[ Video Description:
A vertical video with a long rectangular frame with a mid-brightness grey background. It switches between greyscale comic panels as the lines are said, as following:
A wide rectangular panel. Short-haired Brainy (shBrainy) stands in the background, looking sadly at ponytail-Brainy (pBrainy) who is in the foreground and seen from the back of his head.
A square panel. pBrainy looks out, ‘YOU SEEM DISTRESSED, QUERL. DID THE LEGION GIVE YOU THE INFORMATION YOU NEEDED ON LEX LUTHOR?'. A tiny bubble shows shBrainy speaking offscreen ‘YES.’
A short rectangular panel. The two Brainys face each other, drawn at side- profiles. shBrainy continues speaking, ‘BUT— I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE BIG BRAN SUFFERED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE IN THE Al-PLAGUE.’, continuing into a bubble below the panel, ‘I HAVE ORDERS TO RETURN TO THE 31st CENTURY TO HELP.’
A square panel. In a wider shot, pBrainy tilts to the side with his arm out, ‘WELL, YOU ALWAYS KNEW YOU'D HAVE TO RETURN TO YOUR OWN TIME EVENTUALLY.’ shBrainy is cut-off by the boarder, so only the back of his arm is seen, ‘THERE'S MORE.’
A square panel. A 3/4 close-up of shBrainy as looks out, 'IN ORDER TO SAVE THE BIG BRAIN, I HAVE—’, an ellipsis.
A full portrait page. A close-up busy of shBrainy, tears forming and mouth open wide, ‘I HAVE BEEN CALLED UPON TO MERGE WITH IT.’
A square panel, ripped on the right side. A bust of pBrainy, shocked and brows furrowed.
A rectangular panel, ripped on the left side. Close up if just their hands, pBrainy's by his side, and shBrainy's right hand reaching out, ‘IF I DO SO—’
A square panel, ripped on the right side. A 3/4 closeup of a solemn shBrainy, ‘—I WILL CEASE TO EXIST.’
A larger square panel, ripped on the left side. A front-view close-up of an even more shocked pBrainy's face, with speech from shBrainy surrounding him, 'SO WILL YOU.’
A thin rectangular panel. Close-up on both Brainy's, but the back of the head for shBrainy. pBrainy smiles, ‘WE WILL EXIST... MAYBE NOT AS OURSELVES, —’. Another panel of the same shape is added below it, speech bubbles connecting, pBrainy now tilting his head up and raising a hand, ‘BUT AS A PART OF SOMETHING GREATER.’
A small rectangular panel. shBrainy yells at pBrainy, ‘I AM A PART OF SOMETHING GREATER!’
A tiny portrait panel. shBrainy looks up, 'HERE—’. A slightly different but same panel repeats, ‘—IN THIS TIME.’
A taller portrait panel, showing all of shBrainy's upper body. His brows are extremely furrowed, and he looks down, ‘I— I HAVE A FAMILY. I— I'M IN LOVE!’
A rectangular panel. shBrainy looks towards pBrainy who is partially seen at 1/4 view, ‘I CANNOT ABANDON THEM. I—’
A rectangular panel. shBrainy is drawn closer, mouth wide, ‘I WILL NOT ABANDON HER!’. A tiny people shows pBrainy speaking off-screen, ‘IF YOU—’
A small and short portrait panel. shBrainy's eyes are closed, and he expresses with his hands, ‘I KNOW, I KNOW. I— I— I RISK JEOPARDISING THE ENTIRE SPACE-TIME CONTINUUM. BUT—’
A small and short portrait panel. A close-up of pBrainy's midriff, his hands in fists, ‘TH— THERE MUST BE ANOTHER OPTION.’ . A bubble connects to pBrainy in the next panel off-screen, ‘I'M RUNNING CALCULATIONS ON ALTERNATE OUTCOMES AS WE SPEAK,’
A small and short portrait panel. A close-up of pBrainy, ‘AND THEY'RE JUST N—’
A rectangular panel. On the left is a close-up of shBrainy holding his phone in his right hand, the lock screen a picture of Nia smiling. On the right is him holding it up to his face, trying not to cry. The panel is split in the middle like a crack in land, with large text of the speech of pBrainy, ‘THEY'RE NOT VIABLE.’
A square-ish portrait panel. shBrainy is drawn at 3/4 view, but on the right side as he has his back to pBrainy. He looks down, ‘I HAVE TO REMAIN JERE LONG ENOUGH TO ENSURE THAT LEX AND NXLY ARE VANQUISHED.’
A square-ish portrait panel. pBrainy is drawn at side-view, showing only part of his right side, with the hand of shBrainy squeezing his arm, ‘TO AT LEAST KNOW MY FRIENDS ARE SAFE.’
A square-ish portrait panel. shBrainy is drawn from the back, and pBrainy at 3/4 view, the gap between them closed. pBrainy looks sympathetically, ‘TRULY, I AM SORRY, QUERL.’
A long and tall rectangular panel. The angle is switched, so now shBrainy can be seen from the front, and pBrainy from the back. pBrainy places his right hand on shBrainy's shoulder, and the left on his chest. shBrainy looks down at the hand on his chest, his own right hand on the right button-light on his clothes. They are drawn on the left edge, a lot of background taking up the other two thirds of the panel, with text from pBrainy over it as he fades away, ‘IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT YOU ARE BURDENED WITH FEELINGS SO MUCH.’
