[FRAME 1]

Previously on The NPCs

[FRAME 2]

Don: Your Majesty, you have to do something! Monsters are overrunning the town!

King: Monsters? Where? Who said that?

Don: They're loose in the town! You have to send your guards out to deal with them.

[FRAME 3]

King: Well then, they must be disguised as people! Any one of you could be a monster!

[FRAME 4]

GUARDS LEADING DON AWAY

Don: Your Highness! There's a real monster! I've seen it!

King: I could tell right away, you know. Something about the way its skin sags, like it doesn't fit right.

Queen: Yes, dear.

[FRAME 5]

Don: So you're perfectly happy arresting innocent people on the orders of a madman?!

Guard: You says he's a madman, he says you's a monster. If we didn't work for him, maybe he's a madman. But we do, so you's a monster.

Guard 2: An' you'll be a quiet monster if you don't wanna be a bleedin' monster.

[FRAME 6]

Chamberlain: Sorry about that, I would've come sooner but the King made some proclamations, and it's important he sees me write them down.

Don: So I'm not really under arrest? Did I have to be marched down here then?

[FRAME 7]

Chamberlain: Look, I'd appreciate it if you don't spread any rumours about this... misunderstanding.

Don: You mean the King believing I'm a monster?

[FRAME 8]

CASTLE EXTERIOR

Chamberlain: Sorry about the guards, but if the King sees you again he might execute us both. I'm sure you understand.

Don: So they're actually for my protection?

Chamberlain: Sure.
