Transcript:
Panel 1. Cepper, the Gothic Sorceress, sits on an ornate armchair (probably in the luxuous University of Magic). Her legs dangling over the armrest. A painting on the wall, an interior plants. She blows a stream of soap bubbles, her expression focused but distant. Her Avian Intelligence Parrot perches nearby; curious.
AI Parrot: Beautiful. Can I assist optimizing your bubble-production parameters?
Panel 2. Close up on both character, Cepper is slightly annoyed to answer, while a few more bubbles drift away and she reload with soap.
Cepper: No. I'm just relaxing, you tin can. Not everything needs optimization.
Panel 3. Cepper blows a new stream of bubble while the AI Parrot tries very hard to understand this human activity.
AI Parrot: Ah, so you find relaxation in watching the bubbles float away peacefully.
Panel 4. Extreme close-up on Cepper's eyes, darker and intense while the bubbles pop in front of her eyes. The AI Parrot "get it" and feels an intense fear.
Cepper: I find relaxation watching them explode.
