I'm sorry to say it, but yes, this strip is true: X is graduating. I've always known it would have to happen at the end of the fourth semester (she said she was a junior in Strip #12, and X isn't the kind of person to spend more than four years on a bachelor's degree), though I'm not sure if anyone else will have seen it coming. Aylia certainly didn't -- and of all the surprises X has sprung on her in the past, this is not the most pleasant. X has a habit of never volunteering anything unless people ask directly . . .
