Panel 1
*Alex stands in a gym, wearing the sleek new face mask. Sam is at a treadmill, deadpanning as Robin cheerfully sets up the mask's display screen nearby.*
Alex: This mask is like having a personal lab in your lungs! I can't wait to see my metabolic data.
Panel 2
*Robin holds up a tablet connected to the mask, displaying colorful graphs and charts.* Sam (eyeing the tablet skeptically)
Robin: It’s so easy! Just breathe in and out. You’ll be a data analyst in no time!
Sam: Great, now I have to worry about my breath being on par with a professional athlete’s.
Panel 3
*Alex looks at the tablet with wide eyes, while Sam stands behind him, facepalming.* Sam (sighing) Robin (grinning)
Alex: Wow, my VO₂ max is off the charts! I must be like a superhuman!
Sam: You mean, you’re still you, just with fancier numbers.
Robin: But who needs numbers when you have super breath, right?
