Chapter 3 - Deep Meaning Behind Two Panels

His eyes suddenly opened, he leaned closer to see the contents of the message, [nwqiodqwd.tor]

He copied and pasted it to his virtual machine, when the site fully loaded, he didn't even read the contents and immediately downloaded it, afraid it would refresh and would get lost again.

Zeno clicked open the downloaded image, what greeted him is the same person from the first panel, but it is a close up of the guy's face, frowning.

Beside the guy's face is a sad face emoticon and a bar above it.

He read the text below the drawings, 'I was pretty bummed out about it...'

'My bike got stolen recently. I was pretty bummed out about it...'

Zeno tried his luck again and looked at the guy's emotion, but after ten minutes, he got nothing. He was about to lay back on his chair again when suddenly, the sad face emoticon and the bar above it got in to his peripheral vision.

'Does the sad face emoticon and the bar have some sort of connection to the third panel somehow?'

He leaned closer to his monitor, looking closely at every pixel of the second panel, he looked at it from every angle, but one angle in particular caught his eye, that is upside down.

'The guy's expressions doesn't change in the first and second panel, his mouth is always frowning, even the half oval bars that are supposed to lock his bike looked as if they were also frowning, add that up to the sad face emoticon and...'

A large amount of information poured into his brain as he tried to decipher them one by one, 'The amount of hidden meanings in these two panels...'

He combined the two panels in Photoshop and looked at them closely, Zeno looked at the guy's expressions again and what made him wide eyed is the obvious clue the artist put up.

The circle eyes resembling the letter 'O', the sad faces placed in the two panels, the one P in the second panel, the bike which is used to SIT on, and the surprised face the guy has in the first panel which, coincidentally, the word 'Surprised' also has only one letter P.

Zeno placed the letters on notepad, Two O's that he got from the guy's eyes in the first panel, Two P's, one in the word 'Pretty' in the second panel and one in the word 'Surprised' he got from the guy's surprised expression, and the word SIT, he got from the bike.

He tried to think of the words that has the letters he got from the first and second panel of the meme.

'O--Opo...?'

'Oposit?'

'Opposite!!'

His grin reached from ear to ear as he looked back to his computer, 'Opposite of his sadness would be happiness! But why would he be happy about his bike getting stolen...?'
