Yes, it's a reiteration of NB178. In this story arc, the first strip sucks
instead of the last one.

Still a bit weak. What sets this story arc apart from the others is that I
actually wrote the whole story before putting pencil to paper, or whatever.

This strip and the last are the ones upon which the whole story arc hinges.
Everything else is just there to bind those two together.
