OVER BLACK SCENE CARD
High Fidelity Turns Lists Into Romantic Accounting
The lists work because taste becomes emotional bookkeeping. Rob organizes hurt as rankings, then has to face how curation protects him from responsibility.
Why it works
Record-store talk, direct address, and top-five structure make romance into a filing system. The comic engine is that analysis feels honest while hiding the harder confession.
