(The panel shows a small town. Lance is now the narrator, out of sight)

Lance: ... Dammit... ... Might as well get this over with. I grew up in a small town, shown here. I don't think most people knew about it, but that was fine with us.

(A small boy with a backpack and hat is running down the street)

Lance: ...Annnnd here's me. I must be coming home from school. God, do we really have to show my younger self?? I can't believe I thought it was cool to wear that hat. Why didn't my parents stop me??

(The panel now shows Lance's parents)

Lance: Speaking of which: here they are. My dad was a tough military man. He worked for the Empire. My mom stayed at home and took care of me. Dad wanted me to be a soldier.

(An older boy is on-screen. Young Lance hides behind a tree)

Older Boy: Hiding again, Swordfighter? Coward! I KNOW I just saw you!

Lance: Oh yeah, and there was a neighborhood bully, too. It was like a childhood rival, except more... one-sided. It'll probably come up later. Just sayin'.
