Panel 1

*Setting: A living room with a coffee table covered in newspapers and magazines.

The phone is slightly bent, with a small crease visible on the screen.* Person (Muttering to themselves)

Person: Why does my coffee insist on leaving these little creases?

Panel 2

*Setting: A sleek, modern kitchen. The person is standing at the counter, flipping through a recipe book with one hand and holding the creased foldable phone with the other. They pause, looking perplexed.* Person (To the phone)
