GUY 2: "I don't know, man. Let's go kill something."

Sparrow grabs Rachel by the head covering.
SPARROW: "But, she's a gawth!"
RACHEL: "Hey! Stop that!"
PANEL 4
Label: "in denial"
Rachel faces the reader directly, making a long defensive speech.
RACHEL: "Just because I am bitter and saturnine, and I wear black t-shirts emblazoned with sardonic phrases and listen to Nine Inch Nails and Depeche Mode, and I have this thing for black PVC, buckles, and fingerless gloves... That does not make me a goth."
"I reserve the right to label myself, thank you very much."
*Label: "really, really deep in denial"
