Self-defense. The prior strip explicitly lays out the reality of the situation we're about to see, mainly through panels three and four:
>himbo is continuing the problem behavior after the break-up
>himbo objectively needs a therapist because a third party says so
>twink is still supportive of the himbo's search for mental healthcare
If you open with the break-up strip instead, there's at least two panels in there where his core audience could pause their reading and go "wow, this seems like an abusive relationship, so this is actually a derogatory portrayal of gays and I'm gonna have to riot until some hands get stabbed." Starting with the post-mortem avoids that risk by defusing all the drama in advance.
