regret… it surrounds you, but like an invisible foe. When you look for it, you find emptiness. And yet, it remains.”

Panel 2
“Deficiencies can be fixed. Desires can be fulfilled. But regret… regret is permanent. Inoperable.”

Panel 3
“But I realized the truth. Regret can't hide if I envelop it. If I encompass my body.”

Panel 4
“Yes, I love lasagna. But not for the taste, for I only taste shame. Not for the satiation, for in this world of shadows there is no satiety.”

Panel 5
“If I can only grow to the size of the universe, I will contain space and time. What's been and what's to be will exist as one in the chaotic architecture of my lamenting body.”

Panel 6
“And when past becomes present, I will reach across the gulf of time and grip that one awful moment, and I will say,
‘I'm sorry. I'm sorry, and I love you.’”

Panel 7
(Two cats talking)
“I hate Mondays.”
“Monday is the day I could have saved him.”
