• She is accompanied by two coworkers, who appear concerned about her unusual behavior.

Panel 2:

• Alice is now standing on the ground, still looking disoriented, and says, "Hey, Alice, you know how I promised to cover all of your meetings for two weeks? I forgot until right now."
• Her coworkers look on in surprise, unsure of how to respond to her sudden memory lapse.

Panel 3:
