A.B.A’s arms wrap around Paracelsus’s back, and her legs wrap around his torso. Blue petals and hearts, along with sparkles, surround the two. The background is a salmon pink. A.B.A is wearing a flowy light blue dress and chunky blue Mary Janes with studs. Paracelsus is wearing a black sleeveless shirt and black pants with crossed stitching on the sides.

ALT 1st page of a three-page comic. 1st panel: Paracelsus, who is in a human form, holding a bag of groceries as he holds hands with A.B.A. A.B.A is leaning her head against his shoulder. A.B.A: Ever since you took on a human form, my hands have felt a little... 2nd panel: A close-up of their two hands holding, showing that Paracelsus has demonic-looking claws. A.B.A: ...empty without a weapon to defend myself with. 3rd panel: A.B.A puts a finger to her cheek, thinking. A.B.A: I was thinking that m-maybe I should look for a new one when we go out again tomorrow… Paracelsus looks at her in worry. 4th panel: Paracelsus coughs. 5th panel: Paracelsus looks at A.B.A, making his expression completely neutral. A.B.A looks up at him.

Paracelsus: If anything happens, I'm still plenty capable of protecting you. 2nd to 4th panels: A.B.A looks confused at first, then realizes what Paracelsus said; a devilish smile stretches across her face, and a shadow falls over her eyes. A.B.A: Dear, are you... 5th and 6th panels: A.B.A puts her hand around Paracelsus’s waist and boops his nose; Paracelsus looks mortified. There is a close-up of her face showing a crazed yet delighted expression. A.B.A: Paracelsus, you don’t need to be jealous of this new weapon, I haven’t even decided yet…! Paracelsus: H-huh? What’s… A-A.B.A! 3rd panel: A.B.A pokes Paracelsus's cheek playfully. Paracelsus: It baffles me how quickly you came to such a deeply incorrect conclusion…

ALT 1st panel: A.B.A stands on her tiptoes, hugging Paracelsus, trying to get closer to him, but he's pushing her head down with his hand. A.B.A: Uweh! Eheheheh… Oh my lovely… dear…! I never thought I’d see the day that- Paracelsus, cutting her off: “That”? That what? That nothing! Nothing remarkable happened! 2nd panel: Close-up of A.B.A successfully pulling Paracelsus closer to her; she's smiling as she presses her cheek against his. Paracelsus looks away, looking a little endeared by her. Hearts are coming out of A.B.A's speech bubbles. A.B.A: Eheheh, don’t fret, my darling husband… You know that you’re the only one for me, right…! Keheehee...! Paracelsus: Oh please, spare me your gleeful sympathy.
