A. Downtown | Neutron Diner | Interior | Early Evening
[Peter sits at the bar inside of the small-town diner. Girls in rollerskates zip past him, serving the other six or seven customers in the restaurant. On the jukebox, Bobby Day's "Rockin' Robin" plays, and he can feel the vibration of the drum beats and the taps of drone feet through the floor.

Hey, Peter. What's wrong?

...Kae...? What... how long have you been standing there?
[He's still clutching thin air, but when he lowers his hands to his sides, he suddenly squats on the ground, scooping up something only he can see.]

These postcards... it's just some... it's a trick!
[He starts to panic when he follows her gaze.]
NO! DON'T LOOK AT THEM! THEY'RE FAKE! I wouldn't... he wouldn't do that.
He didn't do that.

You don't... they're right there!! The postcards... with those terrible pictures on them... pictures of Spider-Man and he's... I think I took them, but I couldn't possibly have... that's not possible!

God, there's so much blood.

She does know one thing, though. She should get him up off the sidewalk, and probably inside. Preferably sitting down.]
Peter, come on. Let's get you up off the ground, ok?

All of them. I'm... there's someone being killed by him in every one of them. Gwen. Captain DeWolff. Harry. Kraven. Uncle Ben. Spider-Man is killing them all, and the postcards keep coming out of... they must be in ALL OF THEM! Why would someone...!
I didn't mean for this to happen.
I tried.

Peter, you didn't- [Not sure how to finish that sentence.] Look, Spider-Man isn't here so we don't have to worry about what he's doing or not doing ok? Let's go, we're not that far from my place, you can sit there.
