THEY/THEM | Commissions : OPEN | I make comics of anything I like

We see the red shed has been taped off with yellow tape that says "CRIME SCENE DO NOT CROSS". It is still night.
We see them still standing by the door. Then the next panel an undetermined amount of time has past. Asriel is standing one foot slightly up, impatient, Noelle is sitting in the grass trying to amuse herself by picking flowers.
We see a flash of darkness seemingly leaking out of the crack the butterfly went into. Kris stares at it curiously and reaches out a hand, but is interrupted by Noelle shouting their name. Noelle: "KRIS!" She pulled their arm away. "We're not allowed to be out of your Brother and Dess's sight." Noelle: "Come on - Let's head back." Kris sticks out their tongue at Noelle. Noelle, looking annoyed: "Kris..."
December walks to the right, arms swinging and looking carefree. December: "That's what I've been doing. And that's what I'm gonna keep doing until the last day of high school." She strikes a strong pose. "Then Boom! That's the last ya'll see of December Holiday!" December and Asriel sit on a log as they continue to talk. Asriel: "You're not even gonna visit?" December: "Nope! I'm getting out of here and heading for the big city." She taps her chin and looks up as she imagines her plan. December: "I have it all planned out. I'm gonna get a new phone so my mom can't call me - I'll get a cute job - Like a barista. I'll get an aprtment with a few roomies. Then finish my degree with honors!" As December talks we see Kris and Noelle in the background looking at another bug. A Butterfly.
First panel starts with younger Noelle and Kris looking at a beetle. Kris' eyes is covered by their bangs, they have a red headband with devil horns, and in the background we can hear Asriel and December mid conversation. Asriel: "I was actually looking into sending an application there too!" December: "For real? Dude, if we both make it, we should become roomies!" We see Kris reach for the bug and then start to tease Noelle with it. Asriel: "Um.. Kris..." December: "Kris! The bugs go in the cage!"
A tabby cat-person wearing an elegantly patterned cloak. Their hat is similarly patterned with baubles hanging down the rim from strings. They're reading a small tome in one hand.
A series of Animal creatures. One a fox man with his hands in his pockets. a Cat person with Siamese markings. A Dog girl with Horns and a microphone. and A Orange Tabby person with wings that frame both sides of her face.
